πŸ›’ Ordering & Pricing

There is no strict minimum order β€” you can purchase a single tumbler if you'd like! However, our best value starts at our 4-pack, and the per-unit price drops significantly at the 25-pack and 50-pack tiers. If you're just starting out or testing a new design, a 4-pack is a great way to begin.

Pro tip: Our 50-pack brings the per-unit cost down to $6.00 β€” ideal for Etsy sellers and small business owners who move volume.

Yes! We offer tiered bulk pricing on all of our core products. The more you buy, the lower your per-unit cost:

  • 4-pack: $27.99 ($7.00/unit)
  • 25-pack: $162.99 ($6.52/unit)
  • 50-pack: $299.99 ($6.00/unit)

For orders larger than 50 units or for ongoing wholesale accounts, please contact us directly to discuss custom pricing.

Currently, our bulk packs are offered per SKU (same size and finish). If you'd like to mix sizes or colors across a larger order, please reach out to us and we'll do our best to accommodate your needs. We're always working to make ordering more flexible for our customers.

🍡 Products & Quality

Our tumblers are made from food-grade 304 stainless steel, which is BPA-free, rust-resistant, and safe for both hot and cold beverages. The interior is uncoated stainless steel, and the exterior features a smooth sublimation-ready coating that accepts vibrant, long-lasting dye sublimation prints.

Why 304 stainless? It's the same grade used in professional kitchenware β€” durable, non-reactive, and easy to clean.

Yes! Our 20oz skinny straight tumblers feature double-wall vacuum insulation, which keeps cold drinks cold for up to 24 hours and hot drinks hot for up to 12 hours. This makes them ideal for everyday use, gifting, and resale.

Our current primary offering is the 20oz skinny straight tumbler β€” the most popular size for sublimation crafters and small business owners. We also carry select specialty items including color-changing tumblers, glow-in-the-dark tumblers, sippy cups, and 11oz sublimation mugs (availability varies β€” check the shop for current stock).

We are actively expanding our catalog. Sign up for our email list to be notified when new sizes (30oz, 40oz, wine tumblers, and more) become available.

Yes, our 20oz skinny straight tumblers include a clear plastic lid, rubber bottom, cleaning brush, stainless steel straw and a plastic straw. The lid features a slide-close opening for easy sipping. If you need replacement lids or straws, or if you're purchasing for a specific lid style, please check the individual product listing for details or contact us.

We recommend hand washing only for sublimated tumblers. Dishwashers use high heat and harsh detergents that can fade or damage sublimation prints over time and may compromise the vacuum seal. A quick rinse with warm soapy water is all that's needed to keep your tumbler looking great.

🌈 Sublimation Tips & Techniques

For best results with our 20oz skinny straight tumblers, we recommend the following settings as a starting point (adjust based on your specific press):

  • Temperature: 385Β°F – 400Β°F (196Β°C – 204Β°C)
  • Time: 60–75 seconds
  • Pressure: Medium (firm but not crushing)
  • Wrap: Use a silicone wrap or shrink wrap sleeve to ensure even pressure
Pro tip: Always do a test press with a small design before committing to a full batch. Results can vary by press brand, altitude, and paper type.

We recommend using a high-release sublimation paper (such as A-SUB, Beaver Paper, or TexPrint) for the best color vibrancy and transfer quality. Standard copy paper will not work for sublimation. Make sure your paper is compatible with your sublimation ink and printer brand for optimal results.

Yes. Sublimation requires either a dedicated sublimation printer (such as the Sawgrass SG500/SG1000) or a compatible Epson EcoTank/WorkForce printer converted with sublimation ink. Standard inkjet or laser printers will not produce sublimation prints. You'll also need sublimation-specific ink β€” do not mix sublimation ink with regular ink cartridges.

Faded or washed-out prints are usually caused by one of the following:

  • Temperature too low β€” increase by 5–10Β°F and test again
  • Time too short β€” add 5–10 seconds to your press time
  • Insufficient pressure β€” ensure your silicone wrap is tight with no gaps
  • Paper shifted during pressing β€” use heat-resistant tape to secure the paper before pressing
  • Old or dried-out ink β€” check your ink expiration date and printer nozzle check
Tip: Always print a nozzle check pattern before a production run to ensure all ink channels are firing correctly.

For sharp, professional-quality prints, design at a minimum of 300 DPI (dots per inch) at the actual print size. For a 20oz skinny tumbler, a typical full-wrap design template is approximately 9.5" wide Γ— 8.25" tall. Using lower resolution images will result in blurry or pixelated prints.

Yes! Our color-changing and glow-in-the-dark tumblers are sublimation-ready, just like our standard tumblers. However, there are a few important notes:

  • Use lighter, more transparent designs so the color-change or glow effect remains visible through the print
  • Avoid pressing at temperatures above 400Β°F as excessive heat can affect the special coating
  • The color-change effect activates with cold beverages; the glow effect requires exposure to light before use in the dark

Our Done For You service means we handle the entire sublimation process for you. You provide your design (or choose from our template library), and we print, press, and ship finished, ready-to-sell tumblers directly to you or your customers. This is perfect for:

Please submit your design as a high-resolution PNG or PDF file at 300 DPI or higher. The design should be sized to fit a 20oz skinny tumbler wrap (approximately 9.5" Γ— 8.25").
