Help with Marking Cooler

[curtintex]

My coolers have a tendency to disappear or get damaged. My kids use them. I loan them to my company events, never to be seen again. My friends drive around with them in the back of their truck with rusting beer cans and 6 day old fish. I recently replenished my cooler inventory with various sizes that we mostly use and I'd like to better manage them and ensure their return.

The question is: What is the best way to mark my coolers with my name, logo or brand? I'm afraid a sticker would come off. I've thought about using a stencil and paint. I thought maybe using my electric branding iron to lightly "brand" the outer plastic core. I thought about using a Dremel tool to scribe my name into the cooler. In the past, I've used a Black marker, but I want something that looks a little better than that.

Does anyone have any good ideas? Do's or Don'ts?

Bad news. Most of my coolers have names on them, just not my name.

A friend of mine brands all of his roto molded coolers. Seems to work well.

Giant magic marker. Large name across the lid.

Take a can of yellow and red spraypaint and sit them on top of the cooler. Then shoot them with a large caliber gun. The resulting paint splatter should mark them up sufficiently. LOL

Edit: You might also add a can of green and blue paint. Purple and bright pink might work too.

Ppl will steal and/or borrow and not return them, unless you draw something really vulgar on the lid. But then you can't use your ice chest around grandparents and in laws.

Same. Buddy of mine has his
Brand on all his coolers.

If the radio-active sticker doesn't work, get some red shrink wrap, stencils, and black paint. Wrap red, stencil on Bio-hazard top and all 4 sides.
