Case study

Event merch that became a brand moment for Legl

Legl wanted giveaways that drew people to their stand and had a story behind them. So they swapped high volumes of standard freebies for a smaller range of premium merch: bamboo notebooks, branded artisan chocolate and power banks built to last.

The merch acted as a real conversation starter. People were drawn to the stand and curious to hear the story behind the products. We noticed higher footfall, more meaningful conversations and a greater number of follow-ups post-event compared to previous years.

Sustainability rating

Every product graded, and we show our working

Most suppliers put an eco label on part of their range without saying what earns it. We check every product against five criteria, and the number it meets sets its grade. This marketplace lists the products that meet at least two.

  • Eco-Friendly Materials Plus

  • B2 criteria metClears our bar on two independent counts
  • C1 criterion metOne point in its favour, and no more. We only sell this if no viable alternatives are available.
  • D0 criteria metNothing we can evidence. We don't sell this.

Questions? We've got you covered

It comes down to the material and how long the mug lasts. Our range focuses on recycled materials, renewable bamboo and natural cork rather than single-use cups. A reusable mug that replaces disposable cups for years is the most meaningful environmental win, so we prioritise durable designs and check each supplier's credentials, and we describe the specific material on every product.

The most common option is ceramic, which is sturdy, dishwasher friendly and takes colour well. We also stock recycled-content mugs, bamboo fibre, cork-based designs, stoneware and porcelain, plus hard-wearing enamel for outdoor and event use. Many styles are double-walled to keep drinks warmer, and the exact material and capacity are listed on each product.

Ceramic and porcelain are inert, hard-wearing and dishwasher safe, which makes them the everyday workhorse for office mugs. Bamboo and cork add a natural, tactile look, recycled-content mugs cut the use of new raw materials, and enamel suits outdoor and event use. Each product lists its material, so you can match the mug to how it will be used.

Ceramic mugs are usually decorated with a pad print or a full-colour ceramic transfer that is fired into the glaze for a long-lasting finish. Bamboo, cork and stainless mugs are typically laser engraved, which gives a clean, permanent mark that will not wash off. The best method depends on the mug and your artwork, and we confirm it when you request a quote.

Many of our ceramic mugs are dishwasher safe, and fired or engraved branding stands up to washing better than a surface print. Microwave suitability varies, especially for mugs with bamboo, cork or metal elements, so care guidance is shown on the individual product to help you match the mug to how it will be used.

Minimum quantities vary by product and decoration method and are shown on each mug, then confirmed when you request a quote. Branded mugs suit both smaller runs for welcome packs and larger quantities for events and giveaways.

Yes. A mug is used daily and kept for years, so your branding stays visible far longer than most promotional items, at a low cost per impression. Reusable mugs also support efforts to cut disposable-cup waste, which makes them a practical, sustainability-led choice for staff gifts, welcome packs, conferences and event giveaways.

Sustainable branded mugs people actually use

A branded mug earns its keep. It sits on a desk and delivers your logo every working day, which is why mugs are one of the most cost-effective promotional gifts going. Ours are the sustainable version: recycled materials, fast-growing bamboo, natural cork, ceramic and hard-wearing enamel, printed or engraved with your brand.

Choosing the right mug

Classic ceramic mugs are the workhorses for office gifting and welcome packs, and most are dishwasher safe for daily use. Bamboo and cork-base designs add a natural, tactile finish, and enamel mugs work for outdoor events and camping-themed campaigns. Double-walled styles keep drinks warmer for longer. For drinks on the move, see our reusable travel mugs.

Recycled mugs

If recycled content is the priority, our recycled mugs reuse existing material instead of new raw stock. We carry recycled-content options across ceramic and other materials, with the specific recycled material listed on each product. They sit naturally alongside our recycled water bottles in a wider sustainable drinkware range.

Branding and decoration

How your logo is applied depends on the mug. Ceramic mugs take a durable pad print or a full-colour ceramic transfer fired into the glaze, while bamboo, cork and stainless styles are usually laser engraved for a clean, permanent mark. Print areas, colours and minimum quantities are shown on each product and confirmed when you request a quote.
