Printing sublimation tumbler wraps is a delightful process that lets you create vibrant and custom designs. Here's a brief guide to help you through the steps:
- Design Creation:
- Begin by creating or selecting a design you want to use for your wrap. Make sure it measures to fit your specific tumbler dimensions.
- You can use design tools like those available with Creative Fabrica's Studio, that provide a range of customizable templates and graphic elements.
2. Materials Needed:
- Sublimation paper
- Sublimation ink
- Heat Resistant Tape
- Heat press machine for tumbler
- Precision trimming tools or scissors
3. Print Your Design:
- Mirror your design in the software you’re using, as sublimation prints need to be backward.
- Use a sublimation printer to print the design onto sublimation paper with sublimation ink.
4. Prepare the Tumbler:
- Clean your tumbler thoroughly to ensure the surface is free from dust or oils.
- Wrap your printed design around the tumbler, securing tight and smooth it using heat-resistant tape to avoid shifting during the press.
5. Heat Press Setting:
- Preheat your tumbler heat press to the temperature and time setting advised by your ink and paper manufacturers (generally, around 380°F for 6 minutes works, but these can vary).
- Carefully place the tumbler into the press to ensure even distribution of heat and pressure around the tumbler uniformly.
6. Sublimation Process:
- Once the press gets up to temperature, secure the tumbler within it and begin the timer.
- After the designated time, carefully remove the tumbler and allow it to cool before unwrapping the sublimation paper.
7. Inspect and Finish:
- Check your tumbler to ensure the design is transferred properly without fading or distortions.
- If all looks well, you have a beautifully created sublimation tumbler wrap!
Voilà! Your custom tumbler is adorned with its new design, leaving you one sip closer to crafting wonder! 😊 Remember, it’s known for its vibrant, full-colored finish that’s great for personalized gifts or improving your creative inventory.
