Will It Smash or Stay Intact?
Almost everyone (from Czechia) is familiar with the scene from a Czech film, so let’s take a look at what mugs are made of. The material from which a mug is made can significantly affect its appearance, functionality, and even the taste of the drink. Ceramic is a traditional choice, offering a classic look and good thermal properties. Glass is elegant and allows the user to see the drink inside, while plastic and stainless steel mugs are durable and light. Last but not least, there is also wood or bamboo as an eco-friendly option
Each material has its advantages and disadvantages, and it’s essential to consider which is the best for your needs. While ceramic and glass mugs will give your brand a traditional look, plastic and stainless steel mugs are great for outdoor events or sporting occasions.
By choosing the right material, you not only get a beautiful and functional mug but also a long-term partner for promoting your brand.
