Tumbler Engraving FAQs

Whether you're looking to showcase your business logo on a set of tumblers or add a personal touch to a flask as an engraved gift, these FAQs will walk you through some common question to ensure your design is engraved to perfection.

What exactly is tumbler laser engraving?

Tumbler laser engraving is a precise process of etching designs onto the surface of a tumbler by removing the top layer of paint, revealing the sleek, aluminum material beneath. When you supply a black and white image, such as a logo, the black part of the image will be engraved away, creating a negative as it reveals the aluminum below.

What customization options are available for tumbler engraving?

• Text Engraving: Personalize with names, messages, or quotes in your font of choice.
• Logo or Graphic Engraving: Make your mark with crisp imagery representing your business or personal style.
• Custom Design Engraving: Our team can engrave intricate custom designs. Let your creativity lead the way!

What file format should I use for submitting my tumbler engraving?

PDF format is preferred due to its ability to retain quality across different platforms, but we also can use EPS and SVGs. Ensure your files meet our size and resolution requirements for the best results (usually 3" wide on most tumblers), and that all fonts are outlined.

What type of images or graphics can be engraved on a tumbler?

Submit your design as a sharp, high-resolution (300 dpi at least). Vector format is the best format. Please make sure they are in a solid black and white format with no greyscale. Halftone patterns can be utilized to achieve gradients.

Design Considerations: For laser engraving, contrast is key. High-contrast, black and white images yield the crispest engravings.

How long does it take to complete the engraving process?

The standard turnaround time for our engraving process is dependent on the order volume and complexity of the design. Ingle tumbler orders can be done in 24 hours or same day if ordered before 11am. Rush orders can be accommodated for an additional fee per item.
