1. Introduction: Why 300 ml Plastic Mugs?
In promotional merchandise, drinkware remains one of the most practical and visible items. A well-branded mug stays on desks, in hands, kitchens, or offices long after an event. The 300 ml Plastic Mug by PrintVolt offers the ideal balance: light, durable, and customizable, making it a go-to for organizations wanting maximum exposure without excessive cost.
Plastic mugs avoid the fragility of ceramic and are safer in environments like schools, outdoor events, or busy offices. They are less likely to chip or break and are easier to ship.

3. Benefits & Use Cases
a) Cost-Effective Branding
Compared to ceramic mugs, plastic ones are often cheaper to produce and ship, especially when ordering in bulk. The savings can be passed to customers or used to increase quantity.
b) Durability
Plastic mugs handle knocks, drops, or rough handling better than ceramic. Ideal for schools, events, or giveaways where durability matters.
c) Safety & Practicality
In environments where breakable items are discouraged—like schools, gyms, or outdoor events—plastic mugs are safer and more practical.
d) Versatility
Use them for staff giveaways, promotional events, educational programs, team kits, or as everyday use mugs in offices and canteens.
e) Branding Exposure
Mugs are seen daily—office desks, cafeteria trays, break rooms. Because they are used repeatedly, your branding gets consistent exposure.
4. Design & Printing Options
Printing Approach
- Spot-colour / screen print: best for logos and flat colours.
- Wrap-around printing: your design can extend fully around the mug’s body.
- Colour matching: specify Pantone or solid colours to align with brand identity.
Artwork Requirements
- Preferred formats: vector (AI, EPS, PDF) to maintain crisp edges.
- Flattened artwork and embedded fonts help avoid alignment issues.
- Ensure safe margins so printing isn’t cut off at edges.
Mock-Up / Proofing Process
Once artwork is submitted, PrintVolt should provide a digital mock-up for your review. Approve or request revisions before full production.
5. Ordering, Production & Delivery

6. Care & Use Recommendations
- Wash gently (hand-wash preferred) to preserve print
