making Tervis Tumblers virtually indestructible!

float too! Enjoy your tumblers by the pool or on the patio, at the
beach or on the boat and from golf hole #1 to golf hole #19! With our
selection of travel lids and toppers, Tervis Tumblers are perfect for
on-the-go.

Can I
wash my Tervis Tumblers in the dishwasher? Can I use them in the
microwave? How about the freezer?
Tervis
Tumblers are safe for use in the dishwasher, microwave* & the
freezer. We recommend using the top-rack in the dishwasher for best
results.

How
are Tervis Tumblers different from look-alike tumblers?
Tervis
Tumblers stand out from the rest with our signature lines, durable
construction and our lifetime guarantee, to which we have been
committed for more than 60 years. Plus, we proudly stamp the Tervis
name on the bottom of every Tumbler and Ice Bucket we produce. If it
doesn’t say Tervis on the bottom, it’s not a
genuine Tervis Tumbler!

Why
do I have to first install Microsoft Silverlight in order to
personalize my tumbler(s) and/or ice bucket(s)?
