Tips on Buying Branded Travel Mugs for Promotional Campaigns
Small, Medium, or Large… Choose the Right Size for Your Printed Travel Mugs
How much coffee do your customers or employees drink in the morning? Find the perfect cup for your campaign here! We offer a variety of models in different capacities and explain the essentials below:
- 250–280 ml: Ideal for those who enjoy a black coffee or espresso to kick-start their morning with a burst of energy.
- 300–380 ml: A standard size, perfect for a milky coffee during a short commute.
- 400–475 ml: The largest size, perfect for coffee enthusiasts who prefer a leisurely, relaxed coffee experience.
Not All Lids Are the Same: Key Features to Consider
Printable travel mugs typically feature the classic lid with an opening, allowing for comfortable drinking without spills while maintaining the drink's temperature.
However, not every model uses the standard silicone lid. We offer leakproof and spill-resistant designs for safer transportation, and even some airtight options for carrying in a bag.
Additionally, some lids screw on, while others are press-fit, allowing for easy opening and closing with a simple motion. Certain designs feature easy-open lids, so you can sip without removing the cover.
Other options include sliding openings, or even lids with no spouts at all.
Plastic, Ceramic, Steel… Which Material Should You Choose?
Not sure which material is best for your travel mugs? We’re here to help. Let’s look at the main features of each option to guide your decision.
The most classic option is Plastic PP (Polypropylene): lightweight, durable, heat-resistant, and recyclable. They are BPA-free and generally the most budget-friendly choice.
Glass: Particularly borosilicate glass, offers an elegant finish, excellent thermal resistance, and does not transfer flavour to the drink.
Ceramic and Porcelain: Both robust and durable, with porcelain being the higher-quality choice.
Finally, Stainless Steel is the most resistant and long-lasting material. It’s easy to clean and suitable for laser engraving.
Remember that some materials transfer heat more than others, so if your cup includes a silicone band, always keep it in place when drinking.
Cleaning Your Promotional Travel Mugs
Proper cleaning and drying are essential to prevent mould and unpleasant odours.
Each material requires specific care, so we recommend carefully reading the instructions for your chosen model. For example, borosilicate glass and stainless steel are dishwasher-safe, but plastic and silicone are not.
If your travel mug has removable parts, disassemble them to ensure a thorough clean. Make sure all pieces are completely dry before reassembling.
For all printed mug models, we recommend handwashing to preserve the logo, as methods like pad printing can be easily damaged.
Rinse with hot water before using detergent to remove residue. Use a mild, non-abrasive soap and a soft sponge to avoid scratching the surface. Take extra care with the exterior to prevent premature wear of the logo.
Choose an Original Travel Mug
Looking to surprise your clients with something unique and eye-catching? Consider an eco-friendly option like this model, made from natural cork and recycled PP.
One standout product is this stainless steel model, which is high-quality and is sure to impress as as a corporate gift.
Frequently Asked Questions About Printed Travel Mugs
Why give away printable travel mugs?
Travel mugs are designed for transporting beverages and come with lids to make them very convenient for drinking. Additionally, they are available in a wide range of materials to suit different preferences, with many featuring grips to reduce heat transfer. They are also a more eco-friendly option, as they reduce the use of disposable cups since they are reusable. By adding your brand’s logo to the surface, you can help increase the visibility of your business. Moreover, these mugs often have standout designs, making it easier to impress your audience, especially when paired with other branded merchandise.
Can I order travel mugs without printing?
Yes! We offer an option to purchase any promotional product without branding (whether printed mugs, travel mugs, coffee mugs, etc.), making the process quicker. This also reduces delivery times (typically 5–6 working days, depending on the product) and the overall cost. This approach allows you to reach a larger audience within a smaller budget. However, opting out of branding means losing some key benefits, such as the advertising effect that comes with having a recognisable logo on your takeaway coffee mugs.
Are travel mugs suitable for all types of beverages?
Generally, travel mugs are only suitable for water, teas, coffee, and infusions. For soft drinks, particularly carbonated ones, we recommend checking the instructions or contacting our customer service team, as some models may not be suitable.
What’s the difference between a travel mug and a thermal mug?
While the primary function of both containers is the same—to carry coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or any beverage—there are some differences. Branded travel mugs are lighter and less robust, making them ideal for holding in your hand and sipping gradually. A branded thermal mug, on the other hand, is more durable and can be stored without fear of deformation. They also retain the temperature of the contents for longer periods. As a result, travel mugs are better suited for immediate, convenient consumption, whereas thermal mugs are more suitable for extended use.
How are travel mugs printed?
Almost all of our models are suitable for pad printing or screen printing, both of which are ideal for simple logos and adaptable to various product types. In some cases, screen printing can be applied in a circular format around the mug. We also offer digital printing, which allows full-colour branding with high-quality imagery. If the mug includes parts made of wood, steel, or cork, laser engraving can be used for these sections.
When is the best time to gift travel mugs?
If you run a bar, café, or restaurant, travel mugs are very practical for customers to take their coffee or favourite beverage on the go. Additionally, any business can benefit from gifting travel mugs as promotional items, given how many people carry drinks with them during their commute, as a snack, or to enjoy during the workday. Another option is to give them to your employees to use when needed. Since these promotional items are often used while travelling, your brand will reach far and wide.
