The XP5013W are rather more expensive. But why?

As simple as that really. I assume as they are popular there must be a reason over the orca mugs.

Cheers

I though Orca AAA were the best mugs available. Back in the day I used RN coated mugs with no issues in fact I still have one which I printed over 15 years ago with no fading, I'm hoping someone can tell me where I can buy no fade mugs

I always used Listawood, but stopped printing a few years back. Listawood don't exist anymore. So no go there.
I know the XP5013 are apparently xpres own coating. I know plenty of people on here rate them. Just curious as to why.

There's nothing on the market to match the XP5013 10oz mug. The coating is stronger than most so it's not just that they print really well and are a good 'white' but the coating helps to make them a little stronger as well.....that's why they don't tend to arrive with handles falling off!

Unfortunately the demand has seen the price escalate over recent years which can be difficult to absorb.

I was told that (unauthorised supplier name removed by admin) and Nova chrome were the best out there

Was it those 2 suppliers that told you that

No I looked on a fact checker but that said they don't have your experience, it's one thing to try and check things but hands on experience cannot be beaten

Well I worked for a company that used to buy pallets off one of those suppliers. We started to get quality issues....very long story short they actually 'admitted' selling us their budget mug and charging for the premium!!
