What is the Black 16 oz. Ceramic Bistro Mug?
Black 16 oz. Ceramic Bistro Mug. A travel mug at 16 oz in ceramic, specified for decoration and for daily use rather than for a display shelf. It measures 5 1/4" x 4 3/8". This is the black colorway.
Ceramic is the substrate people actually keep at a desk. It holds heat well, it is microwave and dishwasher safe in most configurations, and it does not impart any flavour.
Dye-sublimation bonds full-color artwork into the glaze rather than sitting on top of it, so photographs, gradients and exact brand colors all reproduce. And the result survives the dishwasher. A sealed lid and a cup-holder base make this the item that actually leaves the building with your logo on it.
Gift tier. The economics stop being about impressions and start being about the specific relationships you spend it on. Concretely: $22.25 each at 1-11, $13.80 at 500+.

Decoration options
The decoration method is chosen to match the substrate, which is why the mark is permanent rather than printed on top of it. Standard imprint area on this item is 1.6 in x 3.06 in.
Dye Sublimation
Heat converts solid dye to gas, which bonds into a polyester coating or ceramic glaze. Full-color artwork embedded in the surface rather than sitting on top of it.
Best for
Full-wrap photographic decoration on mugs, coated drinkware and coated metal.
Color
Full color. Cannot print white. The substrate supplies white.
UV Printing
UV-cured ink is jetted directly onto the product and cured instantly under ultraviolet light. Full-color, photographic-quality artwork with hard edges and no dot gain.
Best for
Multi-color logos, gradients, photographs and exact brand-color matching.
Color
Full color, including white ink on dark substrates.
Artwork requirements
- If the logo is only available as a bitmap, we need it at 300 dpi or better at final size, ideally on a transparent background.
- Vector artwork (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) reproduces best at every size and is what we ask for first.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.

Common uses
CommutingCommuting is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Field and route workSpecified regularly for field and route work. The imprint area at 1.6 in x 3.06 in is sized for exactly that job.
Employee welcome kitsWorks well for employee welcome kits, where the travel mug format does what a printed handout cannot.
Internal contests and incentivesA tangible prize outperforms a gift card for exactly the reason you would expect. It stays on the desk.
Community and civic eventsLocal sponsorships and volunteer thanks, where visible presence matters more than volume.
Fundraising and donor recognitionThanking the people who gave, in a form that quietly encourages the next person to.
Customer loyalty tiersA physical marker of status that an account dashboard cannot replicate.
Where this works best
The same item lands differently depending on who gets it and why. Here is how this one performs across the programs it sells into most.
1
Construction, Trades & Field Services
On a job site, an item survives or it disappears. Crews compare what they were given. Handing out two grades of the same item across a site causes more friction than giving nothing at all, so buy one specification deep rather than two shallow. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. The gesture is the product here. Spend the thought, not just the budget.
2
Corporate Gifting & Client Appreciation
Client gifting has one job: to be kept. The recipient is rarely the decision maker you are trying to reach, which is the part most programs get wrong. Choose something that will sit in a shared space rather than a drawer, and the gift starts working on people who were never on your list. An imprint area of 1.6 in x 3.06 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. At $22.25 before breaks, name the recipients rather than filling a table.
3
Automotive & Dealerships
Delivery day is the highest-emotion moment in the customer relationship. A keychain, a tumbler or a desk piece handed over with the keys attaches itself to that memory. Service-department giveaways work on a different logic, frequency, not sentiment, so unit cost matters far more there. This reads as a gift. Give it to people you chose, not people who walked past.
4
Technology, SaaS & Startups
Distributed teams have no office to carry the culture, so the objects have to. Shipping is the hidden cost and the hidden failure. An item that arrives damaged or takes three weeks to reach a remote hire does the opposite of what it was bought for, so pack weight and carrier reliability belong in the specification. At 16 oz it suits the way this audience actually uses it. Worth personalising individually at this price; the response rate justifies it.
5
Healthcare & Senior Living
Healthcare buyers screen for practicality and hygiene before they screen for design. Patient-facing and staff-facing items are different purchases and should be budgeted separately. What works as a staff appreciation piece often reads as inappropriate in a waiting room, and the reverse is true just as often. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. $22.25 before breaks puts this above hand-out territory. Use it that way.
How does ordering and turnaround work?
| Minimum order | 1 piece |
|---|---|
| Setup | None: setup is built into the price |
| Freight | Free ground freight above $250, and we can split a run across individual addresses |
| Rush service | Rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before payment |
| Proofing | Proof back to you next business day, and nothing runs until you approve it |
| Re-orders | We keep the approved file, so a re-order reproduces it exactly |
| Shipping | Free ground freight above $250, and we can split a run across individual addresses |
What do buyers ask about LMG61?
Can I mix colors or sizes to reach a quantity break?
Yes, provided the artwork stays the same across the run. Different artwork is fine as well: it gets its own proof, and setup stays free. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The published ladder on LMG61 runs from $22.25 a piece at 1-11 down to $13.80 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on LMG61 is 1.6 in x 3.06 in. If your mark does not sit well in that shape we redraw or re-proportion it and show you the result on the proof before anything is produced. Engraving is charged on the share of the area your artwork covers, so a smaller mark costs less.
What artwork do you need from me?
Send vector if it exists, raster at 300 dpi if it does not, and whatever you have if neither. The personalization area on LMG61 is 1.6 in x 3.06 in, and we redraw or re-proportion anything that will not survive it. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
Do you ship to multiple addresses?
Yes, through a quote. Card checkout ships one order to one address, so for a split run send the address list with a quote request and we confirm the freight for every destination in writing before you pay. The artwork is proofed once and applied across the whole run. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. LMG61 sells from a single unit at $22.25, the first rung of its published ladder, so a sample is simply a normal order. A decorated single piece goes through the same proof as a full run.
Can I order more later and have them match?
Yes. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file. Material batches can vary slightly on natural materials, which is worth knowing if color matching across orders is critical. The published ladder on LMG61 runs from $22.25 a piece at 1-11 down to $13.80 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows more than 1,000 of LMG61 in stock as of the last hourly sync. If a color is short we say so the day you order rather than the week before the deadline. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
What is the minimum order for LMG61?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on LMG61. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The price per piece only goes down as the quantity rises. The published ladder on LMG61 runs from $22.25 a piece at 1-11 down to $13.80 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

- Ground freight is free from 12 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 1.6 in by 3.06 in. Engraving is charged on the share your artwork actually covers, so a smaller logo costs less. Place yours on the product above and the price updates as you size it.
- At 50 pieces this costs less than 70% of the 532 other priced items in Drinkware.
- The table starts at 12 because below that the engraving setup costs more than the goods, and we will not guess at a price there. Ask us and we will quote a smaller run from your artwork.
- Setup is free at every quantity, including 12.
