Cups

Promotional mugs, promotional ceramics, printed mugs

Promotional ceramics is one of the most frequently used advertising media. Promotional mugs, due to their durability and price, are considered the most desirable promotional gadgets. A printed mug, cup, beer mug, glass, or even an entire service work great as a promotional gift handed out during organized promotions, tastings or industry fairs.

Many companies use promotional mugs and cups as a form of representing their image. In our offer you will find a wide selection of promotional ceramics, including promotional mugs, promotional cups, Magic Mugs, beer mugs, as well as complete sets. On promotional mugs we can place any print, e.g. your company logo, advertising slogan, company contact details and more. The promotional print can be one-, two-, three- or full-color.

We perform marking using various techniques

  • Direct print is the cheapest method of printing on promotional ceramics. One of the main limitations of this solution is the ability to print only solid colors, without tonal transitions.
  • Ceramic decal is the most durable technique of marking promotional mugs. Unfortunately, this method is also the most expensive.
  • Sublimation is the method we most often use to place photographs on promotional ceramics.
  • Sandblasting is a method of printing on mugs, consisting of engraving using a sandblasting device.
  • Magic Mug is a technique that enables the color of a promotional mug to change under the influence of heat. In this way, we achieve the magical effect of the appearance of a promotional print.

We invite you to explore our offer regarding promotional ceramics. We will answer any question regarding printed mugs.

  • fonts converted to curves,
  • resolution for raster projects – 300 dpi,
  • we recommend specifying colors according to the Pantone color chart,
  • minimum line thickness: TRANSFER PRINT and DIRECT PRINT: positive 0.2 mm, negative 0.4 mm; TERMO INK: positive 1.5 mm, negative 2 mm; SENSITIVE TOUCH: positive 0.8 mm, negative 1.5 mm,

Print durability

  • TRANSFER PRINT and DIRECT PRINT: prints on porcelain and earthenware products are fired at 800-840°C, which makes them resistant to washing in mechanical dishwashers. Prints on glass are fired at 560-620°C. For this reason, hand washing is recommended,
  • TERMO INK: prints in this technology undergo UV curing, so hand washing is recommended,
  • ART PRINT and MAGIC MUG: prints in these technologies are baked at approx. 180°C, so hand washing is recommended.
