☕ Sublimated Tumblers, Cups & Drinkware
Best For: Full-color, permanent designs on stainless steel, ceramic, or polymer-coated surfaces.

Avoid Abrasive Scrubbers: Use a soft sponge or cloth to clean.
-
Not Microwave Safe (unless stated): Most sublimated drinkware contains metal or coatings that aren’t microwave-friendly.
