Well here goes it's rare I try something new unless I have to. I am OK for mugs but running tighter on stock than I like (I like a nice cushion). I am a rhino mug sort of chap, but as they aren't around and the reserves need topping up I have ordered a few cases of orca 11oz mugs from MDP to try. I have never used MDP before or orca coated mugs, I feel all giddy.:biggrin:

Do they coming on the backs of unicorns? Are the mugs wrapped in the tears of angels? Heck I might have to fiddle with settings!

I use them and no issues.

I too use them all the time but 10oz

I used to use the 11oz from MDP, no issues at all.

However, when MDP ran out of stock, I started to use the 11oz rhino coated mugs by Novachrome.

I quite like these mugs. Try giving them a call?

I decided to use the MDP Orca mugs for the print run this morning. I can report they are straight, white, handle not crooked, and print just fine.
So that's alright then.

They are a decent quality mug only issues I have is smashing in transit.
Went from poly mailers to smashproof boxes for environmental reasons but it’s not working for me sadly.

I suppose I could pack them in bubble bags and a second box but that just adds to the problem.

Ahh I have just got in 100 smashproof boxes to try. At the moment I use polyboxes but was also looking at the environmental aspect. I already use solar power and rainwater capture so it makes sense.

I must say the smashproof boxes are more chunky than the ones I tried years ago. These came from Dye Sublimation Supplies, I should know within 100 whether they work!

The ones from mdp are thicker again.
I had a batch from dss but the mdp ones are a tiny bit thicker.

xmas was mental and breakages were more common than not.
I found shipping with parcel2go was far easier than using Hermes direct.
I sent as uninsured as mugs aren’t covered anyway so it was cheaper.
when I had a breakage I went to claim section and it just refunded postage instantly.

Hermes don’t even refund the postage without a fight.

I have a Royal Mail account so I'll see how they get on with the boxes. I avoid Hermes as my experience receiving things sent through them is........!
Interesting to here the MDP ones are slightly thicker.
