Overview
Colour changing mugs look plain and dark until someone pours a hot drink in; then the coating warms and your photo, message or logo appears. It is the mug for a reveal: a pregnancy announcement to the grandparents, a "will you be my bridesmaid" question, or a birthday photo that turns up with the first brew.
How a magic mug works
The answer is heat. The outside has a heat-sensitive coating that hides the print when the mug is cold and clears as it warms, so the design shows while the drink is hot and fades again as it cools. Because the reveal depends on the drink, it repeats every time the mug is used.
Personalised heat changing mugs: what to print
Pick something that rewards the wait. A photo, a short message or a name works better than fine detail, since the reveal is the point. Ideas that go down well:
- A baby scan photo with a due date, for the people you are telling.
- A wedding party question, a retirement message or an in-joke.
- A café or brand logo that appears with the first coffee, for a launch or a giveaway.

| Option | Choices | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Mug | Colour Changing | Design hidden when cold, shown when hot |

How many mugs, and the price
Order 1 to 99 mugs. Every colour and quantity is priced live on this page, and the cost per mug falls as the order grows, so a team order usually works out better value per mug than a handful.
Artwork and production time
Upload your print-ready artwork when you order. Every upload is checked automatically before it prints, and if yours is too small or blurry you can send a better one, send it later, add File check (£4.99), or add design help at checkout.
Saver production takes 8 working days once your order and artwork are confirmed, and faster speeds may be offered on the page. We do not promise next day mugs, so give yourself room before an event.
Delivery
UK mainland delivery costs £7.95 per basket rather than per item, and nothing when the goods total £100 or more. Highlands mainland addresses add £10; Northern Ireland and the islands are quoted before you pay.

Questions
Quick answers about colour changing mugs.
How do colour changing mugs work?
A heat-sensitive coating hides the design when the mug is cold. Pour in a hot drink and it clears, showing your print; it hides again as the mug cools.
Can I order one colour changing mug?
Yes. Order 1 to 10, or 20, 30, 40, 50, 75 or 99 of the same design.
Can I put a photo on a magic mug?
Yes. A photo, logo or message can be printed. Clear, bold images show best as the coating warms.
How should I wash a colour changing mug?
Hand wash it gently and keep it out of the microwave; heat and harsh scrubbing are hard on the coating.
How long do colour changing mugs take?
Saver production is 8 working days after your order and artwork are confirmed, then delivery. Faster speeds may be offered on the page; there is no next day service.
How much is delivery?
£7.95 per basket to UK mainland addresses, and free when your goods total £100 or more. Highlands mainland add £10; Northern Ireland and islands are quoted first.
What if my logo file is not good enough to print?
Every upload is checked automatically, and a file that is not good enough is stopped before payment. You can upload a better one, send it later, pay for a file check, or add our artwork and design service at checkout.

The star rating is the average of every published review. We never pay for reviews or give discounts or gifts in return for them.
Reviews show the reviewer's first name and initial. To have your own review taken down, contact us.
