How it works

Two ways to end up with a mug you actually like: pick one of ours, or send us your own idea. Here is the whole path, start to finish.

Step 1

Pick what you are printing on

Mug, enamel mug, coaster or drink bottle. Every one of them is printed by us here in Dunedin, to order, so there is no minimum and no setup fee.

Step 2

Choose one of our designs

Hundreds of them, from mildly cheeky to frankly unrepeatable. If one fits, add it to the cart and skip ahead to the printing.

Step 3

Or send us your own idea

A photo, a logo, a name, a drawing, a line only your mates will understand. Tell us what you want on it and we will work out how to get it there.

Email us your idea

Things people send us

  • A logo, for a company, school, team or club
  • A photo of the family, the dog, the van, a favourite spot
  • A name, for a kid, a teacher, a parent or a grandparent
  • Artwork, from a quick sketch to a finished piece to a crayon masterpiece
  • Words: a poem, a saying, a joke, a crude remark, an annoyingly catchy lyric
  • Just the idea, and we will create the artwork for you

We can combine them too. A child's drawing on one side and their name on the other is the one we print most.

Step 4

We send you a proof

We mock up exactly how the finished item will look and email it over. Want the text bigger, the photo moved, the whole thing scrapped and started again? Say so. Nothing goes on a mug until you are happy with it.

Step 5

You approve it and pay

Once the proof gets a yes, we send through the payment details. Paying promptly is usually the difference between it leaving today and leaving tomorrow.

Step 6

We print it and it goes out

Printed straight onto the item, not stuck on as a sticker, then boxed and handed to the courier. Order early enough and that is the same afternoon.

Delivery, plainly

Shipping is free on New Zealand orders over $50.

  • South Island: 1 to 2 days
  • North Island: 2 to 3 days
  • Urgent courier: $5 extra, and we will get it to you
  • Rural delivery: $3 extra, and we will find you

Custom designs are paid on approval of the artwork, and we still aim to have them on the courier same day or next day wherever humanly possible.

Then send us a postcard

Last stage: you open the box. Maybe you post about it. Maybe you film the moment the gift is handed over and thrown straight back at you. Maybe you get an A plus and thank us for the encouragement, as we are choosing to call it.

However you want to say thanks, we are right here. Still here, in fact. It is fine. We will wait.
