Enamel camping mugs are the most distinctive metal mug in this range: a steel body coated in fused enamel, available in solid and speckled finishes with a rolled rim. They are impact resistant rather than brittle, which is why they work at an outdoor event, on a construction site, or in a welcome pack. Stainless steel mugs sit alongside them with cleaner lines and better heat retention, some with a carabiner-style handle and others in a larger capacity format. Both can be engraved, with engraving on enamel revealing the base metal to give a two-tone contrast finish that screen printing can't replicate. Screen printing is also available for colour logos. Top sellers have 24-hour and 3-day express options at an additional charge.
A construction company that puts a branded enamel camping mug in every new employee's site induction pack gives them something they'll actually use on site every day, not something that sits at home waiting for the right moment. It doesn't need a desk; it goes straight to the smoko shed on day one and stays there for the rest of the job.
All styles can be engraved or screen printed. Engraving is recommended for logos where the contrast finish adds to the look of the mug.
Good to Know
What is the minimum order for metal mugs?
Enamel camping mugs and stainless steel styles start at 50 units; powder coated travel styles start at 25 units. Selected styles have express turnaround at 24 hours or 3 days at an additional charge.
What is the difference between engraving and screen printing on a metal mug?
Engraving removes the surface coating to reveal the base metal beneath, which gives a permanent two-tone finish where the logo sits in relief against the coloured enamel or steel. Screen printing applies colour to the surface and suits multi-colour logos that need to carry brand tones rather than a single-tone mark.
Are metal mugs dishwasher safe?
Metal mugs with printed or engraved branding are recommended for hand washing only, as dishwashers can fade screen-printed logos over time and damage the enamel coating. Hand washing keeps both the finish and the branding in good condition.
Can metal mugs be ordered with express turnaround?
Selected enamel camping mug and stainless steel styles have 24-hour and 3-day express turnaround options available at an additional charge. These suits events with short lead times where the regular 5–10 business day production window doesn't fit the timeline.
