Soft coolers and soft-sided cooler bags
Soft-sided coolers for picnics, camping, sport and shopping — from folding cooler baskets to large shoulder coolers. Lighter than a hard cooler, they fold flat for shipping and store, which keeps freight and retail shelf costs down.

Buying guide
When a soft cooler is the right choice
Soft coolers win on weight, price, freight volume and convenience; hard coolers win on multi-day ice retention. For day trips, picnics, sport and grocery shopping a soft cooler with a 10–15 mm foam wall, a welded liner and a storm flap is the better retail product.
- Hold time: publish a tested range, not a claim — we run a timed test on your approved sample.
- Freight: folding constructions ship flat, often 3–4× more units per carton.
- Durability: 600D or 1680D outer, bar-tacked handle anchors, 5 kg handle pull test.

Frequently asked
How long does a soft cooler keep ice?
It depends on foam thickness, liner and closure. A 10 mm wall with a welded liner keeps refrigerated food below 8 °C for roughly 6–8 hours at 25 °C; 15–20 mm walls and a storm flap extend that. Results are confirmed by a timed test on the sample.
Are soft coolers leak-proof?
Models with heat-welded PEVA or TPU liners are leak-resistant; stitched liners are not. Every order is checked with a 1-litre water test on sampled units before shipment.
What sizes do soft coolers come in?
From around 6 cans (about 5 litres) for personal use up to 30–40 litres for family picnics. We quote capacity in cans and litres so retail buyers can compare like for like.
Not sure which construction fits?
Send the end use, the landed target and the quantity. We come back with two or three candidate models and what each one changes — fabric, liner, foam and carton spelled out.
