How to Print on a Color Changing Mug – Step-by-Step Guide
Printing on a color changing sublimation mug is a fun and creative process that's ideal for custom gift makers, printing businesses, and promotional product suppliers. Here’s how you can do it yourself:
✅ Step 1: Prepare Your Design
Create your artwork using any graphic design software (e.g., Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop). Make sure to mirror your design before printing it. Use sublimation ink and print on sublimation transfer paper for best results.
✅ Step 2: Wrap the Mug with Transfer Paper
Take your blank color changing mug (typically coated in black, red, or blue heat-sensitive material) and wrap your printed sublimation paper around it. Secure it firmly using heat-resistant tape to prevent shifting during pressing.
✅ Step 3: Use a Mug Heat Press Machine
Place the wrapped mug into a heat press machine for mugs. Set the temperature to around 180–200°C (356–392°F) and press for 180–200 seconds, depending on your equipment.
✅ Step 4: Cool and Reveal the Print
Carefully remove the mug and let it cool. Once cooled, remove the sublimation paper. When hot liquid (e.g., coffee or tea) is added, the mug’s coating becomes transparent, and your design will appear magically.
Tips for Best Results:
Always use coated sublimation mugs designed specifically for heat transfer.
Allow mugs to cool fully before packaging.
Hand-washing is recommended to preserve the thermochromic coating.
For business use, we recommend ordering 330ml blank color changing mugs in bulk.
Color Changing Sublimation Mug (330ml)-FAQ
1. How does the color changing mug work?
The mug is coated with a heat-sensitive (thermochromic) layer that appears black, red, or blue when cold. When hot liquid is poured in, the coating becomes transparent and reveals the printed design underneath.
2. Can I print my own design on this mug?
Yes. These mugs are sold blank and ready for sublimation printing. You can use a heat press and sublimation ink to transfer your artwork onto the mug.
3. What is the capacity of this mug?
Each mug holds 330ml (approximately 11oz) — a standard size ideal for coffee, tea, or promotional giveaways.
4. What color options are available?
We offer this mug in black, red, and blue coatings. Black is the most popular option among wholesale buyers and printers due to its dramatic contrast when the image appears.
5. Is the mug microwave or dishwasher safe?
We recommend hand washing only to preserve the integrity of the heat-sensitive coating. Not all color-changing coatings are microwave safe, especially after printing.
6. Who typically buys this product?
This mug is ideal for sublimation printing businesses, custom gift shops, event branding, and promotional product resellers who want to add a fun and interactive product to their catalog.
