Logo and Customization Options for Bulk Tumblers
Most buyers ask what can actually be printed or engraved before they commit to a bulk run. On our 12oz and 20oz stainless steel tumblers, we offer laser engraving, silk screen printing, and heat transfer. Laser engraving works well on brushed stainless and gives a permanent silver-on-steel mark. Screen printing suits one to three spot colors and is the cheaper route at higher volumes.
- > Laser engraving: best for logos with fine lines, no color limit issue
- > Silk screen: 1-3 colors, lowest unit cost above 500 pcs
- > Heat transfer: full-color artwork, needs a film setup
Artwork should be vector (AI, EPS, PDF) with clear PMS references if color matters. We send a digital mockup before production and can produce a physical sample on request. Sample cost and freight are quoted separately, and sample time is usually 5-7 days.
Pricing and MOQ: What Bulk Actually Costs
Our listed unit price for the 20oz double wall vacuum tumbler mug is $1.65 at an MOQ of 25 pieces. The 20oz travel tumbler with splash-proof lid is also $1.65 at MOQ 20. The 12oz vacuum insulated tumbler with straw and the 12oz modern travel tumbler both sit at $1.65 with MOQ 20.
Those prices are for blank stock in standard colors. Logo work adds a setup charge and a per-unit print cost that depends on method and quantity. Realistically, the per-unit logo cost drops sharply once you pass 500-1000 pieces, because setup is spread across more units.
- > Blank, no logo: $1.65 per unit, MOQ 20-25
- > Small logo run: setup plus per-unit print, ask for a quote
- > Larger runs: lower per-unit print cost, same base price
We quote FOB Ningbo or Hangzhou. Freight and duties are the buyer's account unless agreed otherwise.
Practical Buying Notes Before You Order
A few things buyers learn the hard way. First, confirm lid type. The 20oz travel tumbler uses a splash-proof lid, while the 12oz versions ship with a straw cap. If your market expects a sliding lid, say so before production, not after.
Second, check dishwasher claims against your channel. We list the 12oz tumblers as dishwasher safe, but printed logos last longer with hand washing regardless of what the spec sheet says. Tell your customers that.
Third, insulation claims. The 20oz travel tumbler is rated 6-12 hours thermal insulation. That is realistic for a vacuum double wall, but it assumes a preheated or prechilled body and a closed lid.
- > Confirm lid and straw configuration in writing
- > Ask for a physical sample before a large logo run
- > Plan 15-25 days production after artwork approval

Frequently asked questions
What is the MOQ for custom tumblers with logo?
Our listed MOQ is 20-25 pieces for blank tumblers, depending on the model. For logo work, most factories prefer 100 pieces or more to justify setup, so ask us for a quote at your target quantity.
Can you print my logo in full color?
Yes, through heat transfer or UV printing, though laser engraving and silk screen are more common for tumblers. Send vector artwork and we will confirm the best method and cost for your quantity.
How long does a bulk logo order take?
Sample and mockup approval usually takes about a week, then production runs 15-25 days after artwork sign-off. Freight time depends on your destination and shipping method.
