Stop buying ice just to watch it disappear.
Reusable ice offers a cleaner, more convenient alternative to traditional bagged ice. It can be frozen, loaded into your cooler and used again for your next adventure.
NUGSAX® takes reusable ice to another level by containing premium reusable ice cubes inside durable mesh bags. You get flexible cooling without loose cubes, repeated trips to buy ice or a cooler full of melted water.
PURIFIED WATER. REUSABLE DESIGN.
Reusable ice is a cooling product designed to replace or supplement traditional ice inside a cooler. Unlike regular ice, which melts into water and must be replaced, reusable ice can be refrozen and used repeatedly.
NUGSAX® uses individual reusable ice cubes filled with purified water and contained inside a durable mesh bag. The cubes can shift and conform around drinks and food, while the bag keeps everything together for easier handling.
Once frozen, NUGSAX® helps maintain the temperature inside your cooler. After the adventure, remove the bag and return it to the freezer so it is ready for next time.
The biggest benefit is right in the name: reusable ice is designed for repeated use.
Traditional ice disappears after one trip. NUGSAX® can travel from your freezer to your cooler and back again, helping you avoid buying a new bag of ice before every outing.
Traditional ice eventually creates cooler soup. Cans start floating, labels peel away and food packaging can become soaked.
NUGSAX® reusable ice cubes remain sealed and contained inside the mesh bag. The frozen cubes thaw inside their individual shells instead of becoming loose water at the bottom of your cooler.
Buying regular ice often means making an additional stop before leaving town. During busy weekends, that can mean long lines, empty ice freezers and another recurring expense.
Keeping reusable ice in your freezer means your cooling solution is already at home and ready to go.
Instead of scooping loose ice or draining gallons of melted water, lift the entire NUGSAX® out of the cooler.
Wipe or rinse the exterior if needed and return it to the freezer. Your reusable ice is ready for the next trip.
Bagged reusable ice makes it easier to organize the contents of your cooler. Position NUGSAX® underneath, alongside or on top of your drinks and food without individual cubes scattering throughout the cooler.
Reusable ice is ready for cooler duty wherever your plans take you.
WHEREVER THE COOLER GOES, NUGSAX® CAN GO WITH IT.
We understand the concern: does reusable ice simply mean adding more plastic to the world?
NUGSAX® was created with a different goal—to help reduce the repeated cycle of buying, using and throwing away single-use plastic ice bags.
Traditional bagged ice usually comes in plastic packaging that is used once and discarded. Over time, those bags can add up. Improperly discarded plastic also has the potential to reach parks, lakes, rivers and other waterways.
NUGSAX® is designed to be used repeatedly. Instead of purchasing another plastic bag of ice for every cookout, boat trip or weekend away, one reusable product can support trip after trip.
Some reusable cooling products contain chemical gels. NUGSAX® reusable ice cubes are filled with purified water—not chemical cooling gel.
The purified water remains sealed inside each cube, while the durable mesh bag keeps the cubes contained and easy to handle.
NUGSAX® is not intended to be another disposable product. It is designed to remain in your routine: freezer, cooler and back again.
Taking care of your NUGSAX® and using it repeatedly can help reduce your dependence on traditional bagged ice and the disposable plastic packaging that comes with it.

Both products can help keep a cooler cold, but they offer very different experiences.
Regular ice still has its place, particularly when you need ice that can be added directly to a beverage. NUGSAX® is made to cool the food, drinks and gear inside your cooler. Its reusable ice cubes are not intended to be removed from the bag or placed inside drinks.
Some people also combine reusable ice with traditional ice for longer outings or when drinkable ice will be needed at the destination.

NUGSAX® combines the flexibility of individual reusable ice cubes with the convenience of an easy-to-handle freezer pack.
Traditional freezer packs are often rigid blocks. While they can provide cooling, their fixed shape may leave unused space inside a packed cooler.
The cubes shift inside the mesh bag, allowing NUGSAX® to fit around cans, bottles, food containers and the sides of your cooler. The bag keeps the cubes together, making your reusable ice easier to arrange, remove and refreeze.
THE REUSABLE CONVENIENCE OF A FREEZER PACK WITH THE FLEXIBILITY OF ONE USE TRADITIONAL ICE.
Choose Your NUGSAX®Place NUGSAX® in your freezer and give them 24 hours to freeze.
Use NUGSAX® in the bag or dump the cubes straight into your cooler.
Keep the cooler closed as much as possible and out of direct sunlight when you can.
After the trip, remove your NUGSAX®, clean the exterior if necessary and place it back in the freezer.
