How to Resize and Print Tumbler Wraps Perfectly Every Time
If you love decorating tumblers, you know that getting the wrap size just right can make or break your design. Whether you're using sublimation, vinyl, or waterproof stickers, properly resizing and printing your tumbler wraps is essential for a polished, professional look.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to resize and print tumbler wraps perfectly, every time—even if you're a complete beginner.
1. Know Your Tumbler Size
Before you even open a design, you need to know the exact dimensions of your tumbler. Common tumbler sizes include:
- 20 oz skinny tumbler: 9.3" x 8.2"
- 30 oz skinny tumbler: 10.3" x 9.5"
- 16 oz glass can: 9.45" x 4.3"
Tip: Use a flexible measuring tape to double-check the height and circumference of your tumbler.
2. Choose the Right File Format
Make sure your wrap file is in a high-resolution PNG, JPG, or SVG format. If you’re using a free tumbler wrap from our site, you’re already set! SVG files are best for vinyl cutting, while PNGs are ideal for printing sublimation or waterslide transfers.

4. Use the Right Printer Settings
To avoid blurry or dull prints:
- Printer: Use a sublimation printer (like Epson EcoTank converted for sublimation) for sublimation wraps. For stickers or vinyl, a regular inkjet printer with high-quality ink will work.
- Paper: Use sublimation paper or high-quality printable vinyl.
- Settings: Set print quality to "Best" or "High", and turn off scaling or "fit to page."
5. Print a Test Page First
Before using specialty paper, print a test on plain paper and wrap it around your tumbler to check:
- Alignment
- Size accuracy
- Design positioning
Make any necessary tweaks, then do your final print.
6. Apply With Care
Once your wrap is printed and cut:
- For sublimation: Tape it securely and use a heat press or oven.
- For vinyl: Use transfer tape, smoothing from the center out.
- For stickers: Peel and apply slowly, smoothing bubbles as you go.
