What is the minimum order quantity for custom tumblers, and is it firm per style or color?

MOQs vary by factory and complexity. A simple stainless steel tumbler run may start lower than a custom-mold collapsible silicone tumbler. The MOQ is set per style and per color, so a coffee tumbler in matte black and a glass tumbler in clear each count as separate lines. Your production team reviews the brief and returns the exact MOQ for every line before you commit.

How much does a tumbler sample cost, and how long does it take to receive one?

Sample cost depends on the material - a stainless steel insulated tumbler sample and a borosilicate glass tumbler sample will price differently - and on the decoration method (laser engraving, pad or screen print, UV printing). Your production team quotes the sample fee when they return your brief. Samples typically ship in 10-15 business days, separate from the production lead time that follows approval.

What is the production lead time once I approve my tumbler sample?

After sample sign-off, a typical run of custom insulated stainless steel tumblers with pad print decoration takes roughly 3-5 weeks depending on order size and factory capacity. Your production team tracks every milestone from spec lock to shipment so you always know where the drop stands.

Do you offer tiered pricing for tumblers at different quantities?

Yes. Pricing tiers exist at common break points - 25, 50, 100, 250, and 500 units - so unit cost decreases as volume increases. Submit a brief with your specs (material, decoration, packaging) and your production team returns a quote across every tier so you can choose the quantity that fits your budget and launch plan.

Can I create private label or white label tumblers with my own branding and packaging?

Absolutely. Private label and white label programs cover the full scope: custom logo engraving or printing on the tumbler body, branded lids, individual packaging (gift boxes, kraft sleeves, poly bags), hangtags, and barcode stickers. Each element can be bundled into one brief or quoted a la carte so you control the unboxing experience and cost.

Can I source specific tumbler materials through THE/STUDIO, or do I need to supply my own?

You can start from a simple brief - for example, 'double-wall insulated stainless steel, 20 oz, matte finish' - and your production team matches you with the right factory from the 1,500+ vetted manufacturers in the network. If you already have a detailed tech pack specifying ceramic wall thickness or borosilicate glass grade, the team sources to that exact spec. Either path works.

Can I mix sizes, colors, or styles within one tumbler order?

Yes, you can mix within one MOQ as long as each size-color-style combination meets its own per-line minimum. For example, one order could include 16 oz coffee tumblers in two colorways and 20 oz insulated tumblers in a third, all produced at the same factory under one production timeline.

What decoration methods are available for custom tumblers?

The decoration method depends on the material and the look you want. Laser engraving etches a permanent mark into stainless steel tumblers for a premium feel. Pad or screen print wraps full-color artwork around cylindrical surfaces like insulated or collapsible tumblers. UV printing lays down photographic-quality graphics on glass or ceramic tumblers. Your production team recommends the best fit when they review your brief.

From stainless steel tumblers to your most elaborate vision

A plain stainless steel tumbler with no decoration is straightforward manufacturing - clean lines, single-wall or double-wall construction, finished and shipped. A fully custom tumbler with laser engraving across curved surfaces, multi-zone pattern work, and precise depth control on every unit is the elaborate end, and it is what most brands actually brief our production team to develop.
