Custom mugs start at a minimum order of 25 mugs (108 for dyed), made in Europe in two to four or five weeks. Price depends on decoration more than volume: a printed ceramic mug lands around four to six euros each at volume, engraved or dyed mugs more. They work best in office kitchens, remote-team home kits and welcome boxes, rarely shipped alone. You can preview a design in your colours for free before ordering. Below are the rest of the answers.

Custom mugs: questions answered
What is the minimum order for custom mugs?
The minimum order is 25 mugs for printed custom mugs and 108 for dyed mugs. The low floor on printed mugs makes them easy to test before scaling; dyed mugs need a larger run because colour is taken into the material rather than printed on top.
How much do custom mugs cost?
It depends on decoration more than volume. A full-colour printed ceramic mug lands around four to six euros each at volume, two-tone a little more, and engraved or sandblasted mugs roughly seven to eleven euros because the premium finish is the point. See the bulk pricing guide for the full bands.
How long does it take to make custom mugs?
Standard production is two to four or five weeks from approved design, depending on the decoration. A straightforward print is quickest; engraving, sandblasting and in-material dyeing take longer. The clock starts when you sign off the design, so approve early.

What decoration methods can you use on a custom mug?
Print (full colour), paint or dye, engraving, two-tone with a different inside and outside colour, sandblasting, and in-material pendulum dyeing for a Pantone-in-the-material effect at higher volume. Print is the budget choice; engraving, sandblasting and dyeing are premium with a strong tactile feel.
What are the best custom mugs for employee gifts?
A durable ceramic mug for the office kitchen, or a reusable coffee cup for hybrid and remote staff, both with a clean two or three colour design and proper packaging. Pair it with a pack of coffee rather than shipping it alone. Quality and a personal touch matter more than spend.
Are enamel mugs a good option?
Yes, for the right brand. Enamel cups come from outdoor and camping culture and suit team events, hikes, offsites and outdoorsy brands rather than the office kitchen. They travel well and are pleasant to drink from. For everyday office use, a ceramic mug is the better fit.
Are reusable coffee cups worth it for a company?
Often yes. A branded reusable cup suits hybrid offices, replaces single-use cups, and gets used in public as quiet brand exposure. It is the drinkware whose sustainability comes from daily behaviour, not just material.
Where are custom mugs made?
Sunday's mugs are produced in Europe. For heavy, fragile drinkware that has to arrive intact and on brand, a European supply chain means fewer breakages, tighter quality control and a shorter route than freighting from Asia. It is a practical advantage, not just a label.
Can I order custom mugs in bulk?
Yes, bulk is the norm for branded mugs. The price is driven mainly by decoration method, with volume helping because setup is fixed. Printed mugs start at 25, dyed at 108. The bulk pricing and lead times guide has the full breakdown.
Is a mug a good client gift?
It can be, if you make it special. A standard printed promo mug is too cheap for a client, but a premium engraved or dyed mug, or a small office set with a pack of coffee and nice packaging, makes a thoughtful onboarding gift.
Can I preview a custom mug design for free?
Yes. Use the free mug mockup generator to drop in your logo and see your design in your colours in seconds, with no account needed. A free Sunday account turns it into a real order when you are ready. Browse the catalog or see how it works.
