Koozies

Hello, So you want to submit your own art to Drink Out Loud.

Most people who come here have 1 of 3 scenarios.

I just want to do text on Koozie, How do I do that?

I have created some art and want to use my own art?

I want to design my Koozie online?

Well, good news, we have answers for all 3 questions.

I just want to do text on a Koozie, How do I do that?

Couple of ways we can handle that.

1. We have a word document formatted for koozies. You can put your information on that document, save it, and then on the very last page of the order form, attach your word document. Keep in mind, we do one color screen printing, so your word document needs to be black and white. Whatever black ink on your document will represent our ink color on your koozie. That document is right here. No charge for that. Select "I am submitting my own design in section 5 for Print Design"

2. You can ask us to design the text for you. We charge $20.00 to lay out your text. Truthfully, it sounds like a lot, but in our 10 plus years experience doing this, we have learned that our idea of how it should look and yours will differ, and there will be multiple changes.

3. You can design it online yourself. Use our Design online Koozie Site for this.

OK, A lot of rules and regulations here to make your koozies look great. We don't want to print sub par koozies - as you will not be happy.

What files do we accept? We accept .tif, .gif, .bmp files and we love to get Adobe Illustrator or .ai files. Corel Draw or .cd files work well too.

Very important!!! Images taken off the internet do not print on koozies!! They look good on your computer, but not in print.

The image you send us must be black and white. Whatever black ink on your document will represent our ink color on your koozie. Shades of gray, jagged edges, dots, etc will not work.

Below are some examples of acceptable and unacceptable files. A rough rule of thumb is to print your artwork on your printer and compare to the pictures on screen.

Screens and halftones are not recommended.  If artwork is not clean or sized correctly, we will return it.  We are unable to proof artwork that is not affiliated with an order.  Please place your order, then submit your artwork.

Print area sizes:

Key point!!  In screenprinting, the black area is the screen color and the white (background) is the KOOZIE color.  You can indicate any of our ink colors that you would like, just make sure the image you send us is black and white.  Here, the Text and graphic would be the ink color. .

We hope this helps.  We just want to make sure you get the best possible product.
