Bulk Branded Tumblers
Logo-engraved tumblers are the corporate workhorse of a laser business. One 50-piece order for a company outperforms fifty individual retail sales in both revenue and time-per-dollar, and it repeats every year.
B2B orders are high-quantity, low-design-churn (one logo, many units), and margin-rich. Landing two or three recurring corporate accounts stabilizes a whole season.

How to make it
- 1Confirm the tumbler is laser-engravable stainless — powder-coated tumblers engrave to a bright silver mark under the coat.
- 2Get the logo as clean vector art; rasterize only if you must.
- 3Build a jig so every tumbler seats in the exact same spot — consistency is everything at volume.
- 4Use a rotary attachment for wrap-around logos; a flat area can go direct.
- 5Run one, approve it with the client, then batch the rest against the jig.

What tumblers can be laser engraved?+
Stainless-steel tumblers, especially powder-coated ones, engrave cleanly — the coat lifts to a bright silver logo. Plastic and fully clear tumblers are not good candidates.
How do I price a bulk corporate tumbler order?+
Quote per-unit with quantity breaks ($18–$28 low volume, $14–$18 at 50+) and add a one-time art-setup fee. A jig keeps per-unit time low so margins hold at volume.
