Faded holiday mugs are usually victims of the wrong print method — not the dishwasher. Here's how ours are built to last.
Fired in, not stuck on
Cheap photo mugs use vinyl wraps or stickers that peel at the first hot cycle. Our ceramic mugs are kiln-fired: the artwork bonds with the glaze itself at over 700°C. Enamel campfire mugs get the same treatment. The print becomes part of the mug, not a layer on it.
Care that keeps colours vivid
Top-rack dishwashing is perfectly safe, though hand-washing keeps the gloss showroom-fresh longest. Avoid abrasive scouring pads on the printed area, and skip thermal shock — no freezer-to-boiling-water leaps. Follow that and the print will outlive the handle's shine.
Our promise
If your mug print ever fades, cracks or peels under normal use within a year, send a photo and we reprint or refund. That's the quality guarantee in action.
