Mugs, Mugs and More Promotional Mugs…Which Do You Choose?
After weeks (perhaps months!) of deliberation, you have finally decided that a mug is the ideal product for your next promotion. And may we say you’ve chosen well – in today’s society, a day without a cup of tea or coffee is practically unheard of. It’s highly likely that your promotional gifts will be used daily, most likely throughout the day at several intervals.
So far so good – all you need to do now is to order your mugs. You call our Promotional Gifts Consultants, to be met with the question “…and what style of mug would you like to order ?”. Now you’re completely flummoxed, as a mug is a mug, right? Wrong. So here’s a little low-down on the what’s what in the world of promotional mugs:
Acrylic– these mugs are actually plastic, not ceramic. We offer two designs of Acrylic mug – the Classic and the Standard. Both are extremely hard-wearing, and are available in a wide range of colours. Choose Acrylic if you are supplying your mugs to people likely to be using the mugs in a busy environment, such as builders or workmen, or teachers or children (or, anyone who has to comply with local health and sagety regulations re the non-use of glass materials!).
PhotoMug– this is a ceramic mug available in the Durham or Avon styles. It has been designed to provide superb photographic quality, whilst still being dishwasher and microwave safe. Choose the PhotoMug if you are planning to print photographic images, or your design features many colours.
Metallic Lustre – again this is a ceramic mug, available in the Durham only. It utilises an innovative gold, silver or bronze coating to give your mug a stunning metallic sheen. Use Metallic Lustre if you want to give your mug a feel of opulence, or simply want something a little different.
WoW– well, this is just something totally unique! When hot liquid is added to the mug, your branding appears as if by magic! The WoW is available in the Durham style, and is available with a one colour overprint which is permanently visible (additional costs apply). Choose the WoW mugs when you want to give your promotion, well, the WOW factor!
Part or Full Wrap – this is also worth mentioning, as this is another consideration when ordering your mug. A Part Wrap means the design will stop either side of the handle – whilst the Full Wrap will continue underneath the handle. A Full Wrap can sometimes be a little more expensive.
Pre-Production samples – these are available on most types of mug for an additional cost. Please ask for more details if you feel that this would be beneficial to you.
Packaging - we also offer a range of mug packaging, with several options available depending on the logistics involved in your promotion. These include acetate boxes which are perfect for point-of-display, and corrugate card boxes ideal for mailing.
Other mugs – we do also supply many other styles of simple earthenware and bone china mugs. If you can’t see what you are looking for, contact our Promotional Gifts Consultants for further information on 0845 8386 368 or email sales@redbows.co.uk
