Custom Mugs & Drinkware

Custom Mugs & Drinkware from Longtian: custom mugs and drinkware for museums, scenic attractions, enterprises and universities. Our MOQ starts from 50 pcs. Sampling usually takes 5–7 days after the digital proof is approved; mass production takes about 15–25 days after sample approval. Price depends mainly on blank type, print method, capacity, packaging and quantity; we do not publish a fixed price list — each project is quoted from your artwork and quantity. Sample and mold fees are quoted per design. Payment is T/T 30% deposit and 70% before shipment (PayPal for samples); trade terms are EXW, FOB Shenzhen or DDP by quote. An NDA is available on request.

A mug brings artwork into daily use, so museum cafés, attraction shops and companies print illustrations, photos or logos on ceramic and travel drinkware. We handle the design proof, sampling and production, then pack for export.

Crafts and processes

• Ceramic mug printing (wrap or spot)
• Colour-coated and two-tone ceramics
• Travel tumblers and stainless options quoted per design
• Gift box or kraft sleeve
• Dishwasher-safe inks where specified

Ceramic mugs are printed with wrap or spot artwork after the blank is chosen. Colour-coated mugs provide a base colour; two-tone mugs add a contrasting inside or handle. Travel tumblers use different print or laser methods on stainless bodies. Print durability and dishwasher claims depend on the process — we state what the chosen process supports on the quote and sample.

Café mugs are held by the handle and seen from three-quarter view, so the main subject should sit opposite the handle unless you intentionally wrap a panorama. We provide templates for common blanks. If you need a matching travel tumbler in the same artwork, say so at quote stage so print methods stay consistent across materials.

Materials

• Ceramic mug blanks
• Stainless travel tumblers (quoted per design)
• Wrap or spot print inks
• Optional lids and sleeves
• Gift boxes or kraft sleeves

Ceramic suits café and shop retail; stainless travel cups suit commuting gifts.

Sizes

We supply a print template so your artwork fits the curve.

• Cartons with dividers

Dividers stop mugs knocking in transit.

Design tips

Use high-resolution art and follow the template. Avoid tiny text on curved surfaces. Approve a printed sample before the bulk run for colour-critical projects. Leave a clear margin from the handle in the print template. For café use, confirm whether mugs must stack and whether lids are required for takeaway.

What affects the price (no fixed list)

Price is quoted per project. The main drivers for mugs and drinkware are material and process, size, finish detail, packaging and quantity per design. Sample and mold or setup fees are quoted per design. We do not publish USD prices.

Files and details that help us quote

Please include: artwork or reference images, preferred size and material if known, quantity per design, target delivery date, destination country and packaging preference. If you have a target retail price, share it so we can suggest a suitable process.

Quality checks before shipping
