Are there other methods of printing on a ceramic mug? I've got lots of different ones up in the cupboard, different ranches, companies etc. I don't recall any with a flaking or broken down coating. Course I never looked for it either till now but still not seeing any.
I'm not positive on that front. I suspect there are a number of methods, some more cost effective than others, I imagine. It's entirely possible that my experience was just a one-off deal - no issues with other mugs, aside from cheaply etched ones where a few rounds through the dishwasher scours the logos away. I hand wash only now, especially stuff that I care about preserving.
I tend to hoard mugs and other drinkware. Mugs, in particular are my favorite kind of souvenir and/or swag because I use them all the time and it's a nice way to remember a place where you've been or a product that you appreciate.
Not sure how that all works but I'll look into it next time. I do know the cups were specifically made for sublimation. It looks like issues are possible with that process.
I was recommended to a guy that makes really nice ceramic mugs and presses your logo into them but they definitely weren't cost effective to give away. I think it would have been 40 bucks a piece after shipping them out to you guys, really quality work but man that's a lot of money for just a dang mug!
I never expect handouts so I am quite happy to pay a premium for an awesome mug from an awesome fellow. Let me know if you ever revisit that concept - I'll do my damnedest to be at the head of the line.
