Stainless Steel Barrel Tumbler - Insulated Drinkware for All Occasions

Stainless Steel Barrel Tumbler - Insulated Drinkware for All Occasions

The Essentials: Application & Crafting Methods

• Best For: UV DTF wraps, laser engraving, vinyl and decals, and epoxy or glitter accents all work on this bare stainless surface.
• Application Note 1: The barrel's belly curves out wider than the neck, so a UV DTF wrap goes on best starting at the centre and smoothing outward toward each end, no heat press involved.
• Application Note 2: Before an epoxy or glitter build, run fine sandpaper over the surface first; nothing here comes pre-sanded, so that step is on you.

Product Details

A tumbler that just sits on a shelf between uses is still doing a job, and the Stainless Steel Barrel Tumbler earns its keep as a display piece as much as a daily drink. That curved, barrel-style body reads differently than a straight skinny tumbler on a market table, which is exactly why some sellers reach for it. It comes bare in 15oz or 25oz, stocked and shipped from Canada, ready for whatever finish you put on it.

If you want to see how the barrel compares to the rest of the lineup before you commit, the full stainless steel blanks range is worth a browse, since size and shape change the finished look more than most people expect. The barrel takes UV DTF wraps, laser engraving and vinyl equally well, and it holds up to an epoxy build too, provided you scuff it first. Two capacities mean you can match the size to the piece instead of forcing one tumbler to do every job.

Features:

• Capacity: 15oz or 25oz
• Material: Uncoated stainless steel
• Design: Barrel-style body, wider in the middle than at the neck, double-wall vacuum construction

Quick Q&A

Q: Can I use sublimation on this blank?
A: No, the Barrel Tumbler is bare stainless steel with no poly coating on it. It's built for UV DTF wraps, vinyl and decals, laser engraving, or an epoxy and glitter build instead.

Q: How do I size a UV DTF wrap for the curved barrel shape?
A: Measure the widest point at the belly and the narrowest point at the neck separately, then choose a wrap cut to the belly measurement and let the extra ease gather in at the neck. A straight-cut wrap sized for a skinny tumbler won't sit flat on this curve.
