Ceramic Mugs & Cups, Stock and Custom Logo
Wholesale ceramic mugs and cups in 8–16 oz drinkware formats — porcelain and stoneware bodies, logo decoration paths compared, stock shapes from 500 pieces per item.
The mug is a brand vehicle.
No other ceramic item carries a logo, a glaze color and a price point as well as a mug. It is also the category where the cup-and-mug migration limits are tightest, so decoration has to be chosen with the standard in hand.
Bodies and routes. High-fired porcelain (1280–1380°C) for clean white drinkware at retail weight; stoneware for matte and reactive glaze programs; hand-painted and color-glaze cups for tea brands and gift retail. Dishwasher and microwave suitability is stated per glaze type on every SKU.
Custom logo paths. Decal, color glaze, embossed form and hand painting — each with a different setup cost and MOQ. Stock shapes take your logo from 500 pcs (typical); fully custom forms typically run 1000–3000 pcs per item.
Compliance note. Cups and mugs are tested to the strictest values in FDA 21 CFR 109.16 — 0.5 µg/mL lead and 0.25 µg/mL cadmium enforcement guidance — plus EC 84/500/EEC container limits. Third-party test reports are available on request.

What to settle before you compare prices.
- Logo path and proofing. Decal, color glaze, embossing or hand painting — each has its own setup and MOQ. Artwork is proofed on a fired sample, not on screen, before mass production.
- Capacity in ml, stated. Standard mugs typically run 240–470 ml (8–16 oz); espresso and gongfu cups sit far lower. Capacities are charted per SKU so listings are accurate.
- Cup-and-mug limits. FDA 21 CFR 109.16 sets the tightest values on this category (Pb 0.5 / Cd 0.25 µg/mL enforcement guidance); EC 84/500/EEC container limits apply for the EU. Test reports available on request.
- Pack the pair, not just the mug. Mugs ship individually wrapped with air-pillow cushioning in five-layer cartons; gift-boxed pairs and sets are packed to pass a 125 cm drop test for platform inbound.

Questions buyers ask about mugs.
Can you print our logo, and from what quantity?+
Yes — decal, color glaze, embossing and hand painting are all available. Stock shapes take a logo from 500 pcs per item (typical); a fully custom form typically runs 1000–3000 pcs. Artwork is proofed on a fired sample before mass production.
What capacity should I quote my customers?+
Standard ceramic mugs typically run 8–16 oz (about 240–470 ml). We chart the exact ml capacity per SKU and check it against golden samples, so your product pages can state capacity without hedging.
Which rules apply to mugs with printed decoration?+
Cups and mugs carry the tightest values in FDA 21 CFR 109.16 — 0.5 µg/mL lead and 0.25 µg/mL cadmium enforcement guidance — with EC 84/500/EEC container limits for the EU. Decoration is chosen so the drinking rim and interior pass; third-party test reports are available on request.
