FAQs
A magic mug, also known as a heat-sensitive or colour-changing mug, is a type of mug that changes its colour or reveals a hidden design when hot liquid is poured into it. The mug typically has a special coating that reacts to temperature, causing it to shift colours or unveil images, text, or patterns that are not visible when the mug is cold. Magic mugs are popular as novelty gifts, promotional items, or personalised mugs, offering a fun and interactive experience when used.
Heat-changing mugs feature a special coating that reacts to temperature. When hot liquid is poured in, the coating changes colour or reveals a hidden design, and once the mug cools, it returns to its original state. This effect is achieved using thermochromic inks or materials that respond to heat.
Our mugs are printed using a process called sublimation. The design is first printed onto a special transfer paper using sublimation ink, then placed on the mug and heated in a press. The heat causes the ink fuse directly onto the mug's surface, creating a vibrant, durable design that won’t peel or fade.
Our colour change mugs are standard 11oz coffee cups, holding 300ml of liquid.
No, magic mugs are not dishwasher safe due to their heat sensitive coating and should be hand washed only.

To ensure your order is delivered on time, it is important we receive your artwork by the cut-off time indicated on both the product page and basket.
Please note: If your file is submitted after the cut-off time or if corrected artwork isn't provided before the next cut-off time following rejection, it will delay delivery by one working day.
We offer free standard delivery, with optional upgrades available for expedited service, including pre-10:30 AM and pre-12:00 PM for an additional cost.
Uploading heat changing mug artwork is a breeze. After placing your order, click the upload button on the confirmation page. You can also upload your artwork through the Orders tab of "My Account".
All orders will be packaged and shipped in boxes as standard. For larger orders, boxes may be secured and shipped on pallets; you’ll be notified at checkout if this applies. If your delivery address is inaccessible to a tail lift truck, please contact us to discuss alternative delivery arrangements.
Design guidelines
To make artwork setup simple, we recommend downloading the relevant product template from our templates section. Don’t forget to delete the template layer before exporting your design to PDF.
For best printing results, ensure your artwork and images are CMYK. If you use RGB, Pantone or spot colours in any element of your artwork, we will automatically convert them to CMYK which may change your colour profile.
To eliminate any font issues, make sure all fonts are ‘embedded’ or ‘converted to outlines’ before creating your PDF print file. To ensure legibility, we recommend using a minimum font size of 10pt.
For optimal image print quality, ensure all images are 300dpi to 450dpi. Anything lower than 300dpi will give poor image quality. Images higher than 450dpi will result in high file sizes and may cause longer upload times.
To avoid alignment issues during cutting, be sure to include ‘crop marks’ (offset 10mm) and ‘document bleed’ when exporting your artwork file to PDF. Refer to our product templates for the required bleed specifications.
To meet our print requirements, ensure your file is exported in Adobe PDF (Print) format, ideally as PDF/X-1a: 2001.
