As a result, our lives were threatened by many uncertainties brought by nature in turn. Now, as people gradually develop a consciousness of environmental protection, they start to buy things that are eco-friendly and sustainable. Compared with disposable and plastic containers, an insulated stainless steel tumbler is recycled, contains no harmful element such as BPA and polyethylene (a kind of plastic that is detrimental to both human body and wildlife), and is much more durable. The long service life due to its extreme durability indirectly reduces the consumption of raw material, contributing to promoting a sustainable lifestyle. However, for plastic products, it is often the case that they would be abandoned in landfills releasing harmful gases (such as greenhouse gases) to the environment.

Like other water containers (bottles/glowers/koozies), an insulated tumbler is also one of the essentials in people’s offices and houses. In other words, branded tumblers will exert subtle influence on customers unconsciously as they are using tumblers everyday. And when they encounter the same brand & logo in other places, they may excitedly say, “I got this logo/brand on my tumbler, too!” The so-called brand effect will in turn promote your own brand.
For companies around the world, customizing tumblers with company’s unique marks or logos before sending them to employees as special gifts is a good way to enhance cohesion and showcase the culture of the company.

In general, tumblers in the drinkware market can be divided into two types: the one made by stainless steel SUS304 (sometimes SUS316) and the one made by plastics. The former is suitable for holding both piping hot and icy cold drinks while the latter is designed for cold beverages like carbonated soft drinks, lemonade and chilling cocktails. In fact, plastic tumblers are not capable of retaining the heat inside of the tumblers and are thus not insulated tumblers.
An insulated tumbler is often made by stainless steel 18-8 (SUS304), a kind of food grade material that has been widely used in many industries and is eco-friendly. Insulated tumblers equipped with double-walled stainless steel are capable of keeping drinks warm for 4 hours or cold for up to 8 hours.
The big opening of an insulated tumbler offers convenience when it comes to drinking and cleaning, while it may also give you a face wash if used carelessly. Most of the lids of insulated tumblers are not leak-proof so you are not supposed to put them in the bag while on the go. Since insulated tumblers are also perfect for holding cold liquids, it is often the case that most of the tumblers have a straw, which can be made either by stainless steel or plastics. However, a stainless steel straw is better than a plastic one as the former will not impart odors to your favorite drinks and can present to you the authentic flavor of drinks.
Nowadays, insulated tumblers in bulk are designed into fashionable and slender shapes, and with benefits such as portability, versatility and durability, they are also adored by office men & ladies as well as outdoor sports enthusiasts.
Color plays a crucial role in promoting and selling goods. If the color you customize well matches your tumblers, it is believed that your tumblers will hit the market. Custom color can be realized through an array of surface treatments including spray painting, ceramic coating, powder coating, polish, glitter painting, electroplating and so on.
Different surface treatments will yield different functions and properties. For example, powder coating is often adopted to enhance the durability, anti-rust and anti-scratch performance of tumblers. And spray painting is used to make tumblers much more colorful and appealing.
Before choosing surface treatments to realize various appearance of colors on tumblers, you must pick up one or several colors. So how to choose colors? Is there a convenient way to find and determine the adoption of colors? In fact, a single color “Blue” may have hundreds of variants such as Azure Blue, Little Boy Blue and Cameo Blue. You can hardly tell the difference between two similar blues. And when this happens, you can turn to the Pantone Color Card.
You just have to tell your tumbler suppliers the code number of Pantone Color Card, which has been set and recognized by the entire line. If you do not know the exact number of the color, you should use Pantone’s Color Finder function to search for the color you want, which is not time-consuming yet is quite interesting!

Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Bottle Tumbler Manufacturing Process
Brief description: Stainless steel arrives at the factory in the form of pines and sheets –> Produce outer bottle and inner bottle –> Assembly and welding –> Vacuuming –> Decorating.
1.1 Pipe cutting: Cut raw material – stainless steel pipe – to the appropriate length.
1.2 Expansion
Link to H20PRIME
There are basically two different ways to make stainless steel into the shape of a bottle: water expansion and stretching.
Water Expansion: Stainless steel pipes are raw material for this method. First, stainless steel pipe is put on the water expansion machine. The pipe swells into a bottle shape under the huge pressure of the water. With this method, the bottle formed is with no bottom, so a round stainless steel plate will be welded onto it to form a complete bottle.
Stretch: Stainless steel sheets are raw material for this method. First, the stainless steel sheets are cut into round plates at appropriate size, and then we use a punch press to stretch the stainless steel plate into a cylinder with a bottom.
The outer bottle can be formed by any of these two methods. Water expansion is more popular.
1.3 Separating: If using water expansion process to form outer bottle, then separating process is a must.
1.4 Shaping: Use a large press and follow the “Bottle Shaping Guide” to ensure that the pits, size and shape of the outer bottle meet the requirements.
1.5 Necking: Use a machine to squeeze the upside of the bottle to be a bottle neck.
1.6 Thread Rolling/Making: Threads are made with a special threading machine. Ensure that the thread meets requirements.
1.7 Cleaning: Removes lubricating oil and dust during molding.
1.8 Inspection

2.2 Expansion. Water expansion or stretch. The inner bottle can be formed by any of these two methods. Water expansion is more popular.
2.3 Separating
2.4 Shaping
2.5 Necking
2.6 Thread Rolling/Making (Normally if outer bottle is designed with thread, there’s no thread on inner bottle)
2.7 Cleaning
2.8 Inspection
Assemble the inner bottle and the outer bottle together by pressing machine.
Assemble the bottom to the bottle by pressing machine.
Weld the inner bottle and outer bottle together to prepare for vacuum insulation. Ensure smoothness, no bumps or solder joints.
Weld the outer bottle and the bottle bottom to prepare for vacuum insulation. Ensure smoothness, no bumps or solder joints.
Check whether inner bottle and outer bottle were well welded.
Vacuuming with a vacuum machine.
Blow hot air into each bottle. If the outside of the bottle is kept cool, it means that the heat from the hot air will not be diverted and the bottle is vacuum insulated. On the contrary, if the bottle gets hot, there is a problem with vacuum insulation.
Through the interaction of current and electrolyte to improve the micro-geometry of the metal surface, reduce the surface roughness of the metal, so as to achieve the purpose of bright and smooth surface of the stainless steel bottle. Surface of inner bottle to be bright and even, no watermark, yellow dot.
Polish the surface of outer bottle to ensure it is smooth and bottle mouth is smooth and bright. There must be no obvious drawing, scratching, black wire and pits.
Clean the bottle and dry it. Make the bottle ready for external coating / decorating.
Blow hot air into each bottle. If the outside of the bottle is kept cool, it means that the heat from the hot air will not be diverted and the bottle is vacuum insulated. On the contrary, if the bottle gets hot, there is a problem with vacuum insulation.
The bottle is now ready for external coating –powder coating or spray painting. KingStar is capable of doing both spray printing and powder coating process.
Print the pattern design and logo on the bottle with various techniques – screen printing, thermal transfer printing, water transfer printing, laser etching and so on.
Blow hot air into each bottle. If the outside of the bottle is kept cool, it means that the heat from the hot air will not be diverted and the bottle is vacuum insulated. On the contrary, if the bottle gets hot, there is a problem with vacuum insulation.
