A mug is a sturdily built type of cup often used for drinking hot beverages, such as coffee, tea, hot chocolate or soup. Mugs have handles and hold a larger amount of fluid than other types of cup. Usually a mug holds approximately 12 fluid ounces (350 mL) of liquid; double a tea cup. A mug is a less formal style of drink container and is not usually used in formal place settings, where a teacup or coffee cup is preferred. Shaving mugs can be used to assist in wet shaving. Ancient mugs were usually carved in wood or bone or shaped of clay, while most modern ones are made of ceramic materials such as earthenware, bone china, porcelain or stoneware. Some are made from strengthened glass, such as Pyrex. Other materials, including plastic, steel and enameled metal are preferred where break resistance and reduced weight are at a premium, such as for campers. Techniques such as silk screen printing or decals are used to apply decorations; these are fired onto the mug to ensure permanence.
HİSTORY OF OUR COMPANY
The name “Mug” is said to be connected with the old time Communion plate, or possibly also associated with clinching a deal over a “mug” of ale.Mug and Design company established in 2013 and we have increased day to day. First we work under other companies and we made a lot of mug design and they use them.However nobody know us they supposed that these companies made themselves and sell them. When we had started to be disturbed we decided to make our new company and we got it.
DESIGN
1)Purchase/find a coffee mug. Make sure the mug has no writing or design on it. White is preferable to use as your “canvas.”
Repurpose one from home. Use a special mug your friend or family member loves from home as long as it is plain and has no design. You will also want to make sure it’s in decent shape--you don't want to personalize a mug that’s on its last legs.
Purchase one from a craft store. Many craft stores sell a variety of plain, white mugs in a variety of sizes for a low price.
Wash and dry the mug before personalizing. Even if it's a mug from home, make sure it’s been thoroughly washed and dried before you being your craft.
2)Create your mug design. On one hand you could do your best Jackson Pollock design on the mug (and splash paint it), however if you intend to put a name or specific shape on the mug you’ll need to map it out and perhaps even create a design template to use as your guide.
Search online for designs you like. Print the design and create a template using tracing paper. Look for a design with bold lines that will fit nicely on a mug. Avoid complicated designs as painting/transferring it to the mug may be difficult or too time consuming.
Purchase letter stencils that will fit the mug. Personalization means that you may want to put a name on the mug or even a cute “inside” saying. Find lettering that will compliment your design so your overall mug flows.
3)Paint the background first. You may want to “layer” your personalized mug by first painting the background unless you want the white background.
Select a color that will compliment and not conflict with your overall design. You should choose something neutral but soothing to cover your mug.
Consider only painting one side of the mug or go for a two-tone mug. Depending on how you plan to design the mug you could just paint one side or you could select two colors for either side. Make sure the colors work well together-for example, you could select school colors from the recipient’s university for the dual colored mug.
Wait for the background to completely dry before painting the main design. Otherwise, paint could combine and create a messy look.
4)Transfer your design directly to the mug. Use a wax-pencil to transfer the design to the mug by tracing or just following the printed design.
Consider using thin masking tape to block off certain areas of your design to help keep paint lines clean.
Cut out the design so you can paint around it. In the event you will be creating more of a graphic type design comprised of circles and shapes, you could cut out your shapes and lightly tape (using tape rings on the back of the paper) the shapes to your mug. Then you could paint over or around the shapes to create a “reverse” effect.
5)Add your message. Wait until the mug is completely dry and then add the recipient’s name or message.
Consider using a paint pen instead of a brush. Unless you are working with wide-set lettering, try a paint pen for more control over the letters. Make sure the paint is made for ceramic application.
Include a few special personal touches inside the mug such as a insider saying or even a few handmade hearts or stars. Nothing like a little unexpected surprise says, “personalized” so add an intimate saying or joke between the two of you inside or underneath the mug.
