Printed Coffee Mug
Ceramics are one of the old-age materials that are still popular today and have become an industry staple. Ceramics are not only used to create beautiful vases and bowls, decorative items and ceramic accessories but are popularly used for making ceramic mugs.
Practically in every kitchen or even office pantry, you are bound to see a ceramic coffee mug with either the company’s logo or even a saying such as ‘World’s Best Dad’. Apart from being a cutlery statement, ceramic mugs, also called coffee mugs or coffee cups, are also popularly becoming a collector’s hobby as well as part of home décor pieces.
The truly artistic go all out in collecting custom printed coffee mugs to adorn their display cabinet or kitchen. Imprinted coffee cups are perfect for companies, for wedding favors and party gift bags as well as for sororities and collegiate where you want to inject some team spirit and increase the sense of belonging among your team members and social circles.
Personalized coffee mugs also make a statement.
There was a time when I used to work in advertising and everyone in the office had a ceramic mug that had some witty tagline or statement on it that reflected their personality–it was sort of a company culture that also became a quick ice breaker and conversation starter among the staff.
Quick ice breakers are good especially when you are surrounded by people you do not know. By imprinting your logo on a coffee mug, it can be turned into an exceptional promotional item that can be presented as corporate gifts.
It is a means of advertising and marketing your business as coffee cups have staying power–it not only looks classy to have your logo printed on a mug but it also promotes your business and sends your message to your audience for a longer period of time.
Not only that, printed ceramic mugs are becoming increasingly popular at home, in the office and at cafes and restaurants as these mugs are dishwasher safe and are eco-friendly. Why use a paper cup for your morning coffee when you can have it in a strong, sturdy and unique mug?
Promotional Mugs and Glassware has a wide variety of custom printed coffee mugs—from Bistro to Espresso to Latte style. All are of exceptional quality and come in a variety of colors. You can choose coffee mugs that match your business logo or be really eccentric and choose something that will really make your logo stand out.
Whatever you choose, make sure you give away your new printed coffee cups freely, to have the promotional power you are looking for your business or event.
Silver and Gold Printed Mugs
Silver or Gold Metal Based Inks: Although slightly more expensive than standard inks, real gold or silver inks can really bring the best out of your design. This is something you might like to consider if you have a simple one colour logo that you really want to stand out.
They look spectacular.
Promotional mugs have been around for many years and are very popular business gifts. In fact, year on year they are always one of the top selling promotional gifts. They offer a large print area for your logo and details and they are used by all. This means that your advertisement will get optimum coverage day in and day out. This article aims to show you seven reasons why they are so popular for business promotion.
1. Print area: There are few promotional items that offer as much print space as mugs. The standard traditional mugs have a print area that stretches from the handle all the way around the mug to the handle again. This means that there is plenty of room to print almost anything you require. Use this space! Your design could continue to sell your company to your target customers for years.
2. Print options: Few promotional products offer such a large number of ways to print and promote your brand. From the popular photo mugs that are all the rage these days down to the more traditional screen printed mugs, the choice is yours. You can even print with special gold metal or silver metal based inks that, though slightly more expensive, can bring your promotion into a completely different league. Other popular ways of printing mugs are digital transfers that looks excellent printed on the inside of the mugs or on the handle.
3. Colour options: Mugs are available in a large number of colours so you should find a mug that is at least close to your corporate colours. If not, fear not. Many popular mugs can be pantone matched with spectacular results.
4. Usability: Almost everyone uses a mug on a daily basis. Your customers’s coffee and tea breaks could be valuable advertising time for you. Every time your target customers pick up their logo printed mugs they could be reminded of you.
5. Mugs are not thrown away: Unlike other popular promotional gifts such as pens that eventually run out of ink, promotional mugs are very rarely thrown away unless they are broken. Although they are not expensive, they are thought of as a useful, valuable gifts that are kept to sell your company for many years.
6. Mugs are easy to give away: Mugs are most often given away in person at exhibitions or in face to face meetings with your customers. Now, they can even be easily posted in good quality cardboard and polystyrene postal packaging. The packaging is not expensive and can be purchased at the time your buy your mugs.
7. Mugs are available in many different shapes: What ever look you are trying to promote, there is almost certainly a mug that will do it. From the traditional style earthenware mugs right up to the more modern large latte mugs, there are many to choose from. China mugs, though more pricey, are also very popular. The choice is big and it is all yours.
