Best for

Choose cups & tumblers if your moment is staff onboarding and culture kits, conference and speaker gifting or client christmas and seasonal gifting.

Staff onboarding and culture kits

A reusable coffee cup or double-wall stainless tumbler with a tone-on-tone brand line lands on day one and stays on the desk for years. Pair with a notebook and a handwritten welcome card for the opening moment.

Conference and speaker gifting

Full-wrap sublimated travel tumblers photograph beautifully on the conference table and get carried home. Choose laser-engraved stainless for VIP speaker packs — the finish is tonal, tactile and survives every dishwasher cycle.

Client Christmas and seasonal gifting

Ceramic mugs in campaign colourways, slipped into a gourmet hamper with AU-roasted coffee or single-origin tea. The piece that lives beyond the campaign — we reorder these with the same brand teams year after year.

Retail gift-with-purchase and café partnerships

rPP reusable cups and bamboo-fibre tumblers sized to the standard barista pour (8oz, 12oz, 16oz) — branded silicone band, printed lid, on-brand packaging sleeve. The one that gets posted.

Sustainability-led campaigns

PFAS-free, BPA-free and rPET-blend cups with FSC-certified packaging — ideal for councils, universities and B-Corp brand teams who need the material story to match the brand line.

Our onboarding tumblers arrived a week ahead of our new-starter intake and the finish was exquisite — the laser engraving sat beautifully on the matte stainless. New hires photograph them on their desks on day one, which is every brand manager's dream.

The Sense2 team understood our colour palette so quickly that the full-wrap tumblers felt like an extension of the campaign, not an add-on. Delegates commented on them all weekend — the quiet stars of our summit kit.

How to choose

Start with the moment, not the mug — that's the part of a drinkware brief we enjoy most. If the cup lives at a conference table for a morning, a ceramic mug or a full-wrap sublimated tumbler carries the campaign beautifully and photographs well for social. If it needs to survive the daily commute, step up to a double-wall vacuum stainless steel tumbler in 304/18-8 grade, with a silicone-sealed sip lid and a laser-engraved mark that never fades. Material sets the register. Ceramic mugs read warm and editorial, perfect for studio gifts, café partnerships and quiet-luxury brand codes. Stainless steel travel tumblers read premium and enduring — the piece that earns its place on the desk. Borosilicate glass cups with bamboo lids and silicone sleeves read design-led and considered, and they're where a lot of our Melbourne-edit hospitality briefs land. rPP and rPET reusable coffee cups carry the sustainability story credibly, and we only specify PFAS-free finishes across the range. Branding method matters as much as the cup. Full-wrap sublimation on stainless or ceramic gives edge-to-edge campaign artwork — colour-accurate, photographic, launch-ready. Laser engraving on stainless gives a tonal, tactile mark that reads as quiet-luxury and never wears off. Pad print is for small logos on curved surfaces. UV digital handles gradients and fine detail on flat panels. Screen print (1-4 colour) remains the most cost-effective route for bold, high-contrast brand marks on ceramic and rPP. On MOQ: most custom cups and tumblers start at 50-250 units, with core lines branded in 1-4 business days for creative rush runs. For 1,000+ expect 25-40% off the 100-qty tier. Always order a sample — 48 hours to your desk. Your creative director holds the weight, tests the lid, feels the silicone seal, and the decision makes itself. Fast can still feel thoughtful.

Pricing guidance

Pricing rule of thumb: at 100 units with a 1-position print, a ceramic mug sits around AU$3.50-$9, a rPP reusable coffee cup AU$5-$11, a bamboo-fibre tumbler AU$7-$14, a borosilicate glass cup with silicone sleeve AU$9-$16, and a double-wall stainless steel travel tumbler AU$14-$28. At 500 units those drop 25-35%. Full-wrap sublimation adds AU$1.50-$3 per unit. Laser engraving adds AU$1.20-$2.80 per position. Setup is AU$40-$85 per colour, once off.

Frequently asked questions

What's the minimum order for custom cups and tumblers?

Most custom cups and tumblers start at 50-250 units depending on style and decoration method. Ceramic mugs and rPP reusable coffee cups often start at 50 on pilot runs; full-wrap sublimated stainless tumblers typically start at 100. For 1,000+ briefs expect 25-40% off the 100-qty tier — ask for a stepped quote across 100, 250, 500 and 1,000.

How long do branded cups and tumblers take to produce and deliver in Australia?

Standard lead time is 7-15 business days from artwork approval. Many core lines are branded in 1-4 business days; 3-5 day express is available on 400+ SKUs for late briefs. For Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane launches we can sometimes courier same-week on stocked decorated mugs and tumblers.

What branding and printing methods do you offer on cups and tumblers?

Full-wrap sublimation for edge-to-edge photographic artwork on stainless and ceramic; laser engraving for tonal, permanent marks on stainless; pad print for small curved logos; UV digital for gradients and fine detail on flat panels; and screen print (1-4 colour) for bold campaign marks on ceramic and rPP. Setup is AU$40-$85 per colour, once-off.

Can I see a sample of a cup or tumbler before I order?

Yes. Free samples ship Australia-wide, dispatched within 48 hours so your creative team can hold the weight, test the lid seal and check colour-match before artwork lock. Pre-production samples with your actual artwork are available on larger runs — after 30 years of drinkware briefs, we know the finish and feel are what the decision turns on.

Do you offer eco-friendly and PFAS-free cups and tumblers?

Yes. Our eco drinkware range includes rPP and rPET reusable cups, bamboo-fibre tumblers, FSC-certified packaging and PFAS-free finishes across the stainless range. BPA-free, food-grade silicone seals and recycled-content options are available on request — ideal for council, university and B-Corp briefs where the material story needs to match the brand line.

Are your stainless steel tumblers dishwasher safe?

Most of our double-wall vacuum stainless tumblers are hand-wash recommended to protect the insulation seal and the engraved finish, though many of our ceramic mugs and rPP cups are dishwasher-safe on a standard cycle. We confirm care specifications on every quote so the advice you pass to your audience matches the product in hand.
