Selecting the correct stubby holder size ensures your custom drink coolers fit snug, look sharp, and insulate effectively. A sleeve that is too loose will slide off when lifted, while a sleeve that is too small can tear seams or distort artwork.
With the beverage market expanding to include standard beer cans, slim seltzers, craft cans, and glass bottles, this guide breaks down dimensions, drink fits, and measurement tips to help you choose with confidence.
Standard Can Size (375ml Cans & Stubby Bottles)
The standard Australian stubby holder is engineered for classic 375ml aluminum beer cans and traditional short glass stubby bottles (such as VB, Carlton Draught, or XXXX Gold).
Flat Template Dimensions: 220 mm width x 115 mm height.
Assembled Height: Approximately 110 mm.
Base Fit: Open base with a base tape join, or closed neoprene base.
Best Suited For: Traditional draft beers, cider cans, premixed spirit cans, and classic glass stubby bottles.
Standard 3mm foldable coolers remain our most popular option because they stretch slightly to fit a wide array of mid-sized containers. View available layouts in our 3mm Foldable Standard collection.
Slim Can Size (330ml Skinny Cans & Hard Seltzers)
Slimline cans—popularized by hard seltzers, premixed RTDs, energy drinks, and craft beers—have a narrower diameter and taller profile than traditional cans.
Flat Template Dimensions: 195 mm width x 125 mm height.
Assembled Height: Approximately 120 mm.
Best Suited For: White Claw, Smirnoff Ice, Red Bull, glass mixer bottles, and 330ml skinny craft cans.
Using a standard cooler on a slim can results in an oversized fit that lets cold air escape. Choosing a dedicated slimline sleeve guarantees a snug grip. Explore slim options in our 3mm Standard Slim category.
Bottle & Long Neck Fit Guide
Glass long-neck bottles (such as Corona, Heineken, or craft IPA bottles) require specialized coverage to protect the neck and maintain cold temperatures from top to bottom.
Zippered neoprene bottle jackets feature a heavy-duty front or rear zipper that allows you to slide the bottle in smoothly and zip it closed around the bottleneck.

How to Measure Your Drink Container
If you are serving an unconventional beverage or craft craft brew at your event, measuring your container takes less than a minute:
Measure Circumference: Wrap a flexible tailor’s tape around the widest part of the can or bottle.
Measure Height: Measure vertically from the flat base up to the shoulder where the neck narrows.
Compare Flat Width: Divide the circumference by 2 to determine the flat width needed for your artboard template.
