ORCA 16 oz. Glossy Ceramic Latte Mug Blanks - 24/Case
Product Type:
White Mugs
Product Details
xThe ORCA 16 oz ceramic latte mug is a tapered sublimation blank offered in glossy or matte, 24 per case. Glossy gives deeper color for photo work, while matte has a soft stone feel suited to minimalist and neutral-toned designs.
Matte costs a little more to produce and reads as the premium option, so the difference is easy to pass on at retail. The straight tapered walls wrap artwork with minimal distortion. On matte, keep colors muted, because loud saturated designs fight the finish. Preheat the blank at 350°F (180°C) for 120 to 180 seconds, then press for 10 to 15 seconds.
Latte mugs commonly sell for $12 to $22; in an example at $22, 24 glossy mugs bring $528 on an $83.04 case, per our coffee mug guide.
