Heating the base of the mug

[Xpres]

Good morning all.
As you are all aware it is coming to that time of year again where certain measures may need to be taken to help with printing mugs. The reason for this as rightly stated at the top as the base of any mug contains a lot more ceramic. Therefor needs more time to heat up.
Either using hot plates of preheating the mugs (focusing on the base) are preferred.

With regards to our mugs made by RAJA, I can confirm that this is not the case. The 5013 is manufactured specifically for us and is not sold to any other company.

I hope this clears up any questions you may have.

Thanks guys.

Did you used to have mugs manufactured by Raja?
(I've seen Xpres mug boxes in the past which were exactly the same as the ones we get our in which are made for us by Raja and they just had additional branding stuck on to say Xpres)

I thought the Xpres ceramic looked very much like the BMS mug, even the box had the same font. Listawoood boxes mention a Tiger coating which I would presume is Thai based? Raja is Thai and Listawood budget mugs also have a new coating especially made for them!

Raja call their coating Rhino

Impressed - how many mugs can you process an hour? (from shelf to box)

We get about 200-220 on a good day and print dependant. Makes life a lot easier but does take some getting used too.

We set off a couple years back with a standard head single press.
