Each mug is made from durable ceramic and designed to withstand even the most dramatic of mornings.

❔ FAQ ❔

*//** HOW WE USE SUBLIMATION DYE **//*

Dye sublimation is a printing technique used to transfer designs onto ceramic mugs with stunning clarity and colour accuracy. The process begins with a digital image or design being printed onto a specialised sublimation paper using dye-based inks. Next, the printed design is carefully wrapped around the surface of the ceramic mug, ensuring proper alignment and adherence. The mug, along with the wrapped paper, is then placed into a heat press. Under high temperatures and pressure, the dye inks on the paper undergo sublimation, transitioning from a solid to a gas without passing through a liquid state. This gas permeates the polymer coating on the surface of the mug, bonding with the ceramic material at a molecular level.

As the heat press is released and the mug cools, the dye sublimation process is complete, resulting in a permanent, full-colour image embedded into the surface of the mug. The finished product boasts vibrant colours, sharp details, and excellent durability, making it a popular choice for personalised gifts.
