Just a random question to put out there.

Are all blank white sub mugs made in China? Heard all the stories bout dodgy mugs from china.

Would someone like to recommend a good supplier thats both competitively priced with a good product (not el cheapo nasty mugs)

A mug supplier that does'nt charge the earth per item (i do actually wanna make some cash too you can appreciate)

Thanks to BMS Martin for volunteering for a crash course - will be i touch soon to book a masterclass!!

Cheers joel

I would think most are made in China now since the demise of TAMS :(

I personally use BMS supplied mugs now and find them the best. Transfer press mugs are also very good. I'll only use dishwasher proof, many are only dishwasher safe, so you need the RN/Duraglaze coating.

I did a test a couple of years ago, got in touch with all suppliers and requested a sample. Most responded. BMS & Listawood came out top in the test but I won't buy from Lisatwood anymore.

Don't under price your product. This is a good quality, personalised item and as such should command a decent price. Many sellers on eBay etc. are killing the market with very low prices.

My mugs come from Thailand. If you wanted you could get a mug better than Tams from China. Unfortunately, supply and demand dictates the cost which in turn dictates the standard.
