A printed mug is one of the easiest personal gifts to give and one of the easiest pieces of branding to hand out. Families in Oakville, Mississauga and Burlington order mugs with a favourite photo for birthdays, holidays and anniversaries, while shops, clinics and trades order them with a logo for staff and loyal customers. We print your design and ship it across Canada and the USA, or arrange pickup in Oakville.
What you can put on a mug
- A photo: a family picture, a pet, a trip or a keepsake image.
- A logo or business name: a clean, simple way to carry your brand into someone's kitchen or office.
- Text and names: a short message, a team name, a date or an inside joke.
- Artwork: an illustration or pattern you created or commissioned.
Mug styles, colours and quantities vary, so ask us what is available when you request a quote. Tell us whether you need one mug or a group, and we will go over the options with you.

Tips for great results
Start with the best image you have. Use the original photo from your camera or phone rather than a screenshot or a copy from social media, because compressed images lose detail and the loss shows once printed. A logo saved as a vector file, such as a PDF, AI or EPS, stays sharp at any size.
Keep the design simple. A mug is a curved surface that people hold and turn, so bold shapes and short, large text read better than small print. Leave a little space around the edges and around the handle area so nothing important is hidden. Check spelling, dates and names carefully before you send the file.
Colours on a screen can look brighter than ink on a printed surface. If a particular colour matters, such as a brand colour, tell us before printing. Our file setup guide explains the basics, and our article on print-ready files, bleed, CMYK and resolution goes into more detail. Planning gifts for a whole team? Pair mugs with custom shirts in the same design, and read our guide to print marketing for small business for more ideas.
Can I put my own photo on a mug?
Yes. Send us the original photo and we will tell you whether it will print well. A sharp, well-lit picture gives the best result.
Can I order a mug with my business logo?
Yes. Send your logo, ideally as a PDF or a vector file, and tell us how many mugs you need. We will quote it and confirm the layout with you.
Can I match my mugs with shirts or stickers?
Yes. We print custom shirts and stickers too, so you can use the same design across your order. Ask for everything in one quote.
