Nobody Wants Another Pen Set
A tumbler gets used. Every day. At the desk, in the car, on the job site. A well-printed logo on a product someone reaches for every morning is going to do more for your brand than a lanyard or a branded notepad that ends up in the bottom of a conference bag.
The issue is that "corporate drinkware" covers a lot of ground. A trade show giveaway has different requirements than a gift for a top client. Employee welcome kits are different from event favors. Pick the wrong product for the situation and you end up with a box of tumblers collecting dust in a supply closet.
Here's how we think about it — broken down by what you're actually trying to accomplish.
Before You Order: Four Things That Matter
Who's getting it. A giveaway for a trade show booth serves a different purpose than a gift for a client you've worked with for five years. Match the product to the relationship and what you're trying to say with it.
How it'll get used. Outdoor crew on a job site? Go heavy and functional — bigger is better. Office environment? A clean 20oz or 30oz tumbler works. Event where people are carrying a bag? Slim profile matters more than size.
Quantity and timeline. We don't have minimums — you can order 10 units the same way you'd order 500. For orders under 48 units a small less-than-minimum fee applies. Volume pricing starts at 48+. Standard turnaround is 7–10 business days from proof approval. Rush is available at +20%.
Print complexity. A clean single-color spot logo is straightforward. A full-color photo wrap is also available — UV direct handles it without any limitation. If your brand mark is detailed, UV direct printing is the right method. Ink directly on the surface, full CMYK, nothing sitting on top.
What to Order by Situation
Trade Show Giveaways
Best pick: 30oz Tumbler
The 30oz is the format people actually take home. Wide cylindrical body means the most print surface of anything we carry — your logo reads clearly at arm's length. It's what people grab every morning at their desk or on a job site, which means your brand is in front of them constantly.
For a giveaway, a full-color logo on a single-color tumbler hits the right balance. Go full-wrap if your artwork has a pattern or photographic element — the 30oz surface shows it better than anything else we carry.
Client Gifts
Best picks: 30oz Tumbler or Leatherette Tumbler
The 30oz is the biggest UV-printable format we carry — wide cylindrical body, full-color CMYK print, and a form factor people use every day. For something that reads more premium out of the box, the leatherette tumbler is a different category entirely. It's laser engraved directly into the material — the laser etches the surface, so the logo is part of the drinkware itself. No ink. No transfer. Just the artwork engraved into the leatherette. That feels expensive because it is.
For client gifts where you want full-color artwork, go 30oz UV. For something that reads as a genuine corporate gift, go leatherette.
Employee Welcome Kits
Best pick: 22oz Skinny Tumbler
The 22oz Skinny is the daily driver. Slim enough to fit in any bag. Sits clean on a desk. Holds a full commute worth of coffee. A clean logo on a brand-color tumbler in an onboarding kit reads as intentional — not something that came out of a box of generic promos.
We can accommodate variable data across a batch if you want to include the employee's name, team, or start date. Reach out to our B2B team for details on that.
Events (Conferences, Galas, Fundraisers)
Best picks: 12oz Wine Tumbler or 16oz Pint Tumbler
Smaller sizes travel better and feel appropriate for an event context. The 12oz wine tumbler is a strong call for evening events — it's functional in a way a pen isn't, and it has a clean cylindrical surface that prints well. The pint glass works for anything with a bar component.
Both are in our full drinkware lineup.
Client Retention / Appreciation Packages
Best pick: 30oz Tumbler
The 30oz is what people reach for every single day. UV printed, full CMYK, your logo and a short message — and you have something that's going to be on that client's desk or in their car for years. That's a long time for your brand to be visible.

FAQ
What's the minimum for a corporate order?
No minimum. We print from 1 unit. Orders under 48 units carry a $50 less-than-minimum fee. Volume pricing and setup fee waivers start at 48 units. For large orders, request a quote for accurate per-unit pricing.
Can I mix products in one order?
Yes — tumblers, mugs, and water bottles can all go on one order. Each product type is quoted and printed separately, but we coordinate production so everything ships together when possible.
Do you do custom packaging for gift sets?
We're a print shop, not a fulfillment house. We focus on the decoration and getting the print right. For custom kitting and packaging, reach out to our B2B team and we'll work through the logistics.
Can I order a sample before a large run?
Yes, and we recommend it. Sample orders are available at single-unit pricing. Order the exact product and color you're planning to use for the bulk run — that's the only way to confirm it looks right before you commit to quantity.
