Promotional printed mugs in ceramic, china and travel formats available on express

Promotional mugs have a very generous print area and can be printed with your artwork or message. Printed mugs give you the ability to advertise your brand to a multitude of people, not just the person you have given it to. Personalised mugs are seen by the person who brewed up, the person that drinks from it and anyone opposite or nearby. Furthermore whilst it remains on the desk, before either being used again or taken in to the kitchen. Whilst it is drying all will see your brand logo.

When considering the exposure of your brand or logo you will be hard pushed to find any other traditional form of marketing that gives you as good an ROI as a mug. There are many different types that fall under this umbrella: Acrylic/ Plastic, Ceramic, China and Travel.

Mugs can be personalised with pantone references as spot colours, full colour dye sublimation for pictures, we can even sand blast and leave a permanent image. Special techniques can be used to decorate the handle, the inside lip, the inside base and the outside base. I particularly like the outside base as an additional print area as when your mugs are drying, after being washed, they are turned upside down giving your more advertising space and time.

Ceramic mugs are manufactured from earthenware pottery. Traditionally manufactured in the UK in Poole, in Dorset. ceramic mugs are the most popular. There are a couple of styles that stand out, head and shoulders above the rest due to their large advertising print area and low cost: the Durham/ Cambridge Mug and the Sparta Mug. These styles can be screen printed in pantone colours; dye sublimated in full colour, sand blasted and even used as a heat sensitive WOW/ Reveal Mug.

China mugs are elegant and classy. Ask anyone who drinks regularly from a china mug and they will tell you they can taste the difference if they use a non-china mug to drink from. China mugs are normally purchased in smaller quantities than ceramic due to the cost and they are more delicate, leading to more breakages.

Travel mugs are designed for people on the move. We have insulated travel mugs in a huge range of vibrant colours, such as purple and pink, that we accentuate your brand logo. There are plastic and stainless steel options, we even have flasks with rubberised texture finish to feel that little bit nicer in the hand. We also have travel mugs that can heat your drink when plugged in to the cigarette lighter in a car and a desk travel mug that when you push a button stirs your coffee.

Packaging your mugs could make that all important difference when presenting a customer with a gift. If you are posting them out individually than you will need to ensure they are housed correctly, as we do not want breakages.

You will be hard pushed to break Acrylic/ Plastic mugs. They are not indestructible but they will certainly last longer than a ceramic mug. Plastic mugs also are available in recycled format to do your bit for the environment. Plastic mugs are usually used where safety is of primary concern: around children, the elderly or vulnerable people. They are manufactured in the UK.

Mugs are in the top 10 promotional products and have been for the last twenty years. They are both very practical and a fantastic opportunity to advertise with a large area to display your brand or logo.
