Focus on Promotional Products
Opening our focus on promotional products is Listawood, explaining the benefits of the ceramic mug and the dye sublimation print process.
LISTAWOOD Simply stunning ceramics S
urveys carried out by the British Promotional Merchandise Association show that ceramic mugs are consistently voted as one of the top
five of the most effective promotional products. Imagine how many times a day a promotional message gets seen on a mug in the office or home; not only by the drinker but others around them. The research also confirms that promotional mugs are kept the longest; on average for almost three years. The dye sublimation print process offers stunning full colour image reproduction; simply unobtainable by any other means. This process is incredibly flexible and lends itself to a variety of applications including one off photo gifts and large volume promotional orders. Setting up to decorate mugs by dye sublimation needs a relatively low investment and with the help and support of sublimation experts, itʼs easy to get started with a printer, special sublimation inks and paper and a mug press. Suppliers such as Listawood Trade Supplies offer start up packages including all of the equipment you need and some mugs to get you going. Listawood Trade Supplies has been supplying sublimation equipment, consumables and printable items for over 10 years, today it is the most technologically advanced manufacturer of PhotoMugs and other dye sublimation products in the world.

PhotoMugs are the only 100% dishwasher proof mug on the market. Independent tests show that they will not fade and stay as good as new for over 2,000 washes whereas other mugs tested start to fade from as little as 50 washes (less than a month in an office environment). The unique Duraglaze coating was developed over 10 years ago especially for dye sublimation printing , making sure that previous memories or valuable corporate branding doesnʼt fade and lasts for the lifetime of the product. Listawood doesnʼt just supply products and equipment for decoration, it is also one of Europeʼs largest manufacturers of promotional items. It has a trade only policy and has a record breaking reputation for customer service. This means that Listawood can also help with larger runs, utilising its state-of-the-art, UK-based, manufacturing facility. Alex Turner, Listawoodʼs managing
director, said: “Customers who have invested in establishing production specifically for small runs of ceramics and other promotional items often get asked for orders for quantities in the hundreds or thousands but due to capacity issues often turn the orders away. “We are one of Europeʼs largest volume sublimation decorators and uniquely, offer a turnkey solution to our customers; supplying them with consumables for small production runs and producing larger runs where they can typically make a 30-50% margin.” A wide selection of blank Duraglaze coated body styles can be purchased from Listawood.
