Case Study: 100 MOQ Custom Printed Neoprene Koozies for US Startup Promotional E‑commerce Brand
Client Overview
This client is a new US‑based e‑commerce startup focusing on personalized promotional gifts for small businesses and local events.

They searched for OEM manufacturers supporting low‑volume custom koozies and partnered with Libra Neoprene.
Note: Client brand name kept confidential per NDA agreement.
Client Pain Points & Project Goals
- Traditional suppliers require minimum order 500‑1000 units, too high for market testing.
- Client only provided rough concept sketches, no finished technical drawings or tech‑pack.
- Need multi‑color full‑sublimation printing, custom size for standard 12oz beverage cans.
- Need fast sampling to catch local holiday sales window in short timeline.
- Require neutral retail‑ready packaging for direct resale to end customers.
