Guys, anyone know where I can source blank ceramic travel mugs? I know they are listed on Listawood, but cant seem to find anywhere else to compare prices? Listawood are asking £3.99 +vat for 12; my potential customer has seen a generic design he wants in a retail shop at £4.00 - obvs will have to pay me a bit to customise the design for him (not copy it...) but struggling to get down to a reasonable price for him.
If £3.99 plus vat is the going rate for a blank then thats fine, he'll either have them at my price or he wont, just wondered what other prices were available?
Cheers

I have 2 of these, both samples from companies, and i have to say i hate them with a passion, dont hold much and the lid is a real performance, and they dont keep drinks hot for long. i think you will never be able to sell them at a price that would allow him to retail them at £4
(your price looks like its £3.99 for 12 - which would be a good price)

Be warned with these guys.
Did a screen print job on something very similar for Krispy Kreme. They were manufactured in Germany and were sent in by pallet. When we came to print we found that well over half were broken. Supplier replaced them free of charge as they said it happens all the time. I know with some suppliers that broken ceramics are the responsibility of the customer and not the supplier. I can take that with mugs as I purchase from BMS and have only had a total of about 1 box in well over 200 boxes but I would be wary on something like this.
To be balanced and fair, the item we had was for screen print only so may have been made from a thinner ceramic. We tried dye sub and the item broke up into about 1000 bits.
