Ceramic Print with Firing

Ceramic print with firing

Ceramic print with firing is a proven branding method for promotional items, especially mugs, drinkware and gift sets. The result is a clean, durable finish with long-term resistance in everyday use. You can compare this method with others on our printing technologies page.

What is ceramic print with firing?

The artwork is first printed with special inks onto decal paper. After transfer to the product, the item is fired at a high temperature, which permanently bonds the design with the surface. This makes the print highly durable for regular handling and dishwasher cleaning.

The method is ideal where long service life and a premium visual result matter. It is commonly used for ceramic, porcelain and selected glass products in the drinkware category.

We print only on promotional items supplied by us. Before production, we always prepare a visual proof for approval, so the final placement, size and color handling are clear.
