When to use this calculator
Calculates costs and selling prices for custom epoxy and glitter stainless steel tumblers.
Covers blank cup costs, epoxy resin volume across multiple coats, glitters, decals, turner electricity, sanding labor, and packaging.
How this calculator works
How epoxy tumbler pricing is calculated
- Epoxy cost = total epoxy ounces × epoxy cost per oz
- Materials = tumbler blank + epoxy + glitter & decals + (materials × waste %)
- Labor cost = total prep, pouring, and packaging hours × hourly labor rate
- Total cost = materials + labor + cup turner electricity + box/packaging
- Recommended price = total cost / (1 − target margin − platform fee %)
Example
Example: 20 oz custom glitter ombre epoxy tumbler
$7.50 blank tumbler, 2.5 oz epoxy ($3.00), $2.50 glitter/decals, 45 min total hands-on labor across 3 coats ($15.00), $0.50 electricity, $2.20 box & bubble wrap, 50% margin.
- Total production cost is $31.84.
- Recommended selling price is $73.20 after 6.5% marketplace fees.
- Profit per tumbler is $36.60.
How much should I charge?
Simple single-color glitter tumblers: $35–$45.
Intricate ombré, woodgrain, or hydro-dipped designs: $45–$65.
Complex sculpted, milky way, or multi-decal tumblers: $65–$90+.
Pricing tips
- Batch 3 to 6 tumblers simultaneously on multi-arm cup turners to slash labor time per unit.
- Always use FDA-compliant, food-safe epoxy intended for drinkware.
Common mistakes
- Forgetting that tumblers require 2 to 3 separate epoxy coats with 6–12 hour cure times between them.
- Not factoring in replacement mixing cups, nitrile gloves, stir sticks, and sandpaper.
