For tumbler & sublimation makers

The blank is the start of the story.

Your inventory starts with blanks — cases of 20-oz skinnies, tees, and mugs — and becomes product through sublimation, HTV by the roll-foot, and epoxy coats that cure for days on the turner. The blank's cost is the floor; everything after is where your margin lives. MadeKeeper tracks both halves, cure time included.

The app is live. Free during the pilot. Founding rate $19/mo, locked for life.

No card to start. Use it free through the pilot, and lock the $19/mo founding rate for as long as you stay.

How MadeKeeper maps to your press and turner

Blanks by the case, costed eachA case of skinny tumblers logs once; each build pulls a blank at its true cost. Same for tees, mugs, and sign blanks — the SKU base of everything you make.
HTV and sublimation supplies by useVinyl by the roll-foot, sublimation paper and ink per print, butcher paper and tape in the batch — small costs that log where they're spent.
Epoxy cures on the booksTwo coats, days on the turner between them — a tumbler mid-cure is made but not sellable, and MadeKeeper counts it that way, so promised turnaround stays honest.
Bulk orders and school seasonA 40-tumbler team order runs at different pricing than one-off customs. Channels and per-order costing keep bulk margin visible before you say yes.

One tumbler, to the penny

Say you build a 20-oz glitter tumbler:

  • 20-oz skinny blank$5.40
  • Sublimation print and supplies$0.85
  • 1 oz mixed epoxy$1.10
  • Glitter$0.45
True cost of the tumbler$7.80

At $35 you keep $27.20 before fees — and when a 40-piece bulk order asks for $22 each, you'll know in one glance what saying yes pays per tumbler and per hour on the turner.

On school and team designs: mascots and marks belong to their programs. MadeKeeper keeps your order records clean — what you made, for whom, when; what's licensed to cut stays your call.

Straight about what's live

Materials and true cost per piece, products (in bulk or one-of-a-kind), sales that drain stock, the was-this-fair-worth-it event math, mileage, expenses, and the year-end tax packet — all in the app today. Etsy and Square sync, your own storefront, a booth card reader, and shipping labels are building, shaped with founding makers. Nothing above describes a feature that doesn't exist without saying so.

Questions tumbler and sublimation makers ask

How do cure times work in MadeKeeper?

A piece mid-cure counts as made but not sellable — so your stock numbers match what's actually ready to ship, and epoxy days stop surprising your turnaround promises.

Can I track blanks from different suppliers?

Yes — each case logs at its own per-blank cost. When the cheap supplier is out and the backup costs $1.20 more, your margins update instead of quietly shrinking.

Does it help with bulk order pricing?

Cost one unit honestly and the bulk math is just multiplication — materials, press time, and turner days against the quoted price. You'll know the job's real margin before you commit the week.
