Difference Between Sublimation Tumblers and Epoxy Tumblers

Difference Between Sublimation Tumblers and Epoxy Tumblers

People often ask me, 'What's the difference between epoxy tumblers and sublimation tumblers?' Let me break it down for you.

Epoxy Tumblers: Gorgeous, customizable, and full of creative possibilities, these tumblers steal the spotlight—but require careful handling. Think of them as the glass slippers of the tumbler world: delicate and prone to cracking if dropped. They aren't dishwasher, soaking, or freezer-friendly. Perfect for decorative designs that wow.

Sublimation Tumblers: Durable, lightweight, and made to withstand the chaos of everyday life. These tumblers can handle soaking, freezing, and even the occasional tumble—though I recommend skipping the dishwasher for maximum design longevity. The sublimation process locks in vibrant, peel-proof designs that are permanent and fade-resistant.

The takeaway? Sublimation tumblers are built for daily use, while epoxy tumblers are ideal for showcasing your artistic flair. I specialize in sublimation tumblers, but if you're after epoxy, I can connect you with someone who creates them beautifully.
