Promotional Drinkware

by Jill Morrison

Promotional drinkware can be purchased to promote a business, service, event, activity, sports team, or school. Many businesses will print company names and logos onto drinkware items and distribute them as gifts at corporate parties or events. Custom logo drinkware can be given to potential customers, valuable clients, or hard-working employees in business. Drinkware items can also be customized as gifts for various holidays or special events. Since they can be decorated in countless ways, custom drinkware is appropriate for almost any occasion.

Types of Promotional Drinkware

Promotional drinkware can be created from many different types of glasses, mugs, and cups. Glassware is a popular gift choice for special occasions. You can imprint glassware with names and dates of events, names of special people, personal messages, or custom graphics. Text or graphics are typically printed on the center of the drinking area or the bottom of glasses. Glassware choices include wine, champagne, margarita, shot, martini, mixing, beer, iced tea, water, hurricane, rocks, and highball glasses.

Mugs and cups can be made from other materials besides glass. For instance, coffee mugs are typically made from ceramic. Ironstone is a popular alternative for custom coffee mugs. Imprinted stadium cups are another option for promotional drinkware. They are cheaper than most other types of drinkware because they are made entirely from plastic. Imprinted Styrofoam cups are another option if you are interested in purchasing large amounts of disposable cups for low price.

Using Custom Mugs as Promotional Drinkware

When creating promotional drinkware designs, most people will choose to use personalized mugs. There are a few different types of mugs to choose from, including beer mugs, coffee mugs, travel coffee mugs, and thermal mugs. Beer mugs are available in various sizes between 12 oz. and 33 oz. Coffee mugs are available in standard 11 oz. sizes or taller 15 oz. sizes. Finally, travel and thermal mugs are available in 14 oz., 16 oz., or 22 oz. styles with drink through lids.

Beer mugs are typically made from thick glass which helps to keep beer cold. Coffee mugs can be made from ceramic or ironstone materials. Travel coffee mugs are typically made from stainless steel and plastic. Thermal coffee mugs have dual wall insulation which keeps hot beverages hot for at least an hour and cold beverages cold for at least two hours. The dual walls also prevent hands from feeling the temperature of beverages or condensation when thermal mugs are held.

Custom beer mugs and coffee mugs are commonly used as promotional drinkware items because they are desirable products by many. Beer mugs are great for parties and for displaying on home bars, shelves or on desks. They can also be used to hold desk supply items such as pens, pencils, scissors, letter openers, and markers. Coffee mugs tend to make better promotional products because coffee mugs are typically used on a daily basis by a large number of Americans. Therefore, there are more opportunities for logos to be seen on coffee mugs.

Customizing Beer Can Coolies

Beer can coolies are made from insulated foam or neoprene and they fit snugly around beer or soda cans. Coolies have the ability to keep beverages cool while keeping your hands warm. They are great alternatives to coasters as well. Beer can coolies can be personalized with names, messages, graphics, slogans, or jokes. They are most commonly printed with company or sports team logos and are commonly given as gifts. Just like customized glasses, cups, or mugs, custom logo coolies are often beneficial in advertising businesses.

Design Choices for Custom Promotional Drinkware

Custom drinkware can be printed with different colors, text styles, graphics, symbols, homemade artwork, or personal photographs. Text and images can be printed on one side of a drinkware item, on two sides, or with a wrap around design. Most companies will choose to simply print their company name and logo on custom mugs. However, for an additional cost, companies can also print their slogans, contact information, or any other information they feel will be beneficial for their businesses.
