This is the perfect way for a group to preserve and event or particular organisation by having mugs or glasses printed with their logo and team names etc. It makes a unique keepsake and is a great way for a group to celebrate an achievement.

We have always used the Manyung China coffee mug, which is a creamy white mug and then have printing and artwork of a particular colour with a gold rim. But the choice is up to you. Coloured mugs can be made with gold printing etc. Each year our group has a different picture under our name and the names listed of all the participants, as well as the year. Suitable for sports groups, business logos, special events, even weddings and 21sts as a keepsake. We also got some without names to give as gifts. There are also all sorts of glasses which can be made with an event printed on them. The variations and choice are very wide.

This can also be a fundraising opportunity - put a mark up on the basic mug cost and make some money for your organisation. There are a couple of different price ranges, depending on when you get your order in. The minimum order of mugs is 3 dozen (36) and goes up in dozens after that. Basic cost is around $6.00 - 7.00 per mug.

We have found the staff to be excellent to deal with. They send back the artwork and names to be checked before the mugs are produced. There has always been good communication and if any alterations needed to be made, they were done without a hitch.

And the quality is superb. I always get more than one - one to keep and one to use. I have never had a mug crack, get chipped or break or have their handle come off in more than ten years of ordering. The gold rim tends to wear off a little, but I put it in the microwave, so that's my fault.

It's always an exciting day when our special mugs arrive - posted securely in about 8 weeks from first contact (or sometimes less) and we unpack and distribute them.

Highly recommended.

Approximate cost: $7 per mug
