Custom Mugs

About custom mugs

The H2O Promos mugs range runs to 1,033 styles, every one of them decoratable. Pricing runs from $3.55 at the low end to about $40 for premium insulated styles, exclusive of setup.

Materials break down as stainless steel (363), ceramic (319), glass (64) and plastic (33), with stainless steel dominating the insulated end of the range. Capacities run from roughly 11 oz to 30 oz, with the volume of orders concentrated in the 20 oz to 32 oz range that suits daily desk and commute use. Common features include with handle, vacuum insulated, eco-friendly and double-wall.

Decoration is mostly Screen Print, Laser Engraved, Full-Color Digital and Pad Print. Which one fits depends on the substrate: laser engraving gives a permanent, dishwasher-durable mark on stainless steel, while screen and pad printing suit plastics and powder-coated finishes, and full-color digital handles gradients and photographic artwork.

Minimums are usually 24 pieces, and 936 of these items have volume price breaks, so unit cost drops as the order grows. Setup charges typically start at $65 per color, per location, and are one-time on repeat orders of the same artwork.

Buyers order mugs in this range for office kitchens, welcome kits, coffee subscriptions and holiday gifting. The practical difference between a giveaway and a gift is unit price and perceived quality: at the $3.55 to $11 end you are budgeting for volume and reach, while items above $11 tend to be single-recipient gifts where the item is expected to be kept and used daily.

Artwork should be supplied as vector (AI, EPS or PDF with outlined fonts) for engraving and screen printing; full-color digital accepts high-resolution raster files. We produce a free virtual mockup showing your logo at actual imprint size on the product before anything is committed to production, and confirm decoration method, imprint location and final pricing at the same time. Standard production runs five to ten working days after approval on most items in this range, with rush service available on a subset.

Branded options in this category include RTIC, Swig, Brumate, Urban Peak, Asobu and Perka. 758 of these items ship in more than one colorway, which matters when you are matching corporate colors rather than just placing a logo.
