ORCA 17 oz. Color Changing Latte Mug Blanks - Black - 24/Case
Product Type:
Color Changing Mugs
Product Details
xThe ORCA 17 oz. Color Changing Latte Mug in black is a tall, wide latte-shaped sublimation blank that stays black until a hot drink reveals the print, packed 24 per case.
The latte body is built for milk drinks and leaves more surface for artwork than a standard mug. Because the body is larger, fewer fit in a case, so unit cost runs higher, and so does the retail price it supports. Browse sizes side by side in our wholesale coffee mug guide.

Why order from Photo USA
Print shops and custom gift businesses reach for this latte mug because its size and reveal let them price it as a showpiece rather than a basic mug.
