Looking for a dependable matte black ceramic sublimation mug that consistently delivers sharp color transfers and smooth production runs? This 11–15 oz series is engineered for print quality, durability, and operational efficiency—so your project lands on time and on budget.
Why this mug works for brand programs ✅
The matte exterior isn’t just a style choice; it hides minor scuffs from handling, reduces glare in product photos, and gives a premium tactile feel your customers will notice. Our high-polymer sublimation coating accepts vibrant CMYK graphics at standard press settings (typically 180–200°C, 180–240 seconds depending on press and paper). Expect crisp edges, solid blacks, and stable gradients—even with small text or QR codes.
If you’re planning a collection with multiple SKUs (e.g., seasonal art, team names, limited runs), this model keeps your brand language cohesive while letting designs vary without re-engineering the base product. That means cleaner procurement, leaner inventory, and faster replenishment.
Built for printers and fulfillment teams 🔧
-
Transfer consistency: AAA-grade coating on smooth ceramic yields uniform absorption, reducing reject rates.
-
Two workhorse sizes: 11 oz for large volume promos; 15 oz for premium sets or café resale.
-
Comfort grip & balance: The C-handle and wall thickness are tuned for daily use, with a stable base that suits coaster displays and shelf staging.
-
Packaging options: Choose individual white box for DTC or bulk pack for wholesale programs; drop-tested master cartons minimize breakage in line-haul and last-mile.

Custom options that scale with your brief 🎯
Because every program is different, we prioritize custom as the single procurement focus for this product line:

Color management: ICC-guided sampling for color-critical logos.
-
Interior options: Optional white interior for contrast with darker designs.
-
Accessory bundling: Spoon, silicone lid, coaster, or gift sleeve on request.

MOQ, lead time, and sampling 🗓️
For most custom programs, a practical MOQ is 500–1,000 pcs per design to balance coating runs and packaging efficiency. Pre-production samples (PPS) are available with your final artwork to lock in color and placement before mass production. Standard lead time runs 15–30 days after PPS approval, depending on capacity and peak season. Consolidation services are available if you’re running multiple SKUs or pairing this mug with other merch.
