Full Colour Sublimation Mugs

Full colour sublimation mugs allow unlimited colour printing with photographic quality results, making them perfect for brands with vibrant logos, complex artwork or photographic imagery. Unlike traditional mug printing methods limited to spot colours, sublimation embeds ink directly into the mug coating for seamless, edge-to-edge designs.

For businesses with colourful branding or those wanting to create striking visual impact, sublimation mugs deliver results impossible with conventional printing. The vivid colours and photographic detail make these mugs stand out on any desk.

Sublimation also produces exceptionally durable decoration that won't chip, fade or wash off, ensuring your branding remains pristine through years of daily use.

Unlimited colours

Print full-colour photographs, gradients, complex patterns or any design without per-colour cost increases.

Photographic quality

Fine detail and smooth colour transitions impossible with screen printing or pad printing.

Wraparound printing

Edge-to-edge decoration covering the entire mug surface for maximum visual impact.

Exceptional durability

Sublimation ink bonds with the mug coating at molecular level, creating permanent decoration that withstands thousands of washes.

Standard white sublimation mugs

Classic 11oz white ceramic mugs providing the perfect canvas for full-colour printing. The most popular choice for promotional use.

Magic colour-change mugs

Heat-sensitive mugs that reveal hidden designs when filled with hot drinks. Create memorable, interactive promotional items.

Two-tone sublimation mugs

White exterior with coloured interior or coloured handle, adding design interest while maintaining print quality.

Latte mugs

Taller, narrower profile with larger print areas for designs requiring vertical space.

Sublimation offers complete design freedom—full wraparound images, complex patterns, photographic reproductions, or simple logos with gradient effects. Artwork should be supplied in high resolution (300dpi minimum) for best results. The only requirement is a white or light-coloured mug surface, as sublimation works through dye penetration rather than ink layering.

Brands with colourful visual identities that would lose impact in limited-colour printing. Photography businesses showcasing their work. Creative agencies demonstrating design capabilities. Sports teams featuring full-colour crests and imagery. Tourism businesses printing destination photographs. Any organisation wanting maximum visual impact.

Sublimation typically offers lower minimum orders than screen printing, making it accessible for smaller runs. However, larger orders may benefit from traditional printing methods cost-wise. Discuss your quantity, artwork complexity and budget with our team.
