I was scouring AliBaba trying to find sublimation ones - just reread and noticed you just want the standard mugs - woops.

... back to AliBaba
Non sublimation ones are much easier to find!

... and one supplier in UK, if you can't wait for a boat, and MOQ of only 48 (which I guess is one box)

No mention of price, so you'd have to contact them.
This appears to be their proper website: http://www.boyztoys.com/

Thanks all for the info guys, certainly enough info there to get going.

Pisquee, have you tried TMT's CPM paper on one of these? I have a feeling that it should transfer quite well with their paper.

nope, never even thought about it
I enjoy searching alibaba, seeing what's available/interesting (but also seeing how much a lot of the equipment and blanks actually cost at source)

I had a search for sublimation ones a couple of years back when I had a big keep calm and carry on customer. Didn't have any success and also failed to find a good supply of plain stock ready in the UK at a decent price.

There's a guy on t-shirt forums who has used DIY sublimation coating on them and got OK, though not perfect results.
