Check a 20 oz template before printing

  1. Choose the unit and 20 oz cup type before accepting the preset dimensions.
  2. Set bleed or seam overlap based on how your artwork should close at the back seam.
  3. Compare the returned width and height with the actual cup circumference and printable body height.
  4. Copy or print the 20 oz spec for a test print, not as a final model-agnostic template.
  5. Wrap a paper proof around the blank and check top clearance, bottom clearance, and seam alignment.

20 oz skinny tumbler

Inputs

  • Bleed: 0.25 in
  • Unit: inches

Result

Top and bottom circumference can differ enough to make a rectangle twist.

20 oz type, bleed, and seam controls
