Custom branded coffee mugs are a staple of the New Zealand promotional products market — and for good reason. Every office, café, hotel, and meeting room in the country has mugs in it. Put your logo on those mugs and you’ve got a walking billboard that gets used every single morning.
Waikato Printing Company stocks an extensive range of branded mugs through our Trends promotional range, from everyday ceramic mugs to stackable café-style options and premium vacuum-insulated travel mugs.
What Types of Branded Coffee Mugs Are Available?
Standard ceramic mugs are the most recognisable and cost-effective option. The Bendigo Ceramic Mug is a reliable everyday mug, while the Vienna Coffee Mug offers a slightly more refined look. The Alba Coffee Mug and Brew Coffee Mug are classic shapes that work for nearly any business.
Stackable coffee mugs are popular with cafés, restaurants, and hospitality businesses as they save space and look great on a counter. The Barista Stackable Coffee Mug, Arista Stackable Coffee Mug, Espresso Stackable Coffee Mug, and Neva Stackable Coffee Mug are all excellent for venues that want a branded look behind the counter.
Full colour mugs let you go big on design — ideal for businesses with colourful branding. The Cora Coffee Mug and Mocha Coffee Mug both support vibrant full-colour printing, while the Mocha Coffee Mug Two-Tone adds a stylish contrast look.
Enamel mugs have made a big comeback for their retro appeal and durability. The Bendigo Enamel Mug Full Colour is a popular choice for outdoor events, campsites, and businesses with a rustic or artisan brand identity.
Glass mugs deliver a premium, modern look. The Florence Glass Mug is a sophisticated option for premium gifting or boardroom settings.
Vacuum-insulated mugs keep drinks hot for hours. The Wilde Vacuum Mug and Sentry Vacuum Mug are great for desk use and are ideal for staff who like their coffee to stay hot through a long morning.
Café-style cups & sets include the Chai Cup and Saucer and the Bodum Bistro Double Wall Mugs Set of 2 — a premium gift option for coffee lovers and hospitality clients.
What’s the Best Mug for an NZ Office?
For most NZ offices, we recommend either the Bendigo Ceramic Mug for a traditional look, or the Arista Stackable Mug for a more contemporary café feel. Both are practical, dishwasher-safe (check product specs), and available in a range of colours to match your brand.
What’s the Best Branded Mug for Hospitality Businesses?
Cafés, restaurants, and accommodation providers tend to prefer stackable mugs (easier to store) or enamel mugs (durable and on-trend). The Barista and Espresso Stackable mugs are popular with specialty coffee venues, while the Bendigo Enamel Full Colour works well for businesses with a boutique or artisan identity.
If your business is in the food and hospitality sector, you might also be interested in our branded uniform options for cafés and coffee shops.
Can I Order Small Quantities of Branded Mugs?
Yes — most of our branded mugs have minimum order quantities from as low as 24 units, making them accessible even for small businesses. Pricing per unit reduces significantly at higher quantities.
How Do I Get My Logo on a Mug?
The process is simple. Get in touch with WPC, share your high-resolution logo, choose your mug style, and we’ll handle the rest — including artwork proofing before production. See our full guide on getting started with Waikato Printing Company.
