Will the colors on the mug/t-shirt match the colors on my computer?

There is no way to ensure a perfect match of the colors between the item and your computer.  All computer monitors represent colors differently unless they have been professionally calibrated.  This means that there may be slight differences in the color.

Are your mugs dishwasher / microwave safe?

Our 11 oz and 15 oz ceramic mugs are both dishwasher and microwave safe.  However, we do recommend hand washing of the mugs to ensure long life of the vibrant colors. 

Our stainless steel mugs should be hand washed and are not microwavable.

Are your mugs UV resistant?

Yes, our mugs are UV resistant.  We buy only the best UV resistant mugs and use UV resistant ink as well.  That being said, your mug will hold its' color best if not left outside in the sun.

What do I need to do to scan my image?

If you do not have a scanner, you can visit a local copy center or photo developing store to scan your picture.  You can also mail it to us at Marvelous Mugs, 5511 Magnolia Greens Lane., League City, TX 77573 and we will scan it for you and send it back with your purchase or back to the billing address (if it's a gift).

What size should I make my image for a mug?

If you are designing your own wraparound mug, your image should be a maximum 3.25 inches high x 8.5 inches wide for an 11 oz mug.  For a 15 oz mug, the maximum size is 3.8 inches high x 8.5 inches wide.  The resolution should be 200 dpi or greater.  If you are making a scrapbooking mug manually, click here for size requirements.

What file size and type should my image be?

The larger the file size (resolution), the more information available for the printer.  We prefer to work with images at 200 dpi or better.  This produces the best image quality.  The best file types are .jpg (JPEG), .bmp, and .png.  We use PhotoShop so if you want to send a .psd or compatible file, that is okay too.

What if I have other custom requests that aren't options on this website?

We will provide any custom request you may have.  Just contact us with the details.

When can I expect my mug?

Your mug should ship within 48 hours of order / payment receipt.  Refer to the pricing page for the time it takes to ship via the different options.  Allow more time for large orders.

What process do you use to make your mugs?

We use dye-sublimation to imprint our mugs.  In this process the ink is forced into the coating of the mug using high pressure and high temperature.  This process puts the image below the surface of the mug.  This allows for much more durability than other mugs.

What is the difference between left-handed and right-handed mugs?

Yes, all mugs are the same, however, the orientation of the image and text on a standard mug can be reversed so that the picture is facing you no matter which hand you drink with.

Can I send in professional photos?

You must provide proof of permission to use a professional photo.  Talk to the studio where the shot was taken.

What do you do with my image files?

We will keep your image files for 30 days after shipping your mugs in case there is a problem with delivery, etc.  After this time they will be deleted.

Do you make company logo mugs and t-shirts?

Yes, we do make company logo mugs and t-shirts.  Discounts are available for large orders.  Click here for our bulk order pricing.

If I want birth announcement mugs and t-shirts should I call ahead for design and quantities?  How fast can you get them shipped?

Contact us so that we can make sure we have enough mugs or t-shirts  on hand when the special day arrives.  Then just send us the picture, date, weight, etc. and we will make them within 48 hours.

Can I preview the product design before it gets printed?
