ORCA 11 oz. Metallic Silver Sublimation Mug Blanks - 36/Case
Product Type:
Metallic Mugs
Product Details
xPrint shops and custom gift businesses reach for the ORCA 11 oz. metallic silver sublimation mug for corporate promotion, because a logo on metallic reads more premium than the same logo on white for very little extra cost. It ships 36 per case, one finish per case.
Silver gives a print a cool brushed-metal cast. Single-color logos and monograms land crisply, while full-color photos come out muted, so most decorators skip portrait work on it. We recommend hand washing to protect the finish, though the print holds up in a dishwasher.
