🎨 Sublimation Printing Explained

At Everything Unique Creations, we use high-quality sublimation printing to create vibrant, long-lasting designs on our tumblers.

❓ What is sublimation printing?

Sublimation is a printing method where heat is used to transfer ink directly into the surface of the tumbler. Instead of sitting on top like vinyl or stickers, the design becomes part of the material.

👉 This means:

• No peeling or cracking
• Smooth, professional finish
• Long-lasting, vibrant colours

⚙️ How does sublimation work?

The design is first printed onto special transfer paper using sublimation ink. The tumbler is then heated in a press, allowing the ink to turn into gas and bond permanently with the coated surface.

🎯 What can be printed?

You can customise your tumbler with:

• Names
• Photos
• Logos
• Quotes
• Custom artwork

Perfect for gifts, branding, or personal use.

🖼 Image & Artwork Quality

For the best printing results, high-quality images are required.

• Low-resolution or web images (e.g. screenshots, WhatsApp images) may result in blurry or pixelated prints
• Images taken from the internet are often compressed and not suitable for high-quality printing

👉 Don’t worry—we will check your artwork before printing and advise you if there are any issues.

If needed, we can recreate or enhance your design for the best possible result.
Design work may incur an additional cost depending on the complexity.
