Mug & Drinkware Sublimation Cut Wrap Sheets
Precision pre-slit 8.5″ × 3.5″ and 9″ × 4″ sublimation transfer wraps tailored specifically for 11oz and 15oz ceramic mugs, stainless travel tumblers, and water bottles. Eliminates tedious hand measuring and trimming.
Printing promotional coffee mugs or corporate gift drinkware in volume often bogs down when operators must spend hours manually cutting strips from large paper sheets. Mug & Drinkware Cut Wrap Sheets arrive pre-slit to the exact outer circumference and height of 11oz and 15oz mugs, so operators simply wrap, tape, and press.
In-Depth Service Overview & Production Methodology
Our high thermal-tack paper features a micro-tacky backing that slightly grips the glossy ceramic surface when heated, preventing paper flutter and ghost shadows along the top and bottom rims.
High-resolution photographic RIP profiling ensures skin tones are smooth and natural, gradients are seamless, and corporate brand colors match your client's exact Pantone specifications.
