Mugs & Plates

Mugs are very popular, and people are known to buy a lot of them, which is why we offer a large range of bone china and earthenware mugs plus a small range of bone china plates. 

We work in conjunction with a Stoke-based pottery, who once we have prepared your artwork, skilfully print and apply your designs to the ceramics on our behalf. 

The mugs and plates can be all decorated in spot colours plus some of the styles can also be printed in full colour dye-sublimation (for runs up to 500) or full colour transfer printing for larger runs.

Mugs are an excellent product on which to feature beautiful images, so appeal to our design-orientated customers.

Our bespoke earthenware and personalised china mugs are a great option for promotions, fundraising for charities, or for any type of organisation that has a message they want to get across.  After all, what’s a better reminder than a mug that sits on your customer's desk every day?  Or a mug in your supporter's home that comes out every morning for that first cup of tea or coffee….

Our bespoke earthenware and personalised china mugs are also a fantastic option for corporate mug printing for bulk orders plus for buying custom mugs wholesale.

Apollo & Windsor - the most popular of the larger sizes. 

The Apollo and Windsor bone china mugs are very similar shapes, but because of the flared effect at the top of the Apollo mug, this shape is not suitable for very large designs which need to fill more of the print area from top to bottom. 

Therefore we also have the more straight-sided Windsor mug to fulfil this role.

The Apollo and Windsor mugs are suitable for single colour and multi spot colours plus full colour transfer prints.
