From can coolers to outdoor equipment, the Koozie® brand has grown a great deal in the 45 years since it first started. This brand makes its appearance regularly at sporting events, summer celebrations, college parties, and other fun-centric events. Now, let’s celebrate 45 years of cool with a look into the history of Koozie®, check out some of their popular custom products, and learn how we can join in the celebration of the 45-year anniversary of Koozie®.
The story behind the iconic Koozie® brand is the classic clever fix becomes industry icon, starting on a hot day in 1979, on a Texas construction site. One of the workers created his own DIY can cooler with some tubing insulation that appeared to be the perfect fit around his can. His friends quickly took up the idea, and it wasn’t long before the idea had spread from local life-hack to convenience store must-have.
That’s when Frank Krasovec, owner of Radio Cap Company (RCC), stumbled onto the invention. With a vision of can coolers taking root everywhere from sporting events to camping, he bought the Koozie® brand and design patent.
The brand was later purchased in 2009 by Bic Graphic, and has continued to expand beyond the can cooling industry into camping and travel gear, cooler bags, and other customizable Koozie® products that businesses can use to promote their own brands. Now, we’re celebrating the 45th anniversary of Koozie® and its growth from a life hack to a must-have.
