Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions on tumbler wrap templates, temperature calibration, and seam ghosting.
What is the exact wrap size for a 20oz straight skinny tumbler?
The standard 20oz straight skinny tumbler has an exact circumference of 9.25 inches (235 mm) and height of 8.125 inches (206.4 mm). With a recommended 0.125-inch seam bleed overlap, set your Photoshop/Canva canvas size to 9.5 × 8.25 inches (or 9.3 × 8.2 inches for tight seam taping).
How do I prevent ghosting at the top and bottom rims?
Ghosting happens when moisture steam escapes or pressure is uneven. 1) Cut your transfer paper flush with the top and bottom metal rim. 2) Pull your heat-resistant tape extremely tight horizontally around both rims so no air gaps exist. 3) If using a convection oven, use a heat shrink sleeve shrunk with a heat gun to apply 360° uniform pressure.
What temperature and time should I use in a convection oven vs tumbler press?
In a dedicated tumbler heat press: Press at 360°F (182°C) for 50 seconds, rotate the tumbler 180 degrees, and press for another 50 seconds. In a convection toaster oven with a shrink sleeve: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 6 minutes, rotating halfway through at the 3-minute mark.
Can I sublimate on normal ceramic mugs from Dollar Tree or Walmart?
No! Sublimation dye only bonds to polyester polymer coating. Normal store-bought ceramic mugs lack this coating, so the ink will simply wipe off. You must purchase sublimation-ready coated blanks from suppliers like JDS Industries, Coastal Business, or Amazon.
