When uploading artwork for engraving on stainless steel tumblers, it’s important to understand that engraving is not full-color printing—it’s a precision etching process that removes the coated layer to reveal the metal underneath.

Here’s what to expect:

Color becomes contrast – Any colors in your design will be converted into light vs. dark areas. The final result will typically be a silver/metallic finish against the tumbler’s coating.
Best results with simple, bold designs – Clean lines, solid shapes, and high contrast artwork engrave the sharpest. Thin lines, small text, and fine details may not show clearly.
No gradients or shading – Soft fades and shadows don’t translate well. Designs should be mostly black and white (vector-style) for the best outcome.
Transparent backgrounds required – Upload files with no background (PNG or SVG preferred) so only your design is engraved.
Design may be adjusted for fit – Logos may be resized or slightly modified to fit the engraving area and maintain clarity.

👉 Pro tip: If your design looks clean and readable in pure black and white, it will engrave cleanly on stainless steel.
