Not sure what size your tumbler design should be? Use our free tumbler size calculator to work out a suitable canvas size for sublimation, vinyl and Cricut projects.
Simply measure the circumference and printable height of your tumbler, enter the measurements below, and the calculator will give you the recommended design size in inches or centimetres, along with handy 300 DPI pixel dimensions for PNG and sublimation projects.
1 Choose Your Project
Choose Full Wrap if your design will cover most or all of the printable area around a straight-sided tumbler.
Choose Front Decal if you are adding a logo, quote, name or smaller design to the front of your tumbler.
2 Measure Your Tumbler
For a straight-sided tumbler, you only need two measurements:
Circumference: Measure all the way around the tumbler.
Printable height: Measure only the area you want to decorate, excluding the rim and base.

Your Recommended Full Wrap Canvas
Physical size:
9.50 in × 8.25 in
At 300 DPI:
2850 × 2475 pixels
Suggested physical size:
Width: 3.24–4.16 in
Height: 4.00–5.60 in
At 300 DPI:
Smaller end:
972 × 1200 pixels
Larger end:
1248 × 1680 pixels
Start towards the smaller end for a subtle design or move towards the larger end for a bold front decal.
These measurements are intended as practical starting points. Always check the design against your actual tumbler before cutting or printing.
4 Create Your Design
Use your calculated full-wrap dimensions as the canvas size in Cricut Design Space, Canva, Photoshop or your preferred design software.
Keep important text and artwork away from the edges.
If you’re working with a PNG for sublimation, the 300 DPI dimensions are particularly useful.
A front decal does not need to fill the entire printable area. The calculator gives you a useful starting range based on the circumference and height of your tumbler.
If you’re using an SVG for vinyl, use the physical dimensions. If you’re using a PNG for sublimation, use the 300 DPI pixel dimensions as your starting canvas size.
