Stainless Steel Travel Mugs

Branded stainless steel travel mugs share a steel outer shell on nearly every style, though the inside varies more than you'd expect. A polypropylene or food grade plastic liner is the lighter, simpler build, paired with push-on lids, splash-resistant sliders and soft bases that protect desks. All-steel double wall styles use food grade stainless for the inner as well, and some add rubber grips, silicone bands or chrome accents. Vacuum insulated cups and mugs seal the gap between the walls, with copper-lined versions holding temperature longest, and powder coated finishes give a smooth coloured surface. Bamboo exteriors, cork bases and cork handles offer a natural look, and one style includes a snap-in tea infuser.

A travel mug for a teacher isn't a gift that sits on a shelf next to the apple-shaped ornaments. It's the thing that goes from the staffroom kettle to yard duty and back, lid shut so a playground collision doesn't end in a scald. A school thanking staff at the end of term gives something that gets used every morning. For a different feel, ceramic travel mugs are worth comparing.

Every style can be branded, and most custom stainless steel travel mugs can be engraved or printed. On the powder coated cups, engraving removes the coating to show the bare steel underneath.

Common Questions

Are these a good gift for real estate agents to give clients?
Yes, a lidded steel mug gives a new homeowner something they'll use through the first busy mornings in the new place. A vacuum insulated style keeps their coffee hot while they unpack boxes and wait for the removalists.

Which style is best for a construction company giving them to site crews?
A handled stainless steel mug with a screw top or push button lid is the strongest choice for site crews. The worker gets a mug that sits steady on a tailgate and doesn't slop when it's knocked.

Which branded stainless steel travel mugs suit corporate client gifts?
Copper-lined vacuum mugs hold temperature longest, and powder coated finishes give a smooth coloured surface that looks sharp on a client's desk. Bamboo exteriors and cork handles offer a natural look for businesses that want something a little different.

Do not-for-profits use metal travel mugs as volunteer thank-you gifts?
They do, and a plastic-lined double wall mug gives volunteers something warm to hold at an early morning sausage sizzle or fun run. Bamboo and cork styles add a natural touch for environmental groups.
