If you’re planning a campaign that needs wow-factor on first sip, the 11oz magic color-change sublimation ceramic mug delivers exactly that. At room temperature, the cup looks like a sleek matte black mug. Pour in hot water, coffee, or tea, and the heat-sensitive layer fades to reveal your full-color artwork—logos, patterns, even small text—printed via high-yield sublimation.

Built for consistent, scalable decoration 🔧

Our Grade-A porcelain body pairs with a AAA high-polymer coating engineered for transfer uniformity. That means crisp edges, saturated colors, and stable gradients across the whole wrap—even when you run variable names or QR codes for limited drops. Typical press settings (for reference) are 180–200°C for 180–240 seconds, but we’ll help you fine-tune based on your paper, ink, and press.

• Production-friendly: Smooth rims and handles minimize tape snagging and jig misalignment.

• Low reject rates: Even coating ensures consistent activation of the heat-sensitive layer and clean color reveal.

• Retail-ready: The “surprise” reveal boosts perceived value and unboxing excitement for DTC and gift channels.

The “magic” layer, explained ✨

The exterior black layer is thermo-chromic. When liquid temperature reaches roughly 45–50°C, the black mask becomes transparent, allowing your sublimated design to appear. As the mug cools, the design gradually hides again. This dynamic effect makes the mug perfect for campaign launches, influencer kits, café merch, and corporate gifting where engagement matters.

Custom options that matter for brands 🎯

For this SKU, we emphasize supplier support end-to-end—sample to scale:

• Artwork: Full wrap or spot print; support for pantone-critical logos through ICC-guided sampling.

• Versioning: Batch split by names/IDs for events, loyalty tiers, or regional SKUs.

• Interior options: Black or white interior; gift sleeves, lids, coasters, or spoon add-ons available.

• Packaging: Individual retail boxes (plain/printed), barcode/EAN/FNSKU, and carton labeling per channel.

• Documentation: Food-contact glaze records; inspection photos and AQL reports for large orders.

MOQ, lead time, and logistics 🗓️

A practical MOQ is 500–1,000 pcs per design to balance coating runs and packing efficiency. Pre-production samples confirm layout and color before mass production. Typical lead time is 15–30 days after PPS approval, with faster lanes during non-peak periods. We can consolidate multiple SKUs into fewer pallets for export cost efficiency, and we provide breakage-control carton engineering suited to courier or FBA models.

Quality & durability you can measure 📊

• Coating grade: AAA for reliable transfer density and edge definition.

• Thermal cycling: Designed for daily use; hand-wash recommended to preserve the thermo-chromic layer’s life.

• Transit performance: Drop-tested master cartons and corner protection reduce in-transit losses—critical for e-commerce replenishment.

• Traceability: Batch codes on cartons; inspection snapshots available for each lot.

Who benefits most

• Promo & merch agencies seeking a hero item with interactive value.

• Cafés/roasters adding private-label mugs with memorable customer experience.

• Corporate programs where personalization and reveal effect increase engagement.

• Retail/DTC brands launching seasonal drops or influencer collaborations.
