Promotional Travel Mug Key Terms

Learn some key terms for promotional travel mugs

In many different businesses, those tasked with getting the company logo out through personalized or business-branded gifts look for neat solutions, such as promotional travel mugs. Mugs are a great way to get a company logo or image out because they get used so much by the recipients. A mug goes with many workers throughout their daily commute and nearly everywhere they go during a typical work day. For businesses, knowing about some of the basic terms around elements of promotional travel mug design can help managers of branding make good choices.

 

Sip lid

One handy feature for a promotional travel mug is a sip lid. The sip lid keeps hot beverages from splashing around during a hectic commute or a bumpy ride over off-road acreage.

Stainless steel liner

A stainless steel mug provides a lot better protection for long-term use: the drinker doesn't end up with plastics and coffee "mingling." Even a stainless steel liner in a mug will help alleviate this concern. But stainless steel travel mugs, on the other hand, are not microwave-friendly.

Specialty imprinted mugs

Another common idea for travel mugs and other gifts is to have the branding imprinted. This is probably the most common method, but there are many ways to design an imprint.

Promotional tumbler

The old-school travel mug has a cylindrical component and a handle, but some newer, flashier promotional cups are designed without handles; these are often called "promotional tumblers."

Snap-on lids

Promotional mugs can have several different types of lids, including snap-on and screw-on. These can make a difference in convenience for the user, and some reviews of these items talk about how a lid design can make all the difference in usability.
