Promotional mugs are the second most popular promotional gift available in the UK. They are only second to promotional pens. If you are considering using promotional mugs in your marketing, it is a good idea to know what is available to you. This article lists the top five kinds of corporate mugs from cheapest to most expensive.
1.) Promotional plastic mugs are a relatively new addition to the promotional gift industry. They are available in many different colours and styles. Plastic mugs are light weight and last a long time. The print life is slightly shorter than that of ceramic mugs because they are not fire cured but they should still last a long time. Plastic mugs are perfect for outdoor promotions and organizations.
2.) Promotional earthenware mugs are the most popular mugs on the market. These are available in a lot of different styles and colours. We would be very happy to send you samples of some of the most popular shapes such as the Sparta, Durham and Cambridge mugs. The print life is long and will last much longer if they are washed by hand. Earthenware mugs are very versatile and can be Pantone colour matched, screen printed and even printed in brilliant full colour. Please contact us for details.
3.) China mugs are available to those who want something a little more upmarket from the standard earthenware mug. When you purchase promotional china mugs, you do not have as large of a colour selection and the shapes are limited but they feel like the top quality mug they are. Normally, china mugs are screen printed but they can be transfer printed with excellent results.
4.) Glass mugs look a lot like the plastic mugs and are also available in quite a few different colours. They are normally transparent and look fantastic. They are much heavier that the plastic mugs and should definitely be considered if you like the look of the plastic mugs but want something a little more substantial.
5.) The useful travel mug is definitely becoming more popular. Travel mugs are usually made out of aluminum with a plastic non-spill lid. They are perfect for drinking your morning coffee or tea in the car, train or tube. The aluminum base and metal or plastic inner helps keep the drink hot while the non-spill lid helps ensure you arrive to work in the same state you were when you left the house.
