It's amazing how technology can change even the simplest of everyday items into an eye catching event piece. Take for example the humble mug. When combined with heat change technology, all sorts of incredible designs can be achieved. Here are 5 of our absolute favourite mugs that feature amazing heat activated branding!

Custom Printed Heat Change Mugs

1. This Pac Man seems to feature nothing but the background from the classic arcade game. That is until you pour some hot liquid into the mug and the entire thing springs to life!

2. For fans of Doctor Who, nothing could be more fun than a heat activated mug that seemingly "transports" the TARDIS from one side of the mug (space) to the other (present day Earth) when a hot drink is added.

3. For those with a sense of humour, this playful swimming mug takes on a slightly more sinister tone once your tea or coffee is added. Suddenly sharks appear all around the swimmers - yikes!

4. For those seeking a more soothing heat change mug, this one shows Earth as it appears at night. Once you add your drink it becomes day time and the world is illuminated. Very clever.

5. And finally Game of Thrones fans rejoice, there's a mug that takes advantage of heat activation that also lets you geek up with the series. Seemingly a black mug featuring the Stark family crest, when hot liquid is added the cup turns white with the family's ominous "Winter is Coming" slogan being revealed.
