ORCA 11 oz. White Sublimation Ceramic Mug Blanks — Black ORCA Coating - 36/Case
Product Type:
White Mugs
Product Details
xThe ORCA 11 oz white sublimation ceramic mug with Black ORCA coating is our top-grade photo mug, sold 36 per case. Black ORCA delivers deeper blacks, tighter shadow detail and better color hold over time than the standard grade.
Print shops and custom gift businesses reach for this Black ORCA mug when the product is a photograph rather than a graphic, such as pet portraits or memorial pieces. For simple logos the standard coating is fine and cheaper. Start at 360 F for 60 seconds and adjust to your press.
It is one of the best-selling blanks on photousacorp.com. Personalized ceramic mugs commonly sell for $12 to $22; for a pet portrait shop charging, for example, $18 per mug, a case of 36 returns $648 against $67.48 in blanks. The mug ROI guide shows how fast a case pays off.
