Branded mugs, printed with your logo

Promotional mugs are one of the few branded products people use every day without thinking about it, at the desk, in the kitchen and on the commute, so your logo is seen several times a day and for years rather than weeks. We brand the full range, from everyday ceramic mugs for the office to insulated travel mugs and premium names such as Stanley and CamelBak.

Most mugs hold 300ml to 500ml, the size of a normal cup of coffee, with some smaller and larger styles either side. Tell us who the mugs are for and roughly how many you need, and we will suggest the right style, print method and price.

How We Print Your Mugs

There is a lot of branding space on a printed mug, and the right method depends on the mug and on your artwork.

Our Branded Mug Range

The range covers every kind of branded mug, from value ceramic mugs for giveaways to vacuum insulated travel mugs for clients and staff, and every style can carry your logo.

Branded Travel Mugs and Reusable Coffee Cups

A branded travel mug is the mug people take out of the office. It goes in the car, on the train and to the gym, so your logo is seen by far more people than a mug that stays in the kitchen. Our custom travel mugs range from everyday stainless steel and plastic styles to double walled, vacuum insulated mugs that keep coffee hot for hours, and you can choose the colour of the lid, handle and outer to match your brand. Insulated and metal travel mugs are usually laser engraved, which gives a clean finish that will not wash off, while plastic and coloured styles can be printed in your Pantone colours.

Branded reusable coffee cups do the same job for a smaller budget and a bigger giveaway. They are light, have a lid and suit coffee shops, cafés, events and sustainability campaigns where you want people to stop using disposable cups. Greener versions are made from recycled plastic, bamboo fibre or cork, and many can take a full colour wrap around print. For more reusable options, see our eco friendly merchandise and our branded water bottles.

Choosing the Right Mug for the Job

For the office kitchen, a trade show or a staff welcome pack, a classic ceramic mug gives you a useful, long lasting item at a sensible cost. For clients and commuters, a travel mug goes wherever they do, so your brand is seen on the train, in the car and at the desk. If the mug is a gift, an insulated travel mug or a branded Stanley or CamelBak is the one people keep using, because they would have bought one anyway.

Think about the design as well. Most mugs have plenty of branding space, so a full colour design can wrap all the way round, while a screen printed Pantone colour logo keeps it clean and on brand. Print areas do vary, and some designs come with cork bases, built in lids or carabiner handles, so tell us who the mugs are for and we will point you at the right part of the range.

Who Uses Branded Mugs

Few promotional products get used as often as a mug. Personalised mugs sit on desks, in kitchens and in cars, putting your logo in front of people several times a day.

What Affects the Price of Branded Mugs

Every mug order is priced individually, and a few things make the biggest difference:

• The mug itself. A value ceramic mug costs far less than china, an insulated travel mug or a premium brand such as Stanley or CamelBak.
• The quantity. The price per mug falls as the order grows, because set up costs are spread across more units.
• The print. A one colour logo on one side is the most economical, while extra colours, a full wrap, or printing on the inside, rim or base add to the cost.
• Engraving. Laser engraving on metal mugs is priced separately from printing, and gives a permanent, premium finish.

Vector artwork (AI, EPS, PDF or SVG) gives the sharpest result, but a good quality PNG or JPG is fine to start with, and we will tell you if anything needs adjusting before your free visual proof is sent.

Mugs in Welcome Packs and Gift Sets

Custom printed mugs make a strong centrepiece for a gift or welcome pack. Pair them with branded notepads and pens, or put the whole set into one of our corporate gift boxes. For wet weather days, branded umbrellas make a good companion gift. Our round up of the most popular promotional merchandise has more ideas.

Branded Mug FAQs

Where on a mug can you print?

We can print on the side, the rim, the handle, the inside and even the bottom of the mug, so there is a lot of branding space to work with.

Can you print a full colour design on a mug?

Yes. Sublimation prints full colour designs, including photographs and gradients, and can wrap all the way round the mug. For one or two colour logos, screen printing matched to your Pantone references gives a clean, solid finish.

Can travel mugs be customised?

Yes. Our travel mugs can be customised with different colour lids, handles and outers to create something unique for your brand.

Do you supply branded Stanley and CamelBak mugs?

Yes. We supply Stanley and CamelBak travel mugs and tumblers branded with your logo, usually laser engraved for a permanent finish. They make a strong client or staff gift because people already know and want the brands.

Do you offer insulated travel mugs?

Yes. Our double walled, vacuum insulated stainless steel mugs keep drinks hot or cold for hours, and they can be printed or laser engraved with your logo.

Do you supply branded reusable coffee cups?

Yes. We brand reusable coffee cups with lids in plastic, recycled plastic, bamboo fibre and cork, printed in your Pantone colours or with a full colour wrap. They are a popular choice for cafés, events and campaigns to cut down on disposable cups.

What size are your branded mugs?

Most of our mugs hold 300ml to 500ml, the size of a normal cup of coffee, with some smaller and larger styles available, including larger travel mugs and tumblers.

Do you offer eco friendly mugs?

Yes. There are mugs made from reclaimed plastic, recycled stainless steel, bamboo fibre and cork, and every reusable travel mug cuts down on disposable cups.

Are printed mugs dishwasher safe?

It depends on the mug. Many of our printed ceramic mugs are dishwasher and microwave safe, while metal and insulated travel mugs should not go in the microwave and are often best washed by hand. We will confirm the care details for the mug you choose.

What is the minimum order for branded mugs?

The minimum order for branded mugs is 36 units, and the price per mug comes down as the quantity rises.

How long do printed mugs take?

Our standard turnaround is 7 working days from approved artwork, and express turnaround is available when the date is tight.

Can mugs be supplied with other branded merchandise?

Yes. Mugs pair well with notepads and pens, and the whole set can go into a corporate gift box so it arrives as one branded package.
