Question

Are custom printed mugs dishwasher safe?

Answer

Whether a printed mug is dishwasher safe depends on the printing method.

MethodCare
SublimationFully dishwasher safe, ink bonds into the coating
Screen printHand wash only to protect the surface ink

Sublimation ink fuses with the ceramic coating at a molecular level, so it will not fade, peel, or crack in the dishwasher.
