So I know there are a lot of tumbler makers out there, some good, some great, some need a lot more experience and practice. If you have gotten anything from me, tumbler, tshirt, hoodie, sign, jewelry, etc then you know I am an absolute perfectionist on my quality and production. I will loose money on a project before I give a customer an item that does not meet my personal high standards. You work hard for your money, and if you choose to spend it with me then rest assured I will work hard to earn it. That being said I will get to the main reason for this post. I see so many tumbler makers offering sub par work at or above standard market pricing. So I wanted to show you what to look for and be aware of when purchasing tumblers. These are not my work, and these are nothing I would ever sell as its just not good work. Missing images and colors around the edges and seams is called ghosting and its caused from not wrapping and sealing your print image on the tumbler correctly, the solid white line at the top and bottom is not completely wrapping the cup correctly to avoid the extra work to avoid ghosting, and big overlapped seams causing a large color displacement is not cutting print to correct size, and dull colors, blurry words or images not wrapping the print tight enough for the heat transfer process. There are a lot of different ways to end up with great results, and everyone has their own way of achieving them. But please, whomever you shop with, please do not accept low quality work. You deserve the best, its handmade and will never be 100% perfect, but items like the ones below are not good enough to be sold and definitely not at full price.
