What are colour changing mugs?
A colour changing mug looks plain when it is cold. Pour in a hot drink and the coating reacts to the heat, the colour shifts and your design appears. As it cools, the design fades away again, ready for the next brew. It is a small bit of theatre that people show to everyone in the office.
What people put on them
- Photos. A family picture, a wedding photo or the dog, revealed with the morning tea.
- Messages. A birthday greeting, a proposal or a pregnancy announcement that appears as the kettle boils.
- Logos. A business giveaway that makes people smile, so it does not get stuck at the back of a cupboard.
Design tips
Because the reveal is the whole point, plan the design for it. Bold images and clear text show best once the colour has changed. A short message works better than a paragraph, and a photo with strong contrast reads better than a busy, low-contrast one.
Quantities
Order any number from 1 to 10, then 20, 30, 40, 50, 75 or 99. A single mug makes a lovely personal present; a few dozen suit a team gift or an event.
Looking after it
The heat-sensitive coating is the clever part, so treat it kindly. A gentle hand wash is the best way to keep it working well.

What do buyers ask before ordering?
Quick answers about colour changing mugs.
How does a colour changing mug work?
The mug has a heat-sensitive coating. When a hot drink goes in, the colour changes and your printed design appears, then it fades again as the mug cools.
What designs work best?
Bold images, strong-contrast photos and short, clear messages. Fine detail and long text are harder to read once revealed.
Can I order just one?
Yes. You can order any number from 1 to 10, then 20, 30, 40, 50, 75 or 99.
Are they good as a surprise gift?
They are a favourite for hidden messages, such as a birthday greeting or a big announcement, revealed with the first cup of tea.
How do I look after the mug?
Wash it gently by hand to look after the heat-sensitive coating.
How do I send my photo or logo?
Upload your print-ready artwork when you order. Design help is available as an option at checkout.
How long will it take?
Saver production is from 6 working days, with faster speeds on the page. UK mainland postage is £7.95 per basket and free when goods total £100 or more.
