Metal Mugs

Metal mugs go where ceramic mugs can't: onto building sites, into campervans, up hiking trails, and into welcome packs that need to feel thoughtful without looking corporate. Enamel camping mugs have a steel core with fused enamel coating in solid and speckled colours with a rolled rim; stainless steel mugs bring cleaner lines and better heat retention, including a carabiner-handle style and a larger capacity format. Both can be engraved or screen printed, with engraving on enamel revealing the base metal beneath for a permanent two-tone finish where the logo is cut into the colour. All start from 25 to 50 units, with 24-hour and 3-day express options at an additional charge.

A mining company sourcing end-of-year gifts for 200 field staff orders engraved enamel camping mugs because the mug suits the environment the staff actually work in, not the environment they wish their clients thought they worked in. The logo is engraved into the enamel, the mug goes into a site toolbox or a smoko room on handover day, and it stays there.

All styles can be engraved or screen printed. Engraving suits single-colour logos where the contrast finish is the point; screen printing suits colour logos that need to carry specific brand tones.

Before You Order

What is the difference between enamel and stainless steel mugs?

Enamel camping mugs have a fused enamel coating in solid or speckled colours with a rolled rim. Stainless steel mugs have a cleaner finish and better heat retention, suiting briefs where the camping aesthetic isn't right.

Is engraving or screen printing better for a metal mug?

Engraving is the stronger choice when the logo is simple and the contrast finish adds something to the look of the mug: the logo is cut into the surface permanently and the base metal shows through. Screen printing is better when the logo needs to carry specific brand colours or has detail that engraving can't reproduce cleanly at small sizes.

Are metal mugs hand wash only?

Metal mugs are recommended for hand washing only. Dishwashers degrade screen-printed logos and affect the enamel coating on camping mug styles.

What is the minimum order for metal mugs for corporate gifts?

Powder coated travel styles start at 25 units, with enamel camping mugs and stainless steel styles at 50 units. Selected styles have 24-hour and 3-day express turnaround at an additional charge, and regular production takes 5–10 business days from artwork approval.
