Stop what you're doing!
Never wait for epoxy to dry again!
Throw out all your cup turners (Haha - we're kidding but read about why everyone is switching to sublimation!)
Sublimatable tumblers are made with a special coating that allows them to be customized using the sublimation printing process. Sublimation printing is a process where heat and pressure are used to transfer ink onto the coating of the tumbler. This results in a permanent image that won't peel or fade over time. Did we mention it only takes a few seconds? WOO HOO!
Sublimatable tumblers are very easy to customize because the sublimation process is straightforward and doesn't require any special skills or training. LITERALLY ANYONE CAN SUBLIMATE WITH THE RIGHT TOOLS! To customize a sublimatable tumbler, you will need a sublimation printer, sublimation paper, heat-resistant tape, a heat press, and a sublimatable tumbler.
The first step is to create a design using graphic design software such as Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator. Or you can buy a design online. Once you have your design, you print it onto sublimation paper using a sublimation printer. Then, you wrap the paper around the tumbler and secure it in place with heat-resistant tape.
Next, you place the tumbler in a heat press and apply heat and pressure for a specified amount of time. The heat causes the ink on the paper to turn into a gas, which then bonds with the coating on the tumbler. Once the process is complete, you remove the paper and tape to reveal a vibrant and permanent image on the tumbler.
Overall, sublimatable tumblers are easy to customize because the sublimation process is simple and doesn't require any special skills or training. This makes them a popular choice for crafters, small and large businesses and individuals who want to create customized drinkware with ease in a short time.

I just started sublimation. I love it. The designs are endless and the colors are just fantastic.
I love sublimation. I do it as a hobby and not as a job. I don’t charge anyone for anything I make. I mostly make it for my family and special friends. Usually its personalized stuff of people that they love. Here recently I have been able to make memorial gifts for close friends and family members. They loved them. Its the only thing I could think of doing in such a time of grief instead of just sending flowers. I made a sublimated tumbler for a dear friend who lost her daughter. She loved it and it was very appreciated. Sublimation gives us the ability to take very personalized pictures and place them on a wide range of items. Its something that you cannot get anywhere else.
I have bought sublimation, wine gift sets, stainless steel, glow in the dark as well as speaker tumblers and I love them all!! I love all there products and the fast delivery. I really appreciate all the flash sales while you guys are helping crafters save money while stocking up on supplies of great quality.
My favorite part of sublimation is when I get to peel the tape back and look at the Clear Stainless Steel are my new favorite. Nothings wrong with the white ones don’t get me wrong. Just the clear ones are just over the top for me anyway….But I Love all the Hogg tumblers I have purchased.
The ability to have a quality product in less than an hour is a massive bonus. These tumblers are also at a lower price point so they add flexibility to my shop.
