Behind the Design - How Custom RUFFNEK® Snoods Come to Life

At RUFFNEK®, we believe every design should tell a story. Over the years we’ve worked with some incredible organisations - from local sports clubs and charities to national names like The National Trust, who chose RUFFNEK® for their Pooch Passport campaign. Each project is unique, but the goal is always the same: to create high-quality custom snoods that people love to wear and that proudly represent your brand, club, or cause.

Why Choose Custom RUFFNEK® Snoods

Our multifunctional snoods are made from 100% recycled plastic bottles, designed to perform in all conditions. They’re lightweight, breathable, moisture-wicking and wind-resistant - ideal for any outdoor activity.

With our Custom Design Service, you can add your own logo, colours and artwork to create something completely bespoke. We regularly produce designs for:

• Running, cycling and sailing clubs

• Charities and fundraising events

• Outdoor challenges, marathons and adventure races

• Corporate branding, workwear and promotional gifts

• Public sector organisations - including the Armed Forces and Emergency Services

• Schools, colleges and universities - for teamwear, ski trips and sports training

• Pet and animal campaigns - including our work with The National Trust Pooch Passport Scheme

• Limited-edition designer collaborations and retail ranges

Whether you’re looking for a unifying team snood, an eco-friendly event giveaway, or branded merchandise that promotes your organisation sustainably, we’ll help bring your idea to life.

How the Process Works

1. Share your idea - send us your logo, artwork, or inspiration.

2. Design mock-up - we’ll create a digital visual so you can see exactly how your snood will look before production.

3. Sustainable printing - each design is printed using long-lasting sublimation inks on our soft recycled microfibre fabric.

4. Proof & production - once approved, your snoods go into production with strict quality checks for colour, stretch, and print accuracy.

5. Eco-friendly packaging - every order arrives in our compact, biodegradable Compact by Design CD-size packaging (approximately 14 x 14 cm and 1.5 cm thick). It’s recyclable, lightweight, and designed for easy storage, lower postage costs, and a smaller environmental footprint. Retail hangers are available on request.

Community & Collaboration

RUFFNEK® has built strong relationships with outdoor communities across the UK. From sports clubs uniting their members with team snoods, to charities raising awareness and funds - such as Riding for the Disabled - our custom designs have become part of many inspiring stories.

We’ve also produced official event merchandise for charity races like the Walk the Walk Moonlight Marathon (London) and endurance challenges such as the Brighton Trail Marathon, as well as corporate branding projects for businesses seeking a practical, eco-friendly alternative to traditional promotional items.

For creative partnerships, we’ve collaborated with designers and outdoor influencers, including Ruth on the Hoof, to produce limited-edition collections that celebrate individuality, adventure, and the outdoors.
