The amount of ice used is the most important factor in
achieving long-lasting ice retention.
The fuller your cooler is with cold food, beverages and ice,
the longer the contents will stay cold. Empty space reduces
the performance of all coolers.
36 Can Leak Proof Welded Cooler
Pre-chilling your cooler
For best results, pre-chill your cooler by fully loading it
with ice the night before use. If the cooler starts out
warm before you fill it, the ice will melt at a quicker
pace as the ice will have to cool down the walls of the
cooler.
Starting off with COLD contents
The colder the contents are at the time of packing, the
longer they will retain their initial temperature.
Keeping the cooler out of direct sunlight
A cooler kept in the sun will not perform as well as a
cooler stored in the shade.
Open your cooler as little and for as short an amount
of time as possible
Opening the cooler frequently allows the cool air to
escape and the warm air outside to get in. Opening
the cooler less frequently can greatly increase the
performance of your cooler.
1. Use the right amount of ice
2. Use the right type of ice

Chipped ice and ice from ice machines are not as dense as
ice from freezers and will not perform as well. Using block ice
can further extend ice retention time.
How coolers are tested for ice claims
Claims that refer to the length of time (in days or hours)
that a cooler “holds ice” or “keeps ice” are typically
based on a testing protocol where the coolers are 100%
filled with cubed ice and are not opened during
testing. The test is complete when all of the ice has fully
melted.
Why are coolers tested this way?
Because coolers filled with 100% ice are used across the
industry, it enables consumers to compare the ice
retention performance between different sized coolers
and different cooler brands.
While this standard is helpful in allowing for comparisons
between products and brands, it is not an accurate
reflection of “real life” usage. In reality, most people
would not fill the entire cooler with ice but would have
food and/or drinks inside along with some ice. Similarly,
most people would open their coolers at various times
during usage and much like a refrigerator, coolers lose
performance the more often they are opened.
Care & Performance Guide
To achieve multiple days of ice retention with your cooler, ensure
that you are packing it correctly. For optimum performance,
