Can I purchase the straight or 40-oz handled tumbler attachments separ

Introduction

So you've got a tumbler heat press, and you're loving the results. But there's a catch: you bought your machine to press standard straight tumblers, and now you're eyeing those trendy 40-oz handled tumblers everyone's carrying around. Or maybe it's the reverse—you started with the handle attachment, and now you want to expand into straight drinkware. Either way, you're facing the same question: Can I buy just the attachment I'm missing, or do I need a whole new setup?

The short answer is yes—with a few important details to know before you add to cart. In this guide, we'll break down exactly what's available for individual purchase, what's coming soon, and which bundle option might save you money if you plan to press both styles regularly.

1. What's Available for Individual Purchase Right Now?

As of now, the 40-oz handled tumbler heat plate is the only attachment available for individual purchase. If you already own a tumbler press that supports interchangeable heat plates and you want to start pressing those popular oversized handled tumblers, you can buy this attachment separately and swap it in.

This is great news if you initially bought your press for straight tumblers and later decided to expand into the handled market—which, given how popular 40-oz tumblers have become, is a smart move for small businesses and crafters selling at markets.

But what about the reverse scenario? If you bought the handled attachment first and now want to do standard straight tumblers, here's where things stand.

2. What's Coming Soon?

The straight tumbler attachment is not yet available for individual purchase, but it's on the way. If you're waiting for this specific piece, keep an eye on the product page—once it launches, you'll be able to complete your setup without buying a second machine.

In the meantime, if you need to press both styles right now, there's an alternative that might actually work out better financially.

That brings us to the most cost-effective option for anyone who wants to do both straight and handled tumblers.

3. The Smarter Way to Buy: Bundle Kits

If you're planning to press both straight and handled tumblers regularly, buying a bundle kit that includes both heat plate modules from the start is usually the better deal. HTVRONT offers three kits that come with both attachments:

Each of these kits includes both the straight and handled heat plate modules, so you're covered for any tumbler style from day one. The bundled pricing is also more cost-effective than buying the machine plus each attachment separately—especially when you factor in the additional tools and accessories that come with each kit.

Now that you know what's available, let's match the options to your specific situation.

4. Which Purchase Path Is Right for You?

Here's a quick guide to help you decide based on your current setup and goals:

You already have a tumbler press and only want to add handled tumblers.

→ Buy the 40-oz handled tumbler heat plate separately. This is the most straightforward path. You already have the machine and the straight attachment; a single purchase gets you into the handled tumbler market immediately.

You already have the handled attachment and want to add straight tumblers.

→ Wait for the straight tumbler attachment to launch, or consider a bundle if you're planning to scale up. If you need straight capability urgently, check whether any of the bundle kits make financial sense compared to waiting. If you can hold off, the standalone straight attachment will be the most cost-effective add-on once it's released.

You're buying your first tumbler press and want to do both styles.

→ Choose a bundle kit (Start-up, Beginner, or Pro). Starting with a kit that includes both heat plates is significantly cheaper than buying the machine and then adding a second attachment later. Pick the kit level based on your production volume and budget.

You're on a tight budget and can only afford one attachment right now.

→ Start with the 40-oz handled heat plate (available now) and add the straight attachment later. The handled tumbler market is booming, so prioritizing this attachment gives you immediate access to trending products. When the straight attachment launches, you can expand your offerings without replacing your machine.

5. Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy the straight tumbler attachment separately right now?

Not yet. The straight tumbler attachment is planned for individual sale and will be launching soon. If you need it urgently, consider one of the bundle kits (Start-up, Beginner, or Pro) which include both the straight and handled heat plates.

Where can I buy the 40-oz handled tumbler heat plate?

The 40-oz handled tumbler heat plate is available for individual purchase directly from the HTVRONT website. Navigate to the tumbler heat press accessories section, or search for "40-oz handle tumbler heat plate" to find the product page.

Are the bundle kits cheaper than buying attachments separately?

Yes. The Pro Kit, Beginner Kit, and Start-up Kit all include both heat plate modules plus additional accessories at a bundled price that's lower than purchasing the machine and each attachment individually. If you plan to press both straight and handled tumblers, a kit is almost always the better value.

Can I use the straight tumbler attachment that came with my bundle on any HTVRONT tumbler press?

Yes. The heat plate modules included in the bundle kits are the same attachments available for individual purchase. They're designed to be fully interchangeable with compatible HTVRONT tumbler heat press machines, so you can swap between straight and handled plates in seconds.

What if I only want to press 40-oz handled tumblers—do I still need a bundle?

No. If you're exclusively focused on handled tumblers, purchasing the machine and the 40-oz handled heat plate separately is perfectly fine. The bundles are designed for crafters who want to do both styles. If you're confident you'll only ever press handled tumblers, stick with the individual attachment purchase and save the extra cost.
