Hi,
I'm about to order some mugs, and am wondering which are the best to invest in? What size and shape sell better? Are 110z or 10z more popular? And are these the Orca Durham mugs?
Also, which handle sizes do people prefer? I've noticed there are large and small handles.
Thanks,
Sarah.

Welcome Sarah. This must be the most talked about subject on the forum so best to use the search box rather than start a new thread. EVERYONE has a different opinion so you will not get one answer. But the answers already on here will help you perhaps select a supplier to choose first.

10oz tens to be most popular in Europe and 11oz North America. I tend to go for a flatter handle rather than the larger C shape as that can hinder individual boxing if the are too large. Several coatings are decent but still trial and error to which supplier you prefer using.

Thanks for your advice Andrew, for some reason I imaged that larger mugs would be more popular, as you can fit more tea/coffee in, haha.
So a large handle might not fit in the 'non smashable boxes' that everyone has been talking about?

The larger handles can be an issue depending on packaging you use. Polycudes and tight futting boxes/acetates tend to be a problem.

Some mugs are described as 10oz but can look very different in size. The 10oz Listawood mugs are noticeable smaller than Xpres 10oz mugs. Both excellent mugs by the way. Don't be tempted by the very cheapest budget ebay mugs, they will only give you grief and you'll eventually settle on the most expensive mugs.
