You can buy pre-made full wrap sublimation designs online. But the real fun of making a sublimation tumbler is the personalization part. Learn to make your own designs or order a personalized one from a designer.
The sublimation process allows you to apply detailed intricate images to tumblers.
They are also great as special party favors. If you’re looking for something different than traditional party favors, consider giving out sublimation designed tumbler cups instead.
Not only do they come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but they also make great conversation pieces.
Plus, they’re reusable so you won’t have to worry about throwing away any plastic cups after the party.
