SO, for today's video I am using some of my favorite new clipart to spice up an all text design. Banners are a great, quick way to add some art to your message.

Simple & Bold - Koozies!

Happy New Year Inkers! I thought I would start this new year off with a video featuring another popular product on our site, Koozies! They make a great party favor, but require some extra attention when printed because of their size and how the ink reacts on them. The negative space inside and between the letters can be troublesome, but have no fear, CustomInk is here! We triple check all orders to make sure they will print well. Plus, we will give you a call if we need to make changes to allow for the best print. We want to make sure your koozies turn out great for your big day. The tips in this video will help you design a koozie with confidence so you can focus on planning the other parts of your event. Keep an eye out for more koozie videos this year, and others featuring more than t-shirts! Thanks for watching!
