Sublimation Tumblers – FAQs
What are the most important factors for sublimation tumblers?
Successful sublimation depends on three key factors: temperature, time, and pressure. Even heat, proper dwell time, and consistent pressure help ensure clean transfers and vibrant results. Using high-quality sublimation-ready tumblers with a reliable coating is just as important as the settings themselves.
What temperature and time are recommended for sublimation tumblers?
Most sublimation tumblers perform best between 360°F–400°F (182°C–204°C).
Typical press times range from 45–70 seconds per press or 6–8 minutes in a convection oven, depending on equipment, tumbler thickness, and coating consistency. Testing before full production runs is always recommended.
Is a tumbler press or an oven better for sublimation tumblers?
For most businesses, a tumbler press is the preferred option for sublimation tumblers.
A tumbler press applies firm, even pressure and delivers consistent heat across the entire surface, which helps produce cleaner transfers and more reliable results—especially for full-wrap designs and repeat production.
Convection ovens rely on a single heat source and circulating air, which can work but often requires rotation, careful timing, and additional monitoring to avoid uneven results.
For consistent quality and efficiency, we recommend starting with a tumbler press, particularly for wholesale and repeat orders. Ovens are typically better suited for experienced users or specific production setups.
