Customization and Logo Options That Hold Up
Most buyers start with a logo and then discover the substrate matters more than the artwork. On our stainless tumblers, the common methods are laser engraving, UV printing, and heat transfer, and each behaves differently on a powder-coated or brushed body.
- > Laser engraving: permanent, no ink to fade, works well on bare stainless and light coatings. Best for single-color marks and text.
- > UV printing: full color, good for multi-color logos and small detail, but needs a clean flat area.
- > Heat transfer and wraps: best for full-wrap designs and gradients, less suited to heavy daily abrasion.
We produce 12oz and 20oz bodies with double-wall vacuum insulation, so artwork sits on an outer wall that never sees condensation. Lids are splash-proof straw caps or standard press-fit, both dishwasher safe on the body. Send vector artwork (AI, EPS, PDF) and we return a mockup before tooling or printing starts. Minimum order for printed runs is 20 to 25 pieces depending on the model, so you can test a design before committing to volume.
Pricing, MOQ, and What Changes the Number
Our wholesale prices start at $1.65 per unit for both the 12oz and 20oz stainless steel vacuum tumblers. That is the base unit price for unprinted stock in standard colors.
- > 20oz double wall vacuum tumbler mug: $1.65, MOQ 25
- > 20oz travel tumbler with splash-proof lid: $1.65, MOQ 20
- > 12oz vacuum travel coffee mug with straw: $1.65, MOQ 20
- > 12oz modern double wall tumbler, custom print: $1.65, MOQ 20
What moves the price: print method and number of colors, custom color matching on the coating, individual gift boxes, and total quantity. A 500-piece order with one-color laser engraving is a different quote from a 20-piece sample run with full-color UV print. We quote per order rather than publishing a tier table, because freight and packaging often matter more than the unit cost at low volumes. Ask for a landed-cost estimate to your port or warehouse before you compare suppliers on unit price alone.
Practical Notes Before You Order
A few things buyers learn after the first shipment.
- > Confirm lid type in writing. Straw cap and press-fit splash-proof lids are not interchangeable for all customers.
- > Test one printed sample in a dishwasher before a large run. Coating and ink performance varies by method.
- > Check base diameter against car cup holders if the tumbler is sold for commuting.
- > Plan packaging early. Bulk cartons are cheapest; retail boxes add cost and lead time.
- > Ask for the actual carton dimensions and weight, not just unit weight, when calculating freight.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for custom printed tumblers?
MOQ is 20 to 25 pieces depending on the model, and all four current listings sit at $1.65 per unit before printing. Printed runs are quoted per order because the method and color count affect cost.
Which customization method should I choose for a logo?
Laser engraving is the most durable for single-color marks and text. UV printing gives you full color and finer detail. Heat transfer suits full-wrap designs. We send a mockup before production so you can judge the result first.
Can I mix 12oz and 20oz tumblers in one order?
Yes. Both sizes are stocked at $1.65 per unit, and we can combine them in one shipment to reduce freight cost. Tell us the split and destination, and we will quote the combined order.
