🔥 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

  1. Clean the tumbler to remove any dust or oil.

  2. Wrap the printed design tightly around the tumbler using heat-resistant tape.

  3. Insert the tumbler into a heat press machine or sublimation oven.

  4. 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!
