40 Ounce Sublimation Stanley Mug with FREE Templates!
Learn how to make a 40 oz tumbler with sublimation using free templates at the end of the post.
I love the cuteness of the 20 ounce tumblers, but 40 ounce is where it's at.
This sublimation mug is perfect for a custom gift that will definitely get used--I would have loved this as a little girl!
When it comes to drink containers, I want the biggest possible so I can drink my daily amount of water and not refill it all the time.
I looked all over, trying to find a free template and I couldn't find anything great.
I decided to just make my own open concept template, you can add your own sublimation design on it in photoshop or canva.
This template is made for printing on an 8.5x11 standard sheet of sublimation paper.
If you have a bigger printer, you can print 12 inches wide for the upper part of the tumbler!

Supplies Needed for 40 Ounce Sublimation Tumbler:
- Sublimation Stanley Mug (40 oz sublimation tumbler comes with plastic straw)
- Sublimation Oven
- Epson Ecotank Printer Converted to Sublimation (craft gold gold!)
- Sublimation Paper
- Heat Gun
- Shrink Plastic
- Heat Resistant Tape
- Heat Resistant Tape Dispenser (optional but super nice)
- Mug Templates (end of post)
- Design (I bought these loose watercolor hibiscus off Etsy for $2)
Step 1: Design
Begin by downloading the FREE PNG template files for the 40 ounce mug.
All sublimation blanks are a bit different, so if you aren't buying this exact one from Heat Transfer Warehouse, it might not be the right size, so be sure to measure it for full wrap designs.
Also, if you have a Sawgrass printer that can print 11x17, then you can scale the top template up to 12 inches across instead of just 11 inches across.
This template is made for regular 8.5x11 printers. (For best results print the image twice on the same paper, to make the image more vivid and high quality color sublimation transfer.)
Use a program like photoshop (pixlr is free) or a popular choice is Canva to design your tumbler wrap for the perfect fit.
I use photoshop from the olden days because we bought it and I'm very familiar with it.
Overlay the digital files or images you like over the template as a guide, overlap and lay them out the way you like it.
Then select the outside of the template and remove anything outside the guide line.
Then remove the template, reverse your image and print your design.
Step 2: Tape and Heat
Use the 40 oz sublimation blank, order number: WB-WB40OZ-Black from Heat Transfer Warehouse.
Use a lint roller to remove any dust or debris before taping.
Cover the mug in shrink plastic.
I didn't have a sleeve big enough for the top part of the mug...so I cut mine down the side and taped it on the mug and shrunk it around the mug as best as I could...and it worked!
Then plug in the Sublimation oven and set it to 365*F and 9 minutes, place the shrink wrapped mug inside.
The oven will get to temperature and then begin the countdown.
After printing, cut around the design loosely and use heat resistant tape to adhere it to the white sublimation tumbler blank.
After the heating process, remove from the oven and let the sublimation mug cool down completely.
The double wall 40 oz travel tumblers are perfect for handmade gifts with custom full wrap designs for everyone on your gift giving list.
Step 3: Reveal
Then it's super easy to remove the shrink plastic, heat resistant tape and the sublimation paper to reveal the mug design.
I love how amazing the sublimation transfers look!
When printing with a sublimation printer, the ink comes out looking like different colors and pretty dull and muted.
It surprises me every single time I heat press to see how vibrant and wonderful the colors actually look on the blank!
I love sublimation!
Heat Transfer Warehouse has everything you need for sublimation crafting.
They have an awesome stash of sublimation blanks at great prices and all the printers, heat presses and other things you need to get started.
Check out my landing page at Heat Transfer Warehouse and see the things I like!
Step 4: Handle
Now use a screwdriver to screw the handle on the mug. (The optional handle removal is super nice when sublimating on tumblers)
It was a bit tricky to get that inside screw, but I managed to after some fidgeting.
Oh, make sure the mug is installed so the screw does not show from the top or looking down on the lid...you want it to be underneath.
These Stanley dupe mugs are the best.
The size is awesome, they still fit in the car drink holder because of the narrower base, but they can hold a lot of drink.
The lid screws on top, to prevent leaking and pop offs.
The black cover on the lid moves around to cover the sip opening...or allows for a straw to be placed through.
I love how this 40 ounce sublimation mug turned out.
It's easy to use and customize too!
These make a great handmade gift for any and all occasions.
This is a tumbler anyone would absolutely love!
