Logo for Tumbler Laser Engraving
Tumbler laser engraving uses a rotary attachment to spin cylindrical objects (Yeti, Stanley, RTIC, and other metal tumblers) under the laser beam. The rotary mechanism requires logo files prepared as a 360° wrap — the full circumference of the tumbler unwrapped flat into a rectangle.
About Logo for tumbler laser engraving
Custom tumbler laser engraving is a large and growing market for small businesses. The rotary attachment spins the tumbler while the laser engraves, requiring the artwork file to be sized to the tumbler's exact circumference.
Rotary tumbler SVG dimensions: - Artboard width = tumbler circumference. Formula: π × diameter. - Example — 20 oz skinny tumbler (diameter ≈ 2.75 in / 70 mm): circumference = π × 70 = 220 mm. - Artboard height = the intended engrave band height (typically 50–70 mm for a logo). - Create the SVG artboard at these exact dimensions before adding the logo.
Common tumbler circumferences: - Yeti Rambler 20 oz tumbler (86 mm diameter): circumference ≈ 270 mm - Stanley Quencher 40 oz (83 mm diameter): circumference ≈ 261 mm - RTIC 20 oz tumbler (80 mm diameter): circumference ≈ 251 mm - Brumate 12 oz (68 mm diameter): circumference ≈ 214 mm
File format for tumbler engraving: - SVG with stroke paths (outline engraving): clearest logo lines on coated stainless steel. - 500 DPI PNG: for photographic or shaded logo engrave on anodized aluminium.
