What is the Red 16 oz. Ceramic Bistro Mug?
Item LMG62 is a travel mug at 16 oz in ceramic, chosen for how well it takes a mark and how long that mark lasts. It measures 5 1/4" x 4 3/8. This is the red 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. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
A sealed lid and a cup-holder base make this the item that actually leaves the building with your logo on it. On this substrate specifically: 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.
At this price you are buying a reaction rather than an impression. That only works if the list is short enough for the gesture to feel deliberate. 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
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
Production schedule
| Artwork proof | 1 business day from receipt of usable art |
|---|---|
| Standard production | 3 to 5 business days after proof approval |
| Rush production | quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay |
| Ground transit | 1 to 5 business days depending on destination |

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 kitsSpecified regularly for employee welcome kits. The imprint area at 1.6 in x 3.06 in is sized for exactly that job.
Executive and board giftingShort lists, individual personalization, and a piece that survives scrutiny.
Employee milestonesAnniversaries, promotions and retirements: the moments where a personalized object does what an email cannot.
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.
Recruiting and onboardingIncluded in offer packs and first-day kits, where the object is doing culture work from the very first hour.
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
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. Worth personalising individually at this price; the response rate justifies it.
2
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. At 16 oz it suits the way this audience actually uses it. $22.25 before breaks puts this above hand-out territory. Use it that way.
3
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. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. Reserve this for the shortlist and the response changes noticeably.
4
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. A sealed lid and a cup-holder base make this the item that actually leaves the building with your logo on it. Personalise it. At this tier a name is what makes it land.
5
Onboarding & New Hire Kits
Day one sets the tone for everything after it. A welcome kit waiting on a desk, or arriving at a home address before a remote start, is the cheapest culture signal an employer can buy. Items that get used daily do the most work here, because they keep signalling belonging long after week one. 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. Too good to scatter. Pick the recipients deliberately.
6
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. The travel mug format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. Volume takes it to $13.80, which widens the list without cheapening it.
How does ordering and turnaround work?
| Minimum order | 1 piece |
|---|---|
| Setup | None: setup is built into the price |

| Proofing | Proof back to you next business day, and nothing runs until you approve it |
| Re-orders | Artwork kept on file so re-orders run fast and match |
| Shipping | Free ground freight above $250, and we can split a run across individual addresses |
What do buyers ask about LMG62?
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.
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 LMG62 runs from $22.25 a piece at 1-11 down to $13.80 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
How long does production take?
Door to door at standard speed: a day for the proof, 3 to 5 business days in production, then 1 to 5 business days in transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. LMG62 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 see a proof before you produce the order?
Always, and we do not start without written approval. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing. Once approved, the proof becomes the specification for the run, so check the spelling and the placement carefully. The personalization area on LMG62 is 1.6 in x 3.06 in.
How should this be cared for?
Dishwasher and microwave safe unless the item carries a metallic accent. LMG62 measures 5 1/4" x 4 3/8 and is made of ceramic. Ceramic is the substrate people actually keep at a desk. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file.
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 LMG62 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.
What is the minimum order for LMG62?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on LMG62. 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 LMG62 runs from $22.25 a piece at 1-11 down to $13.80 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

| 12 | $20.47 | $5.50 | $25.97 | $311.64 | Free |

- 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.
