Custom Enamel Mugs with Logo: MOQ, Decals and Lead Time

Short answer: Custom enamel mugs are made by applying a decal with your logo or artwork to the mug and firing it on, so the design becomes part of the enamel. MOQ depends on the mug style and your design, and production usually takes about 20–45 days after sample approval.

Enamel mugs are popular for brands, outdoor companies, cafés and promotional gifts. They are light, durable and have a classic look that people keep using for years. This guide covers what you need to know before ordering.

How the logo is applied: fired-on decals

Logos and patterns on enamel mugs are usually applied with decals. Your artwork is printed on decal paper, applied to the mug by hand and then fired at high temperature. The design fuses with the enamel surface, so it does not peel off like a sticker. Learn more in our guide to custom decals on enamelware.

Decals can carry full-color artwork, fine lines and small text, so they suit both simple logos and detailed illustrations.

Choose the mug style

• Size: the most popular mugs are 8, 9 and 10 cm in diameter. See our enamel mug sizes guide.
• Rim: a stainless steel rim gives a modern look; a colored rim (black, blue or gold-look) gives the classic camping style.
• Body color: white is the most common base for logos. Other colors can be matched to a Pantone code.
• Finish: solid, speckled or two-tone.

What affects MOQ and price

• The mug style and size, and whether it uses an existing mold.
• The number of decal positions (front only, front and back, or wrap-around).
• A custom body color or rim color.
• Packaging: bulk carton, individual color box or gift box.

Because these factors vary, the MOQ is agreed for each project. Tell us your quantity and design, and we will suggest the most suitable option.

Prepare your artwork

• Send vector files (AI, PDF or SVG) if possible.
• Give Pantone codes for brand colors.
• Tell us the logo size and position, and whether you need artwork on both sides.
