How to Customize Travel Mugs
Travel mugs are a common item found among most adults who drink coffee or tea in the morning on their way to work. They keep your beverage warm and allow you to take it with you on the go so that you don’t have to drink it all before traveling. A variety of travel mugs are sold in stores in a variety of styles, but if you have a customizable travel mug, you can use the same mug and change up your design.

Create a customizable travel mug online at a website that allows you to upload the design that you want to be imprinted onto your travel mug. Simply select the shape and style of mug that you want, input your debit or credit card information as well as your billing and shipping information and the company will make the travel mug with your photo or design on it and ship it to you. If you customize a travel mug using this method, then the design is permanently imprinted on the travel mug.

Purchase a customizable travel mug online and use the travel mug template maker to upload your photos, clipart and more and then arrange them within the template maker how you want them. Online travel mug template makers also offer you numerous design templates from which to choose, add to and customize. Then you simply load your printer with printer paper, print the design, unscrew the bottom of the travel mug, slide the printer design within the travel mug and then rescrew the bottom to the travel mug back to the bottom of the mug. This type of travel mug’s design can be changed as frequently as you wish since the design is placed within the mug rather than made onto it.

Purchase a customizable travel mug in a store or online that features a bottom that can be unscrewed. Launch your computer’s image editing program (e.g. Microsoft Paint or Mac Paintbrush) and create your design within it by using the paintbrush tool, the pencil tool, the shape tool, the clipart tool, the spray paint tool, the text tool and more. Also copy and paste photos and images from your computer into the template if you wish. Then print the design, unscrew the bottom of the mug, slide the printed design into the mug and replace the bottom.

Tips & Warnings
You can also create a design template on notebook paper, colored paper, computer paper or any kind you want with crayons, pens, pencils, magic markers and more; you don’t have to use a computer to customize your travel mug design.
If you use a travel mug that unscrews on the bottom, you might want to unscrew the bottom and remove your design when you wash it so that water doesn’t get into the mug and distort or ruin your template.
