MUGS
We believe we offer you the most complete and the most flexible mug design service in our Industry. In this section of our Showroom website, we detail numerous examples of our product, both Bespoke and Retail, not merely to whet your appetite for such product for yourselves, but to hopefully sow seeds in your mind as to what you can ask us to do exclusively for you, and how to go about it.
Photographs showing typical examples of recently-produced mugs - to give you some ideas on the scope of possibilities and what you can ask us to do for you - for your fund-raising, for your business promotion, to help you celebrate that special Anniversary, coffee mugs for your restaurant, for your shop sales - whatever it is that you are seeking to do. Most of our mug decoration is via manual application of ceramic decals (waterslide transfers) but we also use digital ceramic printing and direct silk screen printing - whichever process will give you, our Customer, the best possible result. All our decorating is then followed by firing at above 800°C for everlasting permanence and outstanding dish-washer resistance.

We can accept your design in almost any format, digital, or on paper, or on film. On receipt we prepare it for printing, and after receiving your approval that all is as you would wish we use one of three processes to print and apply your design to your chosen mugs
- direct silk screen - where the colour is printed through the screen directly on to the mug. We use this process only for one-colour designs as, with the best will in the world, registration of further colours leaves much to be desired
- traditonal precision silk screen printing of transfers (decals) - our principal method, capable of producing the maximum possible vibrancy from spot (separate) ceramic colours, and near photographic quality too when we use our own precision process colour (CMYK) printing. No upper limit to the number of colours we can print.
- digital printing - particularly suitable for some high resolution decorations at near photographic quality
With each of these processes, the colour pigments we use are finely powdered coloured glasses, and after application to the mugs, we fire at temperatures above 800°Centigrade. This enables us to supply you with a product that is not only beautiful but has maximum durability under all circumstances. No organic colouring pigments or organic glazing resins are used in any of our processing.
All Chown China's decal printing is carried out day in, day out, with this same high degree of precision and attention to detail, and when combined with our high quality in-house artistry, the resulting product is unmatched for value-for-money.
