Our core product is the white Wycombe Rhino Coated mug, which you can see in the majority of the pictures on the site. We supply at £3-25 each on orders of a dozen or more. Commonly known as a "Durham" shape our standard mug is a robust earthenware product, commonly found in many sporting club shops, in the workplace and around the home. It is the standard mug used for promotional products and used as a "Club Mug" in almost every sport or social organisation.
We have been supplying the guaranteed dishwasher proof Duraglaze White mug but unfortunately the supplier/importer has gone out of business. So for the time being, we are not 100% sure of what is available.
It's the same supplier for the Two Tone mugs with a coloured inner and handle but we have secured a new supplier for an almost identical mug. Still at £4-25 each on orders of a dozen or more – but now with a choice of 15 colours in the range adding in Grey, Purple and Teal. We will update the pages as soon a we get samples to evaluate and photograph. It's an evolving situation but we'll update these pages on a daily basis. The photo below shows the mug type and is not the new supply.

Golden Yellow, Bright Yellow, Light Green, Green (aka Forest Green), Black, Light Blue
We additionally supply Porcelain mugs (see picture below) for customers who are looking for slightly different product at £4-25 each on orders of a dozen or more.
The Jubbly Jock Series Porcelain Mug
We are also happy to supply the popular ENAMEL MUG which has become very fashionable, despite being a product from the early 20th Century hanging from the belt of an Australian Swagman in the Outback or in an earlier century part of the kit of an outdoor workman such as a railway navie. With its metallic structure it is ideal for taking on a picnic, using in an outdoor workplace or just having something a little different from the traditional ceramic mug. They are £4-50 each and come indiviually boxed.

While one of our selling points is our ability to supply low numbers, often at short notice, we are just as happy with larger runs.
Orders for 12 mugs are not uncommon but neither are orders for 200-1500 mugs. It may be the Premier League Football Club that orders 12 and the Junior Rugby Club based in a small village who requires 200. Just let us know what you need.
Our prices reflect economy of scale but possibly not in the way you might think. While a larger number of mugs has a minor impact on the time it takes to make each unit, the real impact on cost is delivery. It costs us as much to deliver 6 mugs as it does to send 60. Over sixty the delivery price increases on weight so our discounting for numbers is more about our inclusive delivery costs as it is about making of the products.
The other impact is the design and setting up time for any job which is the same for 10 as it is for 1,000. Once again, we don't charge separately for this but include it in the unit price .... so normally a very small run (under 12) has a greater unit price than a larger quantity.
Nevertheless, we believe we offer some of the best value for money personalised products around on a like for like basis and can match any other mug supplier for service, quality and price on small quanities (and "small" is under 1,000 units).
Our normal delivery time from confirmation of order is less than a week. But we are flexible – it’s one of our strengths.
If you are really, really in a rush, we can turn things around in 24 hours as long as we don't have to let other customers down by doing so. But some customers want to specify a particular day for delivery. As long as it's a weekday, we can accomodate that ... even if it's some weeks ahead.
The classic story on how quickly we can react is an FA Cup commemorative mug where a non-league team won a tie on a Tuesday night to go through for a home tie against a much bigger Club on the Saturday. They wanted a souvenir mug for the occasion (but being superstitious hadn't set up anything before winning the Tuesday fixture) and from scratch, we had them in their shop and ticket office by the Wednesday night in time to sell the mugs with match tickets on the Thursday morning. That took a special effort, and it was reasonably local, (normally we need to add 24 hours for the courier delivery too), .... but it can be
