Hot hot hot! The Stanley® Adventure Quencher 40 oz. Travel Tumbler is the most popular beverage container on the block. Why has this specific tumbler taken over you may ask? First of all, it is HUGE. With the capacity of 40 oz., you can easily keep up with your daily water goals and stay hydrated without having to keep refilling it. Despite it’s large size, it conveniently slims down at the bottom to perfectly fit into your cup holder. The handle is the icing on the cake, making them easy to hold despite their size. You can easily bring it along on all of your adventures and road trips!

What also makes this Stanley® Tumbler so great is all of the benefits that come along with the brand. First of all, there is a lifetime warranty (love that). Whether you’re drinking coffee so hot it burns, or like me, still drinking iced macha tea lattes in the freezing Minnesota winter, this product will keep your beverage at the right temp! It keeps liquids hot for up to 7 hours and cold for up to 11 hours, with up to 2 days ice retention. Last but not least, the lid features positions for your convenience: A straw opening, a sip-through opening, and a full-cover closed top.

These are even customizable, with either laser engraving or a colored pad print! You can add your logo, to make a great gift for your employees to rep your company with pride.

Howdy partner! Looking to add a western touch to your event? These Cowboy Boot Shaped Plastic Auction Paddles are the perfect way to spice up your rodeo, hoedown, or country themed auction/fundraising event. The paddles can be numbered consecutively on one or both sides (see image below for the Cattle Baron’s Ball), making them both fun and functional!

These are printed on white corrugated plastic, and can be done in full color over the entire shape. So you can completely customize these to your theme and brand. Either submit premade artwork, or give us your logo and let us run with it to create a custom design!

Since these are cut from corrugated plastic material they are stronger than cardboard or paper stock-based fans with an added bonus of being weather (water) resistant. These are better than paperboard because they are waterproof and can be wiped clean if they are spilled on. They can generate a good breeze, and can be used as hand fans to keep you cool on hot days, at steamy wedding venues, etc.

So giddy up and pull the trigger on these Cowboy and Cowgirl Boot Shaped Plastic Auction Paddles that are sure to be a wow factor at your event!

This entry is long as we wanted to cover the subject well. Contact us if you are getting a mug or glass and want to make sure you are getting an imprint method that is designed to not come off in the dishwasher.

Having a custom printed logo on a mug or glass stand up to being in a dishwasher is surprisingly complicated. You need to make sure the ink used in the imprint will not break down, that its bond to the drinkware will not fail (scratch-off), and that the surface of the mug or glass will not wear off or break down in the dish washer. If someone is using a citrus-based booster/cleaner like Lemi Shine it can eat away at the surface of the mug and almost any type of imprint can come off with enough washes (or in some cases 1 wash). Because of this, we will not guarantee anything for being dishwasher safe, but we will help you find the item that will work best for your type of use and help you understand what type of washing it is designed to handle. If you need a cheap coffee mug to hand out at a low cost and don’t care if the recommendation is for it to be hand-washed, we have options for you. We can also get you a diner mug designed to be used in a restaurant and washed several times a day in a high temp commercial dishwasher or glassware sanitizer.

Here are the methods that most ceramic, porcelain and glass drinkware are decorated with:

1. Flash cure (low temp, normally under 300 degrees) and UV cured inks. They are normally not designed for ceramic and glass drinkware and should be hand washed only, but many cheap mugs are done this way as you can cure the inks with the same low-cost equipment that is used for t-shirt printing.
2. 2-part epoxy inks. These offer moderate dishwasher resistance but are still fast and cheaper to print with since they don’t require specialized curing equipment.
3. Digital dye-sublimation printing. This is one of the newest imprint methods and offers full color imprinting with a larger (sometimes full) coverage at a very affordable price. A polyester finish is applied to the mugs at the factory and a digital imprint of your design is printed on a transfer medium that is taped onto the mug. The mug is then run through an oven. At high temps, the inks are melted off of the transfer sheet and absorbed by the polyester finish on the mugs. Sublimation imprints are safe for washing on the top rack of a residential dishwasher with standard detergents. See our recommended Full Color Dye-Sublimation Imprinted Mugs & Glasses.
4. Kiln/Lehr high-temp fired inks. These inks are designed to be printed on ceramics and glass and are cured in an oven at 900-1200+ degrees after being applied by a screen print or ceramic transfer (used for multiple colors or full color logos). They will stand up to a normal detergent in the top rack of a residential dishwasher. See our recommended Ceramic Mugs Printed w/ High Temp Ink. 

Commercial dishwashers & sanitizers used in restaurants, diners, and some commercial buildings are very hard on drinkware as they use a much higher water temperature that can cause flash steaming in the pores of standard enamel and glaze mug finishes and imprints. This causes little explosions on the surface of the mug or imprint. Ink can not stick to a mug if the surface is flaking out from under it. To combat this problem we offer Vitrified Ceramic and Porcelain Mugs. These mugs use a purer clay mix and are kiln-fired to a much higher temperature when they are manufactured. This makes the ceramic body so much harder and dense, that it becomes glass-like, or vitrified. Most importantly, this high temp cure brings the glaze finish to a near liquid state that fuses/mixes it into the ceramic and makes the surface very smooth and free of pores that absorb water. A vitrified mug printed with a high temp cured ink will give you the most dishwasher-safe custom printed mug available. We also offer a Heat Treat Pint Glass that offers some of the same benefits as a vitrified tumbler.

If you have any questions or need help figuring out which imprint method is correct for your application and budget please contact us and we will be happy to help.
