Magic Mug

Want to create a truly memorable gift or promo item that’s both personal and playful? The Magic Mug is one of the most unique products you can customise. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary black mug — but add a hot drink and watch the magic happen. A hidden design is revealed through heat, making it a surprise every time.

At East London Printer, we specialise in same-day magic mug printing for personal occasions, branded merchandise, or last-minute gift ideas. Whether you need one mug or one hundred, we’ll get it printed and ready — fast.

How Do Magic Mugs Work?

Magic mugs are coated in a special heat-sensitive layer that hides the printed design underneath. When cold, the design is invisible. As hot liquid is poured in, the coating fades away to reveal your custom artwork — anything from photos and names to logos or quotes.

This simple transformation creates a sense of wonder and adds a fun, interactive element to your mug.

Perfect for:

Surprise gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, or holidays
Office mugs with cheeky hidden messages
Branded reveal mugs for product launches
Merch items for creators, influencers, or small businesses
Personalised mugs for couples or families

Easy Design, Instant Impact

With our Custom Mug Printing service, creating your own magic mug is simple. Send us your image or artwork, and we’ll handle the setup and printing. Whether you’re going for bold graphics or a subtle reveal, we make sure the final result pops.

You can choose from:

Full wrap-around images or one-side printing
Black outer coating with vibrant colour reveal
Matte or gloss finishes
Bulk or single orders
Optional gift boxing or labels

And yes — our turnaround time is incredibly fast. Same-day printing is available, so even if you’re on a tight schedule, we’ve got you covered.

Why Magic Mugs Are Great for Branding

Branded mugs are already a popular promotional item, but a magic mug takes things to the next level. When the hidden image reveals your company’s logo or message, it instantly grabs attention — and sticks in your customer’s mind.

Think of them as both a practical item and a clever marketing tool.

Businesses use them for:

Client gifts
Welcome kits
Event giveaways
Product teasers
Office use

Pair your mugs with t-shirts, totes or stickers for a full custom bundle.

More Mug Options & Apparel Tie-Ins

Need more choices? We’ve teamed up with Mug Printing London to offer extra personalisation options — like colourful interiors, collage designs, or custom handles.

And if you're planning a larger promo push, why not create a full merch line? Add printed t-shirts from Same Day TShirt Printing to match your mug designs and keep your branding consistent.

This combination is great for events, launches, or influencer drops.

Same-Day Mug Printing? Absolutely.

We know that sometimes things are last-minute. Whether you forgot a birthday or need urgent promo gear, our same-day mug printing service is built to deliver fast, high-quality results.
