Mug Logos: Wraps That Survive Dishwashers Daily
Mug logos need sublimation wraps that survive dishwashers, so design bold art for curved ceramic zones.
Wraps that survive dishwashers
Sublimation inks fuse into polymer coating at 200 degrees and survive 1000 dishwasher cycles with 95 percent color retention. Stickers and vinyl peel after 20 hot washes, while kiln-fired decals last 5 years in busy office kitchens.
Curved 11 ounce mugs offer a 20 by 8 centimeter wrap zone where bold marks read from 3 meters away. Make the logo online with a horizontal wrap preview and keep key type 15 millimeters from handles and rims.
Sublimation specs for mugs
Export art at 300 dpi across 2700 by 1000 pixels with 3 millimeter bleed for full-bleed 11 ounce templates. Use bold sans type above 14 points and 2 high-contrast colors because thin lines blur on curved ceramic during pressing.
Press for 60 seconds at 200 degrees with medium pressure, then cool 5 minutes before boxing singles in kraft. Test 2 samples through 10 dishwasher runs before ordering 200 units.
