• Mugs Glorious Mugs

    Posted by Emily on May 14, 2009 at 12:11 pm

    looking for a supplier of mugs, I have bought some of my own from Dom global, but as someone has pointed out these are possibly the reason i’m having issues. I found out today that the Uni use Everest for mugs, these seem good and print perfect but are very easy to crack, and i know i’ve done a few, lol 😀 so what i am looking for is company who can supply mugs. Dom Global cost me £150 for 120, although these were not for me, they for Uni, however i have used a few and i think this is the reason i am getting a blurred/flaming effect.

    any idea’s…. Emily

    BMS, Subli supplies, Listawood, Xpres.

    Out of Gordon’s above list I would reckon Listawoods mugs are probably most consistent. I was a big fan of Xpres mugs but over the last 6 months they have been getting worse.

    £150 for 120 seems expensive. I assume you have included vat and delivery in that price as well. £135 at most all in for a decent 120 mugs would be achievable.

    I usually use BMS and have had very few problems, I would use Listawood but they don’t take Paypal.

    I use xpres and never had one single problem just printed 75 fora firm and all came out good not one reject.
    BMS are ok too, never tried listawood.

    I did a trial a while back and got sample mugs from just about every company selling them in the UK. The Listawood were by far the best in terms of straightness/whiteness etc.

    I’ve also done extensive dishwasher tests on printed mugs and these remain perfect after many many washes.

    my step dad and brother have been having issues with a certain company (remain nameless) basically he has been ordering from this company for months and explained that there was a problem with the mug and they wasn’t happy. the guy in charge has said this is a matter of opinion, i find this laughable. Anyway i am trying to source 11oz mugs for them both, they live on the Isle of wight, so any carrige would have to match what they are curently paying. i told my step dad i was a member on here and he asked me to ask for him, so here goes, they want 11oz mugs, they pay
    about £95 for 72 to the island(including carriage), if anyone can match that please tell me.

    I prefer 10oz mugs as well. Surprised you are having problems with BMS as they are very helpful and usually a decent supplier.

    i can’t really mention who it is as my dad has requested that i don’t, but now i’m involved i’ve got a good mind to ring them up. You see my dad is too good natured for his own good, i know because he spends a fortune on me! lol but i feel he’s been ripped of by this company so i am going to try and sort him out with some stuff. We’ve ordered some mugs from the Magic Touch to see how they get on with those. 😀
