The corporate gifts people keep are the ones they use: a cooler that rides in the truck, a tumbler that goes to every job site. GATR builds both with your company logo in our shop in Thibodaux, Louisiana. Custom Marine Mat cooler pads go on coolers from 20 to 110 quart, and laser engraving goes on the whole drinkware range. Standard turnaround is three to four weeks after proof approval, so for gifts in hand by mid-December, approve your proof by mid-November.
Why coolers and drinkware work as company gifts
Most branded gifts end up in a drawer. A rotomolded cooler or an insulated tumbler gets used every week, on the job, on the boat, at the deer camp or the tailgate, and your logo goes with it. For crews and clients who spend their days outside, it is the gift that fits how they live.
- It lasts. GATR hard coolers are one-piece rotomolded with a limited lifetime warranty on the shell against defects in material and workmanship. Laser engraving burns through the powder coat to the steel, so it does not peel or wash off.
- The logo is part of the product. A Marine Mat lid pad is non-skid, absorbs heat before it reaches the lid, and is the same material used on boat decks. It turns the lid into something people want to show off.
- It works at any headcount. Engraved tumblers for a whole crew, coolers for the top ten clients, or both.
What to give, by budget per person
| Budget per person | Gift | Product price | Logo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under $50 | GATR 20oz Tumbler | $25 | Laser engraving, from $12 |
| Around $50 to $60 | GATR 40oz Big Grip Tumbler, or a 32oz insulated bottle | $35 to $40 | Laser engraving, from $12 |
| Around $250 | GATR Egg 12 soft cooler | $180 | Custom lid pad, $70 |
| Around $280 | GATR 20 hard cooler, 22 cans plus ice | $200 | Custom lid pad, $80 |
| Around $390 | GATR 45 hard cooler, 42 cans plus ice | $300 | Custom lid pad, $90 |
Engraving starts at $12 per piece; the final price depends on the finish and how many logos. Lid pads cost $70 to $110 depending on the cooler. Volume changes the number. Current prices for everything are on the custom logo coolers page.
One setup that works well: engraved tumblers for everyone on the team, and a cooler with a logo pad for the top clients or the employee of the year.
Timing for holiday gifts
Count back from the day you need the gifts in hand:
- About a week for the quote, your artwork and the digital proof.
- Three to four weeks of production, starting when you approve the proof.
- Shipping, or pick-up at the shop in Thibodaux.
For December gifts that means asking for a quote by early November. If the date is tighter, tell us when you ask: rush service is available for a fee, and we will tell you straight whether the date works.
What we need from you
- The product and the quantity
- Your logo artwork. We decorate; designing a logo from scratch is quoted separately and takes longer
- How you want it applied: cooler pad, engraving or full-color print
- The date you need it

Frequently asked questions
What is a good corporate gift for people who work outside?
Something they will use every day: an insulated tumbler or a rotomolded cooler with the company logo. GATR tumblers start at $25 plus engraving, and GATR coolers start at $180 for the Egg 12 soft cooler and $200 for the GATR 20 hard cooler, plus the logo pad.
How far ahead should I order custom holiday gifts?
About five weeks before you need them: roughly a week for quote and proof, then three to four weeks of production after you approve the proof. Rush service is available for a fee.
Is there a minimum order for custom drinkware or coolers?
No fixed minimum. Customizing is offered for single units and in case packs, so you can order one gift or a run for the whole company.
How much does it cost to put a logo on a tumbler or cooler?
Laser engraving on drinkware starts at $12 per piece. A custom lid pad costs $80 to $110 on a hard cooler and $70 on a GATR Egg, on top of the product price. Volume changes the number, so ask for a quote with your quantity.
Can I mix products in one order?
Yes. You can order engraved drinkware for everyone and coolers with logo pads for a smaller group under one quote.
Where are the gifts customized?
In the GATR shop in Thibodaux, Louisiana. The pads, the engraving and the printing are all done in-house.
