16oz Libbey Tumbler Frosted with Bamboo Lid Glass Sublimation Blank [Carton of 36]

♨️ How to sublimate a 16oz Libby Can Frosted

📋 Materials Needed

• Sublimation printer and sublimation ink
• Sublimation paper
• Heat-resistant tape
• Mug/Tumbler Press or Oven
• 16oz Libby Can Frosted (Substrate)
• Oven: Heat Shrink




• Mug or Tumbler Press: Heating Element to suit




• Heat gun or hair dryer if using heat shrink

📝 Preparation

1. For templates, Mock-ups and image size required, please refer to the Design tab.
2. Print your design, mirror your image.
3. Clean the substrate printing surface using a microfiber cloth or lint brush to remove dust, oils or lint. (As per substrate)
4. Place the printed image face up and align the subatrate to the centre of the print.
5. Secure the edges using heat-resistant tape to prevent movement.

🛠️ Mug/Tumbler Heat Press Pressing

1. If this is your first press of the this size substrate or you have changed inserts, make sure you do a pre-check before heated to make sure the pressure is correct. You should think that the substrate is nearly going to break as the correct pressure.
2. Heat the press to required temperature.
3. Position the substrate inside the element.
4. Press at listed Heat Press Settings Above.
5. Rotate and press again at the heat press settings listed.
6. Remove carefully from press after timer has finished. (Caution: Will be extremely hot.)

🛠️ Oven/Air Frier Baking

1. Heat the oven to required temperature.
2. Apply heat shrink and heat or apply silicone clamp.
3. Place substrate/s in the oven.
4. Position the substrate inside the oven.
5. Bake at listed Heat Press Settings Above.
6. In some air fryers, you may need to rotate half way through baking due to insufficient air flow.
7. Remove carefully from oven after timer has finished. (Caution: Will be extremely hot.)

❄️ Cooling and Assembly

1. Carefully remove the substrate from the press (it will be hot).
2. Peel off the sublimation paper while the substrate is warm for best results.
3. Allow the substrate to cool completely.
4. Attach lid.




5. Wrap in protective plastic cover and place into packaging.

✅ Tips for Best Results

• Ensure full edge-to-edge coverage in your design to avoid white borders (ensure bleed is sufficient).
• If colours look dull, increase time by 5 seconds or pressure slightly.
• If the coating looks yellowed, your temperature is too high or time too long.
• Store substrate in a clean, dry, dust-free area before printing.
• When taping the seam, tape with high pressure applied to the print ensuring tightness.




• Do not press with lid or base attached.




• Trim heat shrink to not have too much excess overhanging, it is hard to remove.
