Printed Mugs, Promotional Mugs & Ceramic Mugs

Unlike promotional mouse mats, which I wrote about earlier, printed mugs are not an essential tool to do a job. However if you want to keep personnel hydrated and happy then mugs must be next on the list.

Promotional mugs are commonly used when sat behind a desk or on the move. The right choice will be different for each company as a number of factors need to be taken in to consideration, such as: what type of company are you giving the promotional product too? What are the job roles of the people receiving them?

Printed mugs are used to hold both hot or cold drinks but some are suited for a specific purpose, be sure you take this in to consideration prior to purchasing.

Promotional mugs give you the marketing opportunity, over a large branding area to keep your company in full view of decision makers.

Unlike other promotional products, printed mugs have a very generous print area, almost wrapping around the whole mug. Some are available with a full colour 360 wrap around the whole mug.

There are lots of different styles manufactured from many different materials:

Acrylic or plastic mugs are manufactured from plastic. Some are manufactured in the UK from recycled plastics.

Ceramic mugs are very popular with a wide range of styles to choose from. Prices are cheapest on white mugs and when you are having a 1 colour print but it is possible to have full colour ceramic printed mugs. Lead-times are very quick, for up to 1008 units, which is the vast majority of all orders.

China mugs are purchased in smaller quantities than ceramic mugs but then bone china should be reserved for special clients or boardrooms. China mugs are also available in the same lead-times as ceramic mugs.

Travel mugs or insulated mugs as others refer to them, are for people on the move. Travel mugs are very robust and very popular.

Mug packaging is important to consider when shipping ceramic or china mugs overseas, they should be packaged in polystyrene cubes and then boxed.

Printed mugs are generally packaged in 36s and so quantities purchased should be divisible by this to avoid breakages.

To summarise printed mugs are a guaranteed way for you to be sure that your logo will be in front of decision makers on a regular basis. You will receive a far higher return on your investment over and above other promotional gifts.
