Sublimation Tumbler Size Chart
Scan common wrap sizes for skinny tumblers, mugs, and custom blanks. Always measure your blank before printing.
What size is a sublimation tumbler wrap?
Straight 20 oz skinny tumbler wraps often start near 9.25-9.35 in wide by 8.10-8.30 in high. A 30 oz skinny tumbler often starts near 10.00-10.20 in wide by 9.20-9.40 in high. Use 40 oz handled cups only after measuring the front panel or split layout.
- Measure circumference and printable height before printing.
- Add bleed only after checking seam fit and printer scale.
- Use the custom wrap calculator when the blank is tapered or handled.
Common Sublimation Tumbler Sizes
Use these dimensions as practical starting points. Measure every tumbler or mug before printing because cups with the same ounce label can vary by brand.
| Product / blank type | Common size | Suggested wrap width | Suggested wrap height | Bleed recommendation | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 oz skinny tumbler | 20 oz | 9.25-9.35 in | 8.10-8.30 in | Add 0.10-0.25 in total bleed | Common starting point; measure circumference and body height. |
| 30 oz skinny tumbler | 30 oz | 10.00-10.20 in | 9.20-9.40 in | Add 0.10-0.25 in total bleed | Tall skinny blanks vary by supplier. |
| Straight tumbler | Straight blank | Measured circumference + overlap/bleed | Measured straight body height + bleed | Add 0.10-0.25 in after checking seam fit | Use a rectangle only when top and bottom circumference are effectively the same. |
| 16 oz tumbler | 16 oz | 8.50-9.10 in | 6.50-7.20 in | Add 0.10-0.25 in total bleed | Check lid taper and bottom curve before printing. |
| 12 oz kids tumbler | 12 oz | 8.00-8.60 in | 5.20-6.00 in | Add 0.10-0.20 in total bleed | Use smaller artwork and keep seam detail simple. |
| 16 oz glass can | Glass can | Often near 9.40-9.80 in | Often near 4.20-4.80 in | Use supplier template or measured paper test | Glass can blanks vary; keep this as a cautious starting range. |
| 11 oz mug | 11 oz | 8.50-8.75 in | 3.50-3.75 in | Add 0.10-0.20 in total bleed | Keep important art away from the handle gap. |
| 15 oz mug | 15 oz | 8.75-9.10 in | 4.00-4.35 in | Add 0.10-0.20 in total bleed | Mug press pressure and handle clearance matter. |
| 40 oz handled tumbler | 40 oz | Use measured panel | Use measured panel height | Add bleed after panel fit is confirmed | Handled cups usually need a front panel, split layout, or brand-specific template. |
| 20 oz tapered tumbler | 20 oz tapered | Use measured template | Use measured height | Add bleed after template shape is confirmed | Tapered blanks need a template, not only a rectangle. |
| Generic custom blank | Custom | Measured circumference + overlap/bleed | Printable height + bleed | Use your measured bleed value | If using the custom calculator, divide circumference by pi to enter diameter. |
Choose the row that matches the blank shape
- 20 oz skinny tumbler: start from the skinny range above, then compare with the dedicated 20 oz tumbler template size notes when you need a paper-test file.
- 30 oz skinny tumbler: use the taller skinny range, then measure because the same ounce label can have a different body height by supplier.
- 40 oz handled tumbler: measure the front panel, handle gap, and taper first; the 40 oz tumbler wrap size page explains why handled cups rarely use one full rectangle.
- Straight tumbler: a rectangle can work when top and bottom circumference match closely, but the final width still comes from your measured circumference plus overlap or bleed.
- Tapered tumbler: use a shaped template or measured split layout because the wrap may curve around the blank.
- Mug or glass can: leave handle clearance on mugs and use the supplier template or a conservative paper test for glass cans.
Use this chart for common starting sizes. Open the tumbler wrap size calculator when measured circumference, height, overlap, or taper should generate the final template, and use the template library for printable test files.
