Tervis products are made with an ultra-strong seal so they can stand up to the test in the freezer, dishwasher, and microwave.* We recommend using the top-rack in the dishwasher for best results. *Certain designs are not microwavable including our designs that contain metallic in them such as the brushed steel initial(s) and the fly fish set.

I handled my tumbler after using sunscreen and it now appears hazy, what should I do?

Tervis tumblers are great for outdoor use & fun in the sun. However, certain sunscreen products may cause damage to several different materials, including plastics. As a plastic product, Tervis recommends minimal-to-no sunscreen contact with your tumblers or ice buckets to avoid a haziness appearance on the product(s). For example, wash your hands after applying sunscreen and before using your Tervis product(s). Should sunscreen come in contact with your tumbler(s) or ice bucket(s), hand-wash them immediately, using soap, cool water and a soft cloth.

What are Tervis tumblers made of?

Tervis tumblers are constructed of a high-quality polymer. This polymer is over 10 times more impact-resistant than other plastics!

How did Tervis get its name?

Combining the last three letters of each of their last names, engineers Frank Cotter and G. Howlett Davis dubbed their new cup brand "Tervis." 

When were Tervis tumblers first invented?

When Frank Cotter and G. Howlett Davis developed the very first Tervis tumbler in 1946, drinkware took a giant step from pure function to a whole lot of fun. Using the natural insulating power of air, Cotter and Davis created the inventive two-walled design, which kept hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold. Today, you can enjoy their handiwork in six sizes and hundreds of stylish design options.
