The always popular printed mug - The Promotional Ceramic Mug range

What is the difference between printed bone china mugs and branded ceramic coffee cups?

Mugs are one of the most iconic branded giveaways within promotional merchandise. As well as being the ideal corporate gifts they are a great retail seller, appealing to a huge and varied audience. There is a vast array of different printed mug styles, colours and designs to choose from, the most common for custom printed mugs being either ceramic or bone china. The most popular continues to be the branded ceramic coffee cups. Promotional products like the printed Cambridge Mug or Sparta, these are the most recognisable promotional mugs on the market. The technical difference between ceramic and china is to do with the clay used and how they are finished in the kiln. Ceramic and cheap branded mugs are produced using a standard and less expensive clay, this delivers an overall, thicker-walled product when fired. Branded China mugs are produced using special Kaolin clay, and when heated at a higher temperature it delivers a thinner-walled, almost translucent bright white and a more delicate to the touch product. They are both popular branded mugs and depending on affordability and who you want to gift them to, they both possess a unique appeal with their notable difference in quality.

How do we brand your promotional ceramics?

The most favoured and certainly the most popular branding methods for mugs is the classic screen print method. This is ideal for solid colours and depending on the size and shape, can usually be wrapped around the body in one print process. For branded full colour mugs, photos and more intricate designs then a dye sublimation or even an applied transfer option is recommended. Dye sublimation can produce a stunning finish and covers a large portion of the mug, recommended on mugs such as the Cambridge which has straight edges with no lips or curves. Transfers are used for company mugs that cannot be printed due to the shape, or where you may want to achieve an inner rim print or to the base.
