Sublimation tumblers and epoxy tumblers: what’s the difference?

Both can make a great gift, but they are made differently and wear differently in everyday life.

What sublimation does

Sublimation uses heat to infuse artwork into the finished surface of a tumbler. The result is a smooth, colorful design that is permanent and made to be used. The cups stay lightweight while keeping drinks hot or cold for hours.

Why it works for everyday gifts

For Lisa, the appeal is durability with personality. A vivid design can travel with you, hold up to daily use, and still feel like a personal little expression of humor, place, or memory.

Care for your tumbler

Hand wash and avoid the dishwasher, microwave, soaking, and abrasive cleaners. These simple steps help protect the insulation and the finished design.
