About Bone China Mug Printing

Made from fine bone china, your custom mug is thinner and more elegant than other types of porcelain. It's a naturally strong material with a beautiful glossy non-porous surface, perfect for displaying your art and designs. You can design your own bone china mug in 3 equally sophisticated sizes. They are all straight-edged with slightly different handle shapes so you can choose the right one to suit your personal preference. 

The non-porous surface prevents the buildup of brown stains, making it more hygienic and safe for everyday use. We all have different tastes, which is why it's a good idea to design your own bone china mug and stand out from the crowd.

How It's Made and Printed

Your custom mugs are expertly handmade to order. The specialist bone china mug printing process ensures your designs are bright, vivid and won't fade away. We wrap your design around the face of the mug using digital printing. Because the base tone is a brilliant white, colours really pop and the finished product has a high definition effect. To keep your mug looking brand new for years to come, please follow the care instructions and do not place in the dishwasher. 

Design Tips

Bone china mug printing involves printing your design directly onto the mug, so there will be a slight gap at the handle. We print the whole height of the mug for maximum impact, and this gap is very minimal. If your design features an important detail, we recommend that you place this at the front and not near the handle to guarantee the best results. 

Whether you have an Aztec pattern, a floral design or landscape photography, it'll print brilliantly on a bespoke bone china mug. If you're looking to cultivate a consistent aesthetic around your home, design your own bone china mug and impress your family and friends with your flawless style. They also work really well as finishing touches to business board rooms. Impress clients with your own branded mugs that showcase sophistication and professionalism. Because colours are so intense and bright, they make an alternative 'canvas' for artwork; use bone china mug printing to feature your original pieces.

Please note: Due to the handmade nature of your mug, there may be small lines that form at the base and top of the mug. In order to minimise this effect, we recommend using a pattern instead of a single block colour.

What makes bone china special?

It is a more elegant and refined type of porcelain developed in 1748. It is claimed to genuinely improve the taste of an English cup of tea.

What does non-porous mean?

The non-porous surface means it's entirely smooth, so no bacteria can build up creating that unpleasant brown film you sometimes get.

Can I put it in the dishwasher?

To preserve the print and lifespan of your china mug, we advise to only wash by hand. A 1-year guarantee is offered if care instructions are followed.
