Numo Manufacturing builds its neoprene can coolers, tech sleeves, and totes in its own North American facilities rather than importing pre-made stock, and it has repeatedly won the industry’s own "Industry Choice" award for beverage insulators. That in-house build lets it turn small, highly customized batches quickly instead of running mass overseas minimums. It is a specialist, not a generalist: the range is neoprene and soft goods, built with real production control behind it.

Start this styled set →How fast can I get a quote?
Usually within 24 hours. Send us the pieces and rough quantities and we’ll come back with pricing and a proof, no obligation.
Can you help me choose the right products?
Absolutely. That’s the whole point of a curator. Tell us the occasion, who it’s for, and a budget, and we’ll come back with a short presentation of options that fit.
Do you help with the design and artwork?
Yes. Send your logo (vector AI/EPS/PDF is ideal; high-res PNG works) and we’ll lay it out on each piece, or design it with you. You always approve a proof before anything is produced.
Can you really decorate retail brands like Nike or YETI?
Yes, through each brand’s authorized program. Some retail brands review the company and the artwork before production, and a few limit decoration to specific techniques and placements. We handle those approvals and build around what each brand allows.
What’s the minimum order?
Most pieces start around 24–50 units; we’ll confirm the exact minimum for your item and quantity with your quote.
Can I get a sample first?
Usually, yes. Samples ride along with a project: once we know what you’re considering, we’ll get the piece in your hands so you can see and feel it before production.
How long does production and shipping take?
Typically about 1–2 weeks in production after you approve the proof, plus shipping. Rush options are available on many items.
How do I get started?
Hit “Start a Project” with the piece and rough quantity in mind. A real person replies within a day to confirm the details. From there you get a presentation with options and pricing, a proof to approve before anything is produced, and updates from production through tracked delivery.
