If anyone fancies a laugh I just found this on Youtube:

It's a semi-automated machine that actually makes wrapping a mug slower and more cumbersome than doing it "by hand". Just what the world needs!

Also, I like the fact that they don't show you the "second" piece of tape that came out the machine that would need to be stuck across the TOP of the mug once taken out the machine. Basically making it a manual process still! Good find but OMG.

We looked at these...£900+vat, no thanks.

I keep saying that someone needs to invent a mug wrapping device that you can stack 100 or so sheets on and it wraps them one at a time. Now that would save time haha

Or a bigger mug press, so you can slot, say, four mugs in stacked together with one piece of paper that it wraps across them all in one go

Whilst we are preparing our "mug printing wishlist", I'm wanting a UV printer that automatically feeds mugs and spits them out the other end printed. If it it can then box them up, label them and make me a cup of tea I'd pay for that upgrade.

Reminds me of a video I saw on youtube a year or two ago. A printing company was printing thousands of prospectuses for Liverpool John Moores University, and the machine they were being printed on printed, perfect bound, trimmed 3 edges, stacked them in boxes of a set quantity, then stacked the packed boxes on a pallet at the end ready to go. Super impressive.
