Reusable Trip After Trip
Use With or Without the Bag
No Loose Meltwater
Your Cooler Deserves Better
Traditional Ice Creates Traditional Problems
Regular ice works, but it also disappears, creates a watery mess and sends you back to the store for another plastic bag.
It Creates Cooler Soup
Cans float, labels peel and food packaging can become soaked.
It Requires Another Stop
Buying ice usually means another errand before the adventure begins.
It Creates More Waste
Every new purchase usually comes inside another disposable plastic bag.
What Are NUGSAX® Ice Nugs?
Premium Reusable Ice Made for Coolers
NUGSAX® Ice Nugs are individual reusable ice cubes filled with purified water and packed inside a durable mesh bag.
The cubes shift and conform around cans, bottles, food containers and the sides of your cooler. Keep them together inside the bag for easy grab-and-go cooling or dump them directly into the cooler.
- Freeze and reuse them repeatedly
- No chemical cooling gel
- Flexible cubes conform around cooler contents
- Easy to load, remove, wash and refreeze
- Available in multiple sizes and packs
Why NUGSAX® Is Different
Not Another Bulky Freezer Pack
NUGSAX® combines the flexibility of loose ice with the reusable convenience of a freezer pack.
01
Flexible Cooling
Individual cubes move inside the bag and fit around your cooler contents instead of taking up space as one rigid block.
02
Purified Water Inside
NUGSAX® cubes are filled with purified water rather than chemical cooling gel.
03
Easy to Reuse
Bring them home, clean them when needed and return them to the freezer for the next trip.
04
Less Cooler Mess
Water remains sealed inside each cube as it thaws instead of collecting at the bottom of the cooler.
05
Fewer Ice Runs
Keep NUGSAX® in the freezer and your reusable ice will be ready whenever the cooler comes out.
06
Made for Adventure
Use NUGSAX® for boating, fishing, camping, tailgating, beach days, road trips and backyard gatherings.
Your Cooler. Your Call.
Use Them With or Without the Bag
NUGSAX® gives you the flexibility to set up your cooler the way you want.
Keep the Cubes in the Bag
Leave the Ice Nugs inside the mesh bag for easy loading, positioning, removal and refreezing. Grab the complete NUGSAX® when the day is over and take it home.
Dump the Cubes Out
Unzip the bag and distribute the individual reusable ice cubes throughout your cooler. Position them around cans, bottles, food or wherever you want additional cooling coverage.
Reusable Ice vs. Regular Ice
Make the Cooler Switch
Traditional ice disappears after one trip. NUGSAX® is designed to return to the freezer and do it all again.
The Honest Answer
Do Reusable Ice Cubes Melt?
The purified water inside NUGSAX® gradually thaws as it absorbs heat. The difference is that the water remains sealed inside each reusable cube instead of becoming loose meltwater at the bottom of your cooler.
After use, return the cubes to the freezer. They freeze again and are ready for your next trip.
