Promotional coffee mugs are one of the more popular advertizing products given away daily throughout the world. Like many good ideas the simplest ones are often the most effective. There can be very few items that have the perennial appeal of promotional coffee mugs.

Like many products, the original customized coffee mugs have undergone many changes over the past few years. Originally promotional coffee mugs were simply ordinary stock earthenware white mugs with a screen-printed logo in one or two colors. As promotional and business gifts grew in popularity so did the demand for different shapes, sizes, colors and printing requirements.

Now we have an almost limitless supply of shapes and colors but, most impressive of all, there is the ability to use full color. This ensures that almost any logo can be printed in correct house colors. No longer is the maxim ?near enough is good enough? acceptable on promotional coffee mugs. And if that is not enough current printing techniques now include the ability to print inside the mug.

It?s worthwhile taking a look at the advances seen in the printed coffee mugs market. You can now have an earthenware mug, a bone china mug or a recycled plastic mug; all available in a myriad of colors with spectacular prints. Yet a further option includes custom china coffee cups which hint at slightly more up-market consumers.

Additionally, if you want to advertise your product or service outside the office there are a wide variety of insulated and promotional travel mugs in aluminum, plastic and ceramic with superb print possibilities.

Another significant improvement is the delivery lead time. Just a few years ago it was virtually impossible to get printed mugs in much less than three weeks. Happily most manufacturers have now joined the real world and provide a much more realistic lead time of just a few days.

Also, minimum order quantities are much less onerous and suppliers are happy to provide a minimum order of 72 mugs; beneficial for minor events and smaller companies.

The choice of mug colors is quite remarkable and includes black, grey, yellow, green, light blue, dark blue, ivory, midnight blue, cranberry, red and, of course, the ever popular white.

Standard shapes are equally diverse and will satisfy the most discerning buyer.So much so, that the average personalized business gift brochure does not have room to feature every available possibility.

To cover all options it?s best to get hold of a booklet from one of the manufacturers which illustrate around 16 standard earthenware shapes. These range from the chubby Sparta to the conical shaped Rio which has become quite fashionable, if a little trendy.

Depending on your clientele you may also consider the Café Latte, Quadra or Regal which all appear and have their place in various locations.

Also covered are other noteworthy promotional coffee mugs in fine bone china, heat change mugs, photo mugs, plastic mugs and promotional travel mugs which need, at least a page, of further information to cover all the options available as promotional coffee mugs.
