Frequently asked questions

How do you print on mugs?

During our custom mug printing process your photos are embedded into the ceramic or porcelain through a process known as sublimation that uses heat and special top-quality inks. Imagine a big oven – essentially, your photos are baked into your personalised mugs so they won't come off.

Close
Do personalised mugs get hot?

When you fill them with a hot liquid, our mugs do start to heat up. Our high-quality printing makes the photos on your personalised mug heat-resistant and the sturdy handle will remain cool so that you can sip your hot beverages safely.

Close
How do Magic Mugs work?

We use a special technique called heat reveal technology, which means the heat of your drink will make your picture appear.

Close
Are your mugs dishwasher and microwave safe?

Our ceramic and porcelain mugs are both dishwasher and microwave safe. Our Magic Mug is microwave safe but needs to be hand washed.

Close
How many pictures can I put on my mug?

For the Photo Mug and Porcelain China Photo Mug, one photo. For others, up to 18 pictures per mug.

Close
How much tea or coffee can the mug hold?

Our custom made mugs hold up to 285ml – enough for a really satisfying cuppa.

Close
How to personalise a mug?

Printed mugs just got a whole lot more personal. Using our online editor you can customise your mug with your favourite photos and add eye-catching designs using our colours and themes. You can even add text to create personalised message mugs (just make sure to select a theme that allows for captions).

Personalised heat-changing magic mugs

Make your day a little more magical with a customised heat-changing mug. Fill it with a hot drink and watch your photo magically appear on the surface (no spells needed!). You can add pictures and text to design personalised heat mugs and give a gift with a twist.

Enchanted mornings with personalised magic mugs

Need a little magic in your morning routine or want to plan a creative surprise? Meet our personalised magic mugs. Their surface is completely black while cold, but as soon as they're filled with a hot drink, the thermal coating makes your image appear. And the best thing? You get to decide which image that should be. Design a heat sensitive photo mug with your favourite holiday photo, pet pic or more. And if you can't decide on just one snap, just add up to 20 and create a collage.

Our personalised heat mugs are super versatile and make a great gift for many occasions. From the more obvious ones to the more outside the box ones, we've got some ideas for you:

Morning motivation: design a heat-changing photo mug with a snap that makes you smile or start the day with your favourite quote.
Romantic reveleations: want to surprise your love? A magic cup with a photo that suddenly appears when you make them a cuppa will definitely do the trick. Our tip: a magic photo cup can be a great little helper for your marriage proposal.
Special surprise: put a smile on the faces of the grandparents-to-be with a customised magic cup announcing that a grandchild is on the way. Or why not make the little ones marvel at a magic mug that makes their favourite cartoon character appear?

Is the heat photo mug dishwasher-safe?

No. To keep the amazing heat technology intact, our custom heat mugs are hand wash only, but they're microwafe safe.

Does the image completely disappear when the mug is cold?

When the heat-changing photo mug is cold, your image fades and is only revealed again when the mug is filled with hot water. See? It's just like magic.

How to design your own heat-changing mug

Don't worry, you won't need a wand to design this mug – our editor will do the magic for you. Here's how:

Choose a photo: a romantic photo, a family snap or a picture of your furry friend – you get to decide what's going to appear on your mug.
Personalise your mug: add text and illustrations to create unique magic mug designs.
Order your creation: if you like the result, all you have to do is order your mug and you're done.
