What materials do I need to make sublimation tumblers?
Sublimation tumblers are a great way to show off your team logo and other branding. They’re also useful for keeping drinks cold and hot, but they can break if you drop them too much or use them in the wrong way. That’s why I made this guide: so that you don’t have to worry about breaking your sublimation tumbler again!
20oz sublimation tumbler
The 20oz sublimation tumbler is the most common size and will give you plenty of space to work with. It’s also great for making cups, mugs, glasses and other items that require a small amount of liquid or liquid-based ink. If you’re looking for something even smaller than this one, though (like maybe an 8 oz), there are some options available online as well!
If your goal is simply creating cups or mugs out of paper instead of plastic or metal—or if your project requires a light touch—then the 20oz size might be right up your alley. But if those aren’t things that interest you at all then maybe it would be best just to go straight into making larger pieces like plaques or coasters instead?
Tack cloth or lint-free clean towel
Tack cloth is a soft, absorbent material that can be used to gently remove ink from paper. It’s also great for removing dust from other materials and smooths out sharp edges. A lint-free clean towel is similar to tack cloth in that it has a soft texture but is more absorbent and does not leave any lint behind after use.
Both of these items are readily available at most craft stores or online retailers such as Amazon or Walmart (or even your local grocery store!).
Sublimation paper
Sublimation paper is a special kind of paper that can be used to print on tumblers. It’s available in different colors and sizes, so you’ll have to choose one that fits the design you’re creating. Sublimation paper is more expensive than regular paper, but it’s also more durable and has better printing qualities than regular printer inkjet papers.
Oil-based sharpie pen
The sharpie pen is oil-based, permanent and water-resistant. It’s a great choice for making tumblers because it’s easy to use and will not stain your glassware.
The sharpie is also non-toxic, which makes it safe for kids or pets to play with!
Heat tape or painters tape
Heat tape is a better option. It’s more durable and can be used for longer. Painters tape is only good for short-term purposes, so if you’re looking to make sublimation tumblers that will last a while, it might not be the best choice.
You can make your own sublimation tumbler with a few simple tools.
Sublimation tumblers are used to make custom tumblers, but they can also be used for other applications. They are made from a plastic tumbler, sublimation paper and a heat source. The plastic tumbler is the most important part of your sublimation process because it holds all of your ingredients together while they dry.
Conclusion
Now that you know the materials needed to make sublimation tumblers, you can start on your own. The process is simple and takes just a few minutes. You can purchase them from Amazon, but if you have any questions or concerns, please contact us. We’re happy to help!
