What is a Rim or Lip Imprint on Mugs?

An inside rim or lip imprint is the branding of your unique design on the inside of your bulk ceramic mugs, near the top rip. It is commonly known as a lip imprint as it is around where a person's lip would be placed when drinking from the mug.

Printing on the Inside of Promotional Mugs

Why Choose to Print on the Lip of a Mug?

The odd placement of the branding on a lip imprinted mug immediately catches the eye of the recipients. Best used in conjunction with a wrap exterior surface print of your logo, rim printing is considered a deluxe additional branding option that allows for maximum branding exposure. Organisations we've worked with in the past have chosen to brand the following on the internal lip of their mugs;

  • Team slogan (for use in a corporate office)
  • Positive or uplifting message (community groups as well as businesses)
  • Alternate brand logo (promotional events)
  • Team mascot or emblem (sports teams and schools)
  • And much, much more!

The approximate printable size for mug lip branding is H12mmx L50mm. This additional print option is available on orders of promotional ceramic mugs of 36 units and above.

How Much Extra Does This Branding Cost?

If you choose this additional print option, the cost will be treated as a further colour print and an extra print set up may apply per design. For this service, we use high fire printing to ensure your print will last a lifetime. Depending on the order volume, the additional cost is between $1.50 to $3.50.
