Mug printing is a popular choice for personalized gifts and merchandise for businesses or events. It allows for creativity and customization making it an effective way to add a personal touch to everyday items.
Mug printing is the process of transferring images, designs, or text onto a mug.
Here’s a basic steps of the mug printing process:
Creating a Design: The process typically begins with the creation of a digital design or artwork. This design can include anything from photos and illustrations to text or logos. Graphic design software like Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator are commonly used to create designs.
Transfer: There are various methods for transferring designs onto mugs, most commonly used is sublimation printing.
Preparing the Mug: Before printing, the mug surface need to be cleaned to remove any dirt or oils that could interfere with the printing process.
Printing: The design is then transferred onto a special sublimation transfer paper that is then applied to the mug.
Heat Application: For methods like sublimation printing heat is applied to the mug using a 3D sublimation press machine. This heat causes the ink or design to bond with the surface of the mug, ensuring a durable and long-lasting print.
