A personalised mug is used every single morning. That is what makes it such a good gift: it is practical, it is personal, and the person who gets it thinks of you with every coffee. At Gribzy you can design a ceramic photo mug yourself for 8.00 €, or let us personalise a glass mug, a latte glass or a beer tankard with your photo, name or logo.

The choice at a glance

Cup Size Best for How you personalise

The photo mug you design yourself

Add a photo, choose a layout (photo all round, photo on both sides, or photo and text), add text such as “World’s best mum”, and check the preview from every side. We print it exactly as it looks.

Personalised glass mugs and glasses

Glass gives a more elegant look. The frosted VERA comes in white or with a soft colour fade, the latte glass has a white print area so colours stay bright, and the beer tankard is a classic for men.

Christmas mug ideas

A mug is one of the most popular Christmas presents because it suits almost everyone and is easy to send.

  • Mum and grandma: a photo mug with the grandchildren all round it.
  • Dad and grandad: a beer tankard with his name, or “Grandad’s tea” on a glass mug.
  • Mulled wine (glögi) evenings: a clear glass mug with your family name and the year, used every Christmas.
  • Teachers and kindergarten staff: a class photo mug as an end-of-term thank-you.
  • Colleagues: a mug with a team joke or the company logo.
  • Hot chocolate for kids: the latte glass with their name and favourite animal.

Remember that every mug is made to order.

Tips

  1. Use a sharp photo with good light. The designer tells you if the resolution is too low.
  2. For wrap-around designs, choose a wide landscape photo.
  3. Keep text big enough to read on a mug: around 10 words at most.
  4. Order identical mugs for teams by adding the same design several times.
  5. Organisations can order with an e-invoice; see e-invoices for schools and institutions.

Frequently asked questions

Is the personalised photo mug dishwasher safe?

Yes. The ceramic mug is microwave and dishwasher safe. The print is sublimated into the glaze, so it won’t peel. Hand washing keeps the colours bright for longer.

How big is the photo mug?

It is a white ceramic mug of 330 ml (11 oz), 9.5 cm tall and 8.2 cm across, printed all the way round except a narrow strip under the handle.

How do I personalise a glass mug or beer tankard?

Write the names, dates or wording you want in the What should we personalise? box on the product page and upload your photo, logo or design. Personalisation is included, and we check every design before production.

What is a good personalised cup for a man?

The 500 ml frosted glass beer tankard with his name or photo is a favourite for birthdays and Father’s Day. For coffee drinkers, the large 450 ml latte glass or a photo mug.

Can I order mugs with a company logo?

Yes. Upload your logo and we print it on mugs or glasses. Schools and organisations can also pay by e-invoice.
