Customization and Logo Options
Most stainless steel tumblers accept several decoration methods, and the right one depends on your artwork and volume.
- > Laser engraving: permanent, single-color, best for logos with fine lines. Works well on 20oz vacuum tumblers.
- > Silk screen printing: lower cost at higher volumes, 1-3 colors, good for bold logos.
- > UV printing: full-color, photographic detail, suited to retail gift sets.
- > Heat transfer: wraps and gradients, common on 12oz coffee tumblers.
We produce the 20oz Double Wall Stainless Steel Vacuum Tumbler Mug (MOQ 25, $1.65) and a 12oz stainless steel tumbler with custom printed straw (MOQ 20, $1.65). Send vector artwork (AI, PDF, or EPS). We return a digital mockup before production. Powder-coat colors are also available, so you can match brand colors rather than settle for stock white or silver.
Pricing and MOQ: What to Expect
Published prices are starting points, not final quotes. Our 20oz vacuum tumblers start at $1.65 with an MOQ of 25 pieces. The 12oz insulated travel mug with straw cap starts at $1.65 with an MOQ of 20 pieces. These are ex-works unit prices for stock colors and simple decoration.
Costs rise with complexity:
- > Multi-color UV or heat transfer printing adds per-unit cost.
- > Custom molds or new lid designs require tooling fees and higher volume.
- > Gift boxes, hang tags, and retail packaging are quoted separately.
Freight, duties, and payment fees are not included. For orders above 5,000 pieces, ask for a volume quote. We accept T/T and Alibaba Trade Assurance. Confirm your target retail price first, then work backward to a landed cost you can live with.
Buyer-Practical: Sampling and Lead Times
Before committing to a bulk order, request a pre-production sample. We can ship a stock sample quickly, or a decorated sample once artwork is approved. Sample costs are usually credited against the bulk order.
Lead times depend on quantity and decoration:
- > Stock, undecorated: roughly 7-15 days after deposit.
- > Decorated orders: 15-25 days, longer during Q4.
- > Sea freight to the US or EU: add 25-40 days port to port.
Check practical details early: the 20oz and 12oz tumblers are vacuum insulated, keep drinks hot or cold 6-12 hours, and are dishwasher safe. Confirm lid style, straw inclusion, and whether you need splash-proof or sliding lids. Ask for a carton dimension and gross weight sheet so your freight forwarder can quote accurately.
