What to Put on the Back of Your Koozie: 30 Two-Sided Design Ideas

Two-sided printing is included at no extra charge on every koozie style we print, except the two magnetic styles, which print on one side. It is easy to fill the front and forget the back. That second side is free space for a date, a saying, a hashtag, a QR code or a second photo. Here are 30 ideas, grouped by occasion, plus a few rules that keep the back readable.

How the back side works in the design tool

On every style except magnetic, the Front and Back buttons sit above the mockup on the design page. Each side is its own canvas. Design the front, tap Back, and add whatever you like. The price does not change. Your emailed mockup shows both sides, so check them both before you approve. The step-by-step guide covers the rest of the tool.

Weddings

1. The wedding date in large numbers, with the names small above it.
2. Your wedding hashtag, so guests tag the photos.
3. "To have and to hold and to keep your drink cold."
4. The venue and the city, the way a concert shirt lists the tour stop.
5. A QR code to the wedding website, the RSVP form or a shared photo album. Our QR code guide explains sizing.
6. "Eat, drink and be married."
7. A short thank-you from the couple: "Thanks for celebrating with us."

Birthdays and parties

8. The age, huge: "40" on the back, the name on the front.
9. "Cheers to 40 years" with the party date underneath.
10. A childhood photo. Photos print in full color on light or dark koozies.
11. An inside joke that only the guests will get.
12. "Hold my drink" or another one-liner. Our sayings generator has more than 200 of them.
13. "Please return to the host" for a house party.

Bachelor and bachelorette parties

14. The weekend's city and dates: "Nashville, May 15 to 17."
15. Each guest's nickname. Every name is a separate design with its own minimum of 12 (6 on 16 oz and magnetic), so one shared line is the practical choice.
16. "The last one before the big one."
17. The groom's or bride's face on the back and the party name on the front.

Businesses, bars and breweries

18. Your website address, in a bold font, large enough to read across a table.
19. A QR code to your menu, your Google reviews page or your booking page.
20. "Est. 2016" or whatever year you opened.
21. Your Instagram handle.
22. Your tagline, one line, no more.
23. The event name and date for a beer release, an anniversary party or a trade show.

Fundraisers, teams and schools

24. A QR code to the donation page.
25. Sponsor logos in a row. Keep each one simple, because small logos lose detail.
26. The season or the year: "Spring 2027 Season."
27. "Go team" in the school colors, with the mascot on the front.

Family reunions and holidays

28. The family name and the reunion year, with the lake or the town.
29. "Happy Holidays 2026" on the back of a company or family gift koozie.
30. "Cheers to 2027" for a New Year's party or a January client mailing.

Rules that keep the back readable

• Keep the back simpler than the front. One line of text, or one code, or one photo. The front carries the main design.
• Match the ink. Use the same ink color on both sides unless you have a reason not to. Each text, art or monogram element has its own ink color, so you can mix if you want. A generated QR code stays black on white.
• Size the text for a koozie, not a poster. Bold fonts at a readable size print clearly. Thin script and tiny text do not.
• Watch the contrast. Light ink on dark koozies and dark ink on light ones.
• Check both sides of the mockup. Read every name and date on both sides before you approve. The mockup is the last stop before printing.

Frequently asked questions

Does printing on both sides cost extra?

No. Two-sided full-color printing is included in the listed price on the regular, slim, 16 oz, pattern and ombre styles. The two magnetic styles print on one side.

Can the front and back be different designs?

Yes. Each side is its own canvas in the design tool, so the front and back can be completely different.

Can I put a photo on one side and text on the other?

Yes. Any mix works: a photo and a saying, a logo and a QR code, or two different photos.

Can the back use a different ink color than the front?

Yes. Each text, art or monogram element has its own ink color, so the two sides can use different colors. A generated QR code stays black on white.

Do magnetic koozies print on both sides?

No. The magnetic regular and magnetic slim styles print on one side only, so the design tool shows no Back button for them.
