Branded mugs have been a reliable promotional tool for decades, and for good reason. They offer the perfect balance of practicality, longevity, and cost-effectiveness.
Whether purchased for use in an office setting, handed out at an event, or given away to visitors at reception, branded mugs provide unmatched visibility at a fraction of the cost of traditional advertising.
But how do you order bulk mugs while ensuring quality, affordability, and on-time delivery? Worry not. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of this topic, ensuring you are fully equipped with the knowledge required to capitalise on the endless branding and promotional opportunities branded mugs offer your business.
Let’s get straight into it.
By ordering branded mugs in bulk, you can take advantage of numerous benefits, including:
Put simply, the more units you order, the cheaper each unit will be. Most custom-printed mug printers offer attractive quantity-based discount structures, allowing you to get more bang for your buck as your order volume increases. This option is perfect for clients who want to order large quantities at once, such as schools, event management companies, and large corporate businesses.
Most people see a mug as just a cheap piece of merchandise—however, this couldn’t be further from the truth. As print manufacturers specialising in promotional goods, we know firsthand how potent incorporating mugs into your marketing and branding strategy can be.
Don’t just take our word for it. Research conducted by Laser Crystal found that the average person keeps their printed mugs for over 5 years, maximising impression counts and keeping your brand top of mind. You simply cannot purchase another promotional tool with this type of longevity anywhere else.
Branded Mugs are highly versatile and can be used in various settings and functions. From corporate gifting to promotional giveaways, they perfectly balance impactfulness, everyday practicality and affordability.
If you’re curious to know exactly what price you’ll be charged for your mug order, it is essential to note that several factors combine to influence the price you’ll be charged for your order. These are:
As mentioned, the quantities ordered are a major driving factor of price. To provide a rough example of how manufacturers handle different volumes, here’s an entirely transparent breakdown of how we price one of our most popular branded mug options –
| Quantity | Price per Mug |

| 25-50 | £5.45 |

| 100-200 | £3.33 |
Following on from the quantities ordered, another crucial factor influencing your cost is the printing method employed by your chosen manufacturer. Generally speaking, two key types of printing technologies are used for mug printing. These are:
Finally, the final key factor in play is the type of mug you are after. There are many options on the market, some catering to cheaper prices and others catering for more premium requirements. Some of the most popular types are as follows:
In addition to mug types, additional customisation options are available that may influence pricing. For example, double-sided prints and variable data jobs (personalised names/pictures) will increase the cost.
