COMPARE THE CONSTRUCTIONS
13L vs. 15L vs. 17L retro coolers
The 13L and 17L references use a carry-handle format. The 15L reference uses a front-latch format. Capacity alone does not identify a model: match the construction and dimensions before approving artwork or packaging.
| Product reference | Construction | Product dimensions (cm) | Net weight (kg) | Model inquiry |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13L retro metal cooler | Carry handle | 29.5 × 23.5 × 36 | 3.3 | Quote 13L → |
| 15L retro metal cooler | Front latch | 32 × 25 × 31 | 3.3 | Quote 15L → |
| 17L retro metal cooler | Carry handle | 31.5 × 23.5 × 43 | 3.9 | Quote 17L → |
Dimensions retain the reference dimension sequence; they are not labeled length × width × height because orientation and handle position need confirmation on a drawing. These are not usable interior dimensions. Capacities are nominal, not guaranteed beverage counts.
Order minimums: match the exact model
Selected 13L and 15L listings start at 200 pieces. This is not a confirmed MOQ for every construction shown above. For 17L, request a model-specific minimum. Color splits, logo processes and custom packaging can change the required quantity; your written quotation confirms it.
Specification reference & model confirmation
Product and packing figures were checked against the manufacturing catalog on . Carton volumes are calculated from those figures. Images show representative finishes; the approved drawing and sample identify the order configuration. Product data contact: Andy, MetalCoolerWorks.
Export carton sizes & loading references
Use these figures for an initial freight comparison. Confirm the final packed sample, carton quantity and packing method before booking shipment.
| Capacity | Carton dimensions (cm) | Gross weight (kg) | Calculated carton volume (m³) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 13L | 35.5 × 28.5 × 40.5 | 4.0 | 0.0410 |
| 15L | 39 × 32 × 37 | 4.2 | 0.0462 |
| 17L | 38 × 28.5 × 46.5 | 4.8 | 0.0504 |
Calculated carton volume = three carton dimensions in centimetres multiplied together ÷ 1,000,000, rounded to four decimals. This is geometric carton volume, not a guaranteed chargeable freight volume.

| Capacity | 20GP | 40GP | 40HQ |
|---|---|---|---|
| 13L | 680 | 1,360 | 1,680 |
| 15L | 620 | 1,200 | 1,500 |
| 17L | 550 | 1,100 | 1,350 |
These are reference loading figures, not guaranteed shipment quantities. Final loading depends on carton revision, pallets, loading layout and shipment restrictions. Do not substitute them for a freight forwarder’s loading plan.
Custom logo, colors & packaging
Send your logo, color references and target quantity. Screen printing, water-transfer decoration, full-color wraps and embossing are processes to discuss; suitability, artwork limits, tooling and minimums depend on the selected model.
- Choose the construction. Confirm capacity, dimensions, handle or latch details and intended contents.
- Review artwork. Agree the logo position, printable area, colors and finishing method before preparing final artwork.
- Approve the sample. Confirm appearance, packaging and the written specification before production.
Choose for your buying brief
- Promotional gifts: compare the 13L format against the product dimensions and your gift-pack requirements.
- Retail collections: compare the 15L front-latch construction when its closure and proportions suit your range.
- Beverage programs: consider 17L when you need more nominal capacity; check bottle fit and ice space first.
Need a smaller format? Compare 7L mini retro coolers. For larger, wheeled outdoor use, explore rolling cooler carts.

Retro metal cooler buyer questions
What sizes of retro metal cooler are available?
This page compares 13L and 17L carry-handle retro metal coolers with a 15L front-latch model. The reference product dimensions are 29.5 × 23.5 × 36 cm for 13L, 32 × 25 × 31 cm for 15L, and 31.5 × 23.5 × 43 cm for 17L. Match the construction and drawing, not capacity alone.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Selected 13L and 15L listings start at 200 pieces. That minimum is not confirmed for every construction, color or logo process. The 17L minimum is quoted by configuration. Ask for written confirmation of MOQ for the exact model and customization.
Can I add a custom logo and brand colors?
Yes, request a private-label quotation with your logo, color references, quantity and packaging brief. Screen printing, water-transfer decoration, full-color wraps and embossing can be discussed. The selected model and artwork determine which process is feasible, along with tooling and minimum quantities.
How many cans fit, and how long does ice last?
No verified can count or ice-retention duration is provided for these configurations. Nominal capacity does not account for bottle shape, ice space or packing arrangement. Share your beverage dimensions and target performance, then request usable interior dimensions and model-specific testing before making a sales claim.
What carton volume should I use for freight planning?
The calculated reference carton volumes are approximately 0.0410 m³ for 13L, 0.0462 m³ for 15L and 0.0504 m³ for 17L. These values come from the listed carton dimensions, not a shipping quotation. Confirm carton quantity, final packaging and the forwarder’s chargeable volume.
Can I order a sample, and what is the lead time?
Ask Andy about sample availability, sample charges and dispatch timing for the selected model. Production lead time, payment terms and shipping terms are confirmed in the quotation after the quantity, artwork and packing requirements are reviewed; no fixed delivery window is promised here.
Are these stainless steel coolers?
This page describes metal-body retro coolers; it does not specify a stainless steel grade. Confirm the exterior metal, coating and inner liner for your selected model. For a different product category, compare our stainless steel ice chests.
