If you are reading this post, you are probably thinking about ways to personalise your mugs with a professional finish āļø
In this post we will explain what sublimation mugs are and how to know if they are of good quality to personalise the way you want. They are a basic item for everyday coffee or as a personalised gift for that special someone.
What is a sublimation mug?
What does it mean to personalise mugs with sublimation?
In recent years it has become very popular to make personalised mugs, many of which are made using the sublimation technique. Sublimation is a personalisation method that allows you to transfer a design you have created yourself onto different items, in our case, a mug.
Creative people love this option!
You can make mugs completely to your liking, adding all sorts of messages, names or illustrations and with different finishes, either glossy or matt.Ā You've probably seen mugs with super original designs that can be made using this technique or your Cricut.
What do you need to start sublimating mugs?
If you want to give beautiful and durable mugs, it is very important to pay attention to the quality and finish of the mugs you use.
The first step is to get the protagonist of this project, a ceramic mug.Ā The ceramic mug has to be special for sublimation, otherwise you run the risk of the design losing quality or colour with use.
At Craftelier we have classic and elegant mugs to capture your creations in minutes. Available in a variety of finishes, from plain white or black mugs to different colours on the handles and inside the mug. They have a 350 ml capacity and measure 8 x 9.5 cm.
