The Mercer mug is crafted from ceramic with a matte exterior, offering a tactile, understated look that suits both office and home settings. Its 12-ounce capacity handles standard coffee, tea, or hot cocoa servings, while the FDA-compliant construction ensures it is safe for daily use.
Care is straightforward: hand washing is recommended to maintain the matte finish and keep the screen-printed imprint looking sharp. The mug is not intended for commercial dishwashers or heavy-duty food service environments, making it best suited for personal or light office use.

Decoration & Imprint
1 method
Your artwork is screen printed onto the mug’s exterior, with ink applied through a mesh stencil for crisp, opaque color that sits on top of the ceramic surface.
Screen PrintPMS1 color/location included · one-time setup $40.00 · Up to 1 color
Screen printing presses ink through a fine mesh stencil, laying down each color as a separate pass. Each color lays down as its own premixed spot ink, printing solid and consistent across the run. The applied mark is flat and opaque, sitting on top of the material with crisp edges; on heavy coverage, you can feel a slight raised texture where ink builds up. The cured ink is durable and holds up to repeated handling and washing.

From our decoration and product guides
- What does a screen-printed logo look like on a promotional product?
- Screen printing presses ink through a fine mesh stencil, one pass per color. Each color lays down as its own premixed spot ink, so the mark is flat, opaque and consistent across the run, with crisp edges that sit on top of the material. On heavy coverage you can feel a slight raised texture where the ink builds up, and the cured ink holds up to repeated handling and washing. More about Screen Print →
- Which artwork works best for screen printing?
- Bold spot-color shapes, blocks of solid color and simple lettering, where you want strong, opaque coverage that reads clearly. Screen printing holds clean edges on solid shapes and standard lettering, but very fine hairlines, smooth gradients and photographic blends lose definition because each color prints as a flat solid layer. For gradient or photographic artwork choose a full-color process method instead. More about Screen Print →
- Can a screen print match my exact Pantone color?
- Yes. Because every color is a separate, premixed spot ink, screen printing can be mixed to a specific Pantone (PMS) number. Where a product offers it, Pantone matching is an option for an additional charge per color; without it the printer uses the closest standard stock ink color. More about Screen Print →
