Mugs & Tumblers

Mugs or tumblers: which one?

A mug is the everyday choice for coffee or tea at home or at your desk. Most of our mugs are ceramic with a glossy finish and a C-shaped handle, and some designs come in more than one size. A tumbler is built for carrying: it typically has a lid and an insulated body to help drinks hold their temperature on the go.

Capacity, material and lid type can vary between designs, so give the product description a quick read before you buy.

How is the design applied?

Your mug or tumbler is printed by our production partner once your order comes in. Drinkware is commonly decorated by sublimation or a similar heat-transfer process, which bonds the image to a coated surface instead of leaving a sticker-like layer. Some designs wrap all the way around, while others are placed on a single side or on front and back; check the mockups to see the placement.

What about the dishwasher and microwave?

Check the listing for your specific item before using either one. Hand washing keeps the print looking new longer, and a soft sponge is kinder to the surface than a scouring pad.

Mockup colors are a close guide, though printed shades on a curved surface can look a little different. If your order arrives chipped, cracked or misprinted, our Returns & Exchanges page explains how to let us know. Other questions? Try our FAQs.
