Why Choose a Custom 20oz Skinny Tumbler? 🥤

Design Tips for Sublimation Printing
To get the best print results, keep the following in mind when designing:
- ✅ Use High-Resolution Images: Aim for at least 300 DPI for crisp and clear printing.
- Mind the Edges: Avoid placing important text, faces, or logos too close to the edge of the canvas. Allow for a bleed area to ensure nothing gets trimmed or warped during wrapping.
- 🚫 Avoid Thin Borders: These can easily become uneven once the tumbler is printed.
- Full Wrap Designs: Use the full canvas space to create a seamless wrap-around effect, but remember to leave breathing room at the top and bottom.
- Contrast Is Key: Light pastel tones may not show up as vibrantly on stainless steel, so consider contrast when working with lighter colours.
