Photo Mugs
When a marketing campaign relies on strong visual impact, standard spot colour printing is often too restrictive. Promotional photo mugs solve this by allowing businesses to place full-scale, photographic imagery directly into the hands of their clients. They are commonly used by tourism boards to display scenic landscapes, or by creative agencies to showcase portfolio work. Because a coffee mug sits on a desk for hours each day, the large print area provides constant exposure for complex artwork that would otherwise be limited to paper brochures.
The category includes a diverse selection of drinkware designed specifically to accept digital imagery. The range spans from traditional 11oz ceramic styles to can-shaped designs, flare lip options, and V-shaped mugs. For a more delicate option, bone china styles are available in a 300ml capacity. Every item in this collection is manufactured with a specialised coating that is required for the branding process.
That process uses sublimation printing, which transfers the design into the coating rather than sitting on top of it. This allows for edge-to-edge wrap prints and ensures the image remains glossy and clear. The collection also features creative options like a colour-changing style that reacts to heat, and two-tone designs that add a pop of colour to the handle and interior.
Things People Ask
Can I print a different image on each side?
Yes, the sublimation process is very flexible. You can choose to have a single wrap-around image, or place two completely different photographs on either side of the mug.
What is the minimum order quantity?
It varies depending on the specific style and how they are boxed for shipping. Most ceramic styles require a minimum of 36 or 72 units, while the bone china options start at 48 units.
Will the printed image fade over time?
The sublimation process embeds the ink into the mug's coating, making it highly resistant to fading. However, to keep the colours looking their best, handwashing is recommended.
Are gift boxes included?
Gift boxes are available as an optional extra for most styles, usually in black or white. The bone china options come presented in a natural gift box as standard.
