Question

What paper stocks can I choose for mugs?

Answer

Mugs are not printed on paper. Your design is applied directly to the mug material, most often ceramic or stainless steel, using sublimation or direct-print methods. The stock you are really choosing is the mug body itself.

  • Ceramic: the classic mug material, smooth and great for vivid printing.
  • Stainless steel: durable and ideal for travel or insulated styles.
  • Other hard surfaces: additional materials suited to specific mug styles.

Because the print bonds to a hard surface rather than paper, the image is durable and resists everyday wear, so your artwork stays sharp through regular use and washing.
