🔥 Step 2: Create or Download a Design
You can use design software like Canva, Photoshop, or Silhouette Studio to create a custom design. Need ideas? Try names, quotes, logos, or seasonal graphics (like Halloween or Christmas themes).
Prefer ready-made designs? Sites like Creative Fabrica and Etsy offer downloadable sublimation PNG files.
🖨️ Step 3: Print Your Design
Use a sublimation printer (like Epson EcoTank converted for sublimation) with sublimation ink. Print your design on sublimation paper, and make sure it’s mirrored before printing.
🧤 Step 4: Prepare and Press
-
Clean the tumbler to remove any dust or oil.
-
Wrap the printed design tightly around the tumbler using heat-resistant tape.
-
Insert the tumbler into a heat press machine or sublimation oven.
-
Press at the correct temperature and time (usually 360–380°F for 5–6 minutes depending on the machine).
Tip: Always follow the recommended settings based on the type and size of the tumbler.
🎁 Step 5: Let It Cool & Enjoy
After pressing, let your tumbler cool down completely. Then peel off the paper and admire your beautiful, permanent, and vibrant custom design – dishwasher safe and long-lasting!
