Stop Selling These 7 Sublimation Products in 2026

Thinking about selling sublimation mugs, tumblers, shirts, glass blanks, or other popular products in 2026?

A product can be popular and still be a poor choice for your sublimation business once you calculate competition, production time, packaging, shipping, breakage, wasted materials, and your real profit.

In this video, I break down 7 sublimation products I would be careful selling in 2026 and explain what I would consider doing instead.

You’ll learn why:

Generic sublimation mugs can be difficult to differentiate

20 oz tumblers face heavy competition

Sublimation shirts can create inventory and sizing problems

Cheap blanks aren’t always profitable

Fragile products can become expensive to ship

Too many production steps can destroy your hourly profit

Copying whatever everyone else sells is usually the wrong starting point

The biggest lesson?

Choose the customer first, then choose the sublimation product.

Before selling a new product, calculate:

✓ Material cost
✓ Production time
✓ Packaging and delivery cost
✓ Competition
