Laser – mainly used on metal mugs.

  • keep it simple – a clear logo, short slogan,
  • match the colors to your visual identity – this will ensure that the product is consistent with your brand communication,
  • make sure that the design looks good on a small scale – especially in the case of cups or small mugs,
  • add a distinctive element, such as an interesting illustration, a QR code, etc., or a small print on the inside of the mug.
