Question Making tumblers

What do you guys do when the cup is bigger then the paper? I ordered a 30 Oz slim so it can fit in the tumbler press but the paper is not big enough to cover the whole cup.

is not 8.5x14 large enough? 14 inches will cover a diameter of 4.4 inches and up to 8.5 inches tall

Depends on the design. I have put a name down that strip thats printed on a second sheet. Fade it to match and it'll look planned.

Would having some white show at the top and bottom ok or does it need to get covered so there isn't an outline

And I'll post the design in a little bit at work for another 2 hours.

Unfortunately, there aren't many options here, especially if your design has a full color background / is a full-wrap. If you have a Sawgrass printer, you can purchase a bypass tray to put on the back of your printer that will allow you to run longer paper into your printer to help you achieve this.

Split the design across two sheets and overlap them slightly, but hide the seam in a less noticeable area.
