Designing a Mug

Design Placement for mugs

You can choose where your design will be printed on the mug:

Left of the handle → Often chosen if you want the logo or text to be visible for a right-handed user
Right of the handle → Ideal if you want the design to be visible for a left-handed user
Centered opposite the handle → The design is placed directly opposite the handle and is clearly visible while drinking
Panoramic (full wrap design) → Your design covers a large portion of the mug (within the print area boundaries)

Tips

Keep a 5 mm margin within the print area to prevent important elements like text or logos from being too close to the edge or cut off
Use bright, high-contrast colors
White is not a printable color on mugs — white areas will always appear as the color of the mug itself
Always use a resolution of 300 DPI to ensure a sharp print
Do not mirror your design — we will process the artwork correctly for printing

Understanding the Print Area

The mug print area can be divided into three equal sections:

The green areas represent the visible sides of the mug when held in the left or right hand
The blue area is located directly opposite the handle
