Not sublimatable
You cannot sublimate a YETI
YETI Ramblers are DuraCoat powder-coated stainless steel. Sublimation ink bonds to a polymer coating, and there is none here, so the ink has nothing to enter: it sits on the surface and wipes or flakes away.
Why it will not work
Why the coating says no
This is not a workaround situation, it is chemistry. YETI's own customisation FAQ says it plainly: they decorate Ramblers by laser marking, "laser engraving is the only option", and they cannot print colour. The laser removes the DuraCoat pigment to reveal the silver steel underneath, which is the opposite process to sublimation.
What the listings do not tell you
The "YETI sublimation wraps" sold on marketplaces are either vinyl wraps, which are a different craft entirely, or artwork sized for a YETI-shaped dupe blank. And a listing that puts the YETI name on a template is also carrying someone else's trademark, which is a second reason it will not be found here.

Can you sublimate a YETI tumbler?
No. YETI Ramblers are powder coated, not polymer coated, and sublimation ink has nothing to bond to. YETI itself only offers laser engraving, which works by removing the coating to expose bare steel.
What are the YETI sublimation wraps sold online for?
Almost always for vinyl application, or sized for lookalike sublimation blanks in the same silhouette. Read the listing fine print: if the blank is a real YETI, sublimation ink will not stay on it.
What should I buy instead of a YETI for sublimation?
A sublimation-coated blank in the same tapered shape: the Polar Camel Sublimatable line and BestSub's 30oz tapered tumbler are the documented options in this library.
