What is the Blue 11 oz. Round Ceramic Mug?
A working travel mug at 11 oz. Glazed ceramic with a smooth, non-porous drinking surface. It measures 3 3/4". This is the blue 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.
A sealed lid and a cup-holder base make this the item that actually leaves the building with your logo on it. 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.
This is the workhorse tier: the price point where an item is good enough to be kept but affordable enough to order in real quantity. Most successful programs live here. Concretely: $15.25 each at 1-11, $9.46 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 2.63 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
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- Vector artwork (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) reproduces best at every size and is what we ask for first.
- Send the file you have, even if it is imperfect. We will tell you honestly whether it will hold up and redraw it if it will not.
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.

Common uses
CommutingA natural fit for commuting, which is one of the settings this travel mug was specified for.
Field and route workA natural fit for field and route work, which is one of the settings this travel mug was specified for.
Employee welcome kitsEmployee welcome kits is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Booth and trade show handoutsThe item that gives someone a reason to stop walking, and a reason to remember which booth it came from.
Community and civic eventsLocal sponsorships and volunteer thanks, where visible presence matters more than volume.
Remote team welcome kitsShipped to a home address, which for a distributed team is the only physical touch the company gets.
Safety and quality milestonesMarking a record that took every person on the floor to achieve, with something they can point at.
Event and conference giftingHanded to qualified conversations rather than to everyone, so the spend goes where the pipeline is.
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
Healthcare & Senior Living
Healthcare buyers screen for practicality and hygiene before they screen for design. Shift work changes the specification. Items are carried between home, locker and ward, so anything that leaks, breaks or cannot go through a dishwasher gets abandoned within a fortnight regardless of how good it looked at the point of purchase. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. At $9.46 in volume the cost per kept item is hard to beat.
2
Onboarding & New Hire Kits
Day one sets the tone for everything after it. Split the kit by what it signals. One item should be genuinely useful on day one, one should be shareable outside work, and one should carry the name of the team rather than the company. That mix does more for belonging than a single expensive piece. An imprint area of 1.6 in x 2.63 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Roughly 38% comes off between one piece and a full run.
3
Construction, Trades & Field Services
On a job site, an item survives or it disappears. Durability is the whole specification: insulated drinkware that shrugs off a truck bed, headwear that lives outdoors, and decoration that cannot scrape off. Crew gifting in this sector is a retention tool in a labour market where retention is expensive. At $15.25 before breaks this is the tier most programmes should live in.
4
Corporate Gifting & Client Appreciation
Client gifting has one job: to be kept. Timing beats budget in this segment. The same gift sent a week after a renewal lands completely differently from one sent in December with four hundred others, because in January it is the only thing on the desk. Buy for the calendar you control rather than the one everybody shares. At 11 oz it suits the way this audience actually uses it. Good enough to be kept, affordable enough to order in real quantity.
5
Automotive & Dealerships
Delivery day is the highest-emotion moment in the customer relationship. Anything that goes in or on a vehicle gets judged against the vehicle. A cheap keychain handed over with a car undercuts the purchase in a way that giving nothing would not, which makes this one of the few segments where under-spending is the bigger risk. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. This is the sweet spot: real perceived value without a procurement conversation.
6
Technology, SaaS & Startups
Distributed teams have no office to carry the culture, so the objects have to. Shipping a considered kit to a home address is now a standard part of remote onboarding, and it is the rare marketing spend that shows up in retention numbers. Ship-safe materials matter more here than in any other segment. A sealed lid and a cup-holder base make this the item that actually leaves the building with your logo on it. $15.25 before breaks buys something people keep rather than bin.

What do buyers ask about LMG23?
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows more than 1,000 of LMG23 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.
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 LMG23 runs from $15.25 a piece at 1-11 down to $9.46 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $12.20 a piece. The published ladder on LMG23 runs from $15.25 a piece at 1-11 down to $9.46 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout.
Can you work to a fixed in-hand date?
Yes. Give us the in-hand date and checkout tells you immediately whether standard production makes it. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
Is there a setup charge?
There is no setup charge, ever. Art preparation, machine setup and the proof are part of the price on this page. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.
What happens if something arrives damaged?
Tell us within 10 days of delivery and we replace it. Note any damage on the freight bill before you sign for it, because that is what the carrier claim turns on. Resolving it with the carrier is our job, not yours. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.
How is this decorated?
We run dye sublimation on LMG23 as standard. Full-color artwork embedded in the surface rather than sitting on top of it. We can also run UV Printing on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on LMG23 is 1.6 in x 2.63 in. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
What is the minimum order for LMG23?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on LMG23. 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 LMG23 runs from $15.25 a piece at 1-11 down to $9.46 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

- Ground freight is free from 24 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 1.6 in by 2.63 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 83% 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.
