Promotional Mugs With Your Logos
A custom branded promotional mug with your logo is possibly the most popular promotional item in winter time. What makes it such an effective product for branding with your logo is that branding on a mug is both personal to the user yet public in its display at the same time. If you are like myself your mug is used everyday and no one else touches it! No exceptions! At the same time though a mug has a large branding area and realistically anyone within a 2 meter distance would be able to see the mug and the branding quite clearly. If you come up with a clever image or some smart text then the attention that your branding can get will be even more.
What are Promotion Mugs & Cups Made From?
For coffee and tea cups they are available in quite a few finishes. Here are the most popular materials used in making cups in order of general pricing:
Plastic
Metal
Cerramic
Fine Bone China
Porcelain
The most expensive material used in making mugs is Porcelain. However the cost do not neccessarily indicate durability. In fact the most durable type of mug is metal. However it is by far generally the least desirable option even though many metal mugs have a double wall to insulate hot and cold drinks as well as protect user hands from heat. Porcelain on the other hand is a light and delicate mug. It breaks very easily yet it is this delicateness that makes it very appealing. Due to demand we are now stocking porcelain promotional mugs and will have it available on our website shortly.
The most common promotional mug is simply cerramic mugs. These are the best for general promotionsl because they combine the best of everything including:
– Overall durability
– Large branding area
– Commonly accepted and liked shapes
– Relatively economical price
Things To Look out for When Branding Mugs?
Branding on a cerramic mug is not hard to do with specialist equipment. We literally have hundreds done everyday. However there are a few key things to look out for. Simply printing on a mug is not enough. When you are buying a promotional mug make sure that the branding is fired in a kiln. Otherwise it is prone to chipping and scratching as well as the colour running when placed in a dishwasher. A kiln is effectively a gigantic oven capable of high temperatures. This high temperature alters the mug and makes branding on the mug more effective and more permanant. This is how we brand on our mugs. Beware of suppliers that simply pad print on a mug and dont kiln fire them. The cost may be lower but your logo will chip in a matter of days.
Mug Trivia! The mug was invented in 1933 by a chap called Chad Ripepi

Magic Colour Change Mugs
I remember first seeing these in the 80’s. However many people have not seen these but they are way way super cool. A colour change mug works by a chemcial reaction that changes the way colour behaves when a heat source is nearby such as hot coffee. This chemical reaction when heated makes the ink change and in the instance of a Magic Mug it makes what originally was a black mug turn into a full colour image. Sounds super cool and in practice as a promotional item it is super cool. Check out the vido below for a demonstration.
