Key Information
Why Choose Us
At Steel City, we know that when you put your branding on a product, you want it to be perceived as really good quality. We select our branded mugs to ensure they land well with your clients or team – coping with daily washing, the morning commute, and desk use without fading or leaking. We want these items to be used time and time again, giving you maximum brand exposure.
- Useful capacities: We pick everyday sizes that fit into people’s working lives – from desk mugs (270-420ml) to travel tumblers (330-470ml) and hydration cups (900-1200ml). We steer clients towards these capacities because they are practical for tea, coffee, and water, ensuring the item is used day-to-day rather than left in a cupboard.
- Visual proofs and branding: We always provide a proof before production so you can see exactly how your logo will look. Whether it’s laser engraving, a simple one-colour print, or a full-colour wrap (up to 290 x 105mm), we ensure the positioning is spot on. This guarantees consistency across repeat orders and ensures your brand stands out exactly as intended.
- Dishwasher durability: We recommend lines that are dishwasher safe (including top-rack-safe ceramics and dishwasher-safe reusables) because we know these products get washed daily in office kitchens. You want your logo to last as long as the mug does, ensuring your brand exposure continues well into the future.
- Leakproof for the commute: For items used out and about, we look for locking lids, screw-tops, and verified leakproof designs. If your team is throwing these into backpacks between meetings or on the train, we want to make sure they can do that with confidence and without spills.
- Temperature retention: We offer vacuum-insulated options (e.g., hot for 6 hours / cold for 8 hours) because for many, a warm drink is a comfort blanket during a long day. It ensures the drink is still enjoyable even if a meeting runs over or during a long commute.
- Sustainability and traceability: It’s really important that we don’t greenwash. We put forward recycled stainless steel (including GRS/RCS) and traceable materials like marine waste or coffee grounds. This gives you the full backstory of the product, which is great for your own credentials and internal communication.
- Clear lead times: We know deadlines can be tight. While average lead times are around 10-12 working days from proof approval, we’ll always be honest about what’s achievable. We can highlight lines with express turnaround if you have an urgent event coming up, so there are no surprises.
These benchmarks are where we start. If your budget or specific needs require it, our team can take a consultative approach to source bespoke drinkware, helping you narrow down the choice to get exactly what you need.
Our Mugs & Cups Range
- Fast turnaround: We suggest the Cambridge Earthenware Mug – White when you need something quickly. It offers a large 1-colour print area (185 x 70mm) and has a 5 Day Express Delivery option available. This helps you hit that urgent event deadline while still getting a quality branded result.
- Trusted leakproof design: We put forward the Circular & Co 8oz Recycled Coffee Cup – Marine Waste – Full Colour because of its brilliant backstory and functionality. With a 100% leakproof Trust-Lock™ 360° lid and dishwasher-safe build, it’s a product people will use day-to-day without worry, and it really supports sustainability goals.
- The classic desk mug: We choose the Clover Earthenware Mug – White at 420ml because it works perfectly as a daily office mug. It’s microwave and dishwasher safe, and the straight-sided white earthenware provides a clean, quality backdrop that makes your logo stand out.
- Hygiene and quality: We recommend the Black+Blum Insulated Leakproof Travel Cup for a more premium feel. The 100% leakproof, lockable lid disassembles for deep cleaning, which solves the common issue of hygiene. It’s a fantastic option for a welcome pack or a high-value client gift.
- Daily commuter choice: We suggest the Stanley AeroLight Transit Tumbler 470ml because it’s a brand people recognise and trust. With a leakproof locking screw-top lid, vacuum insulation (hot 6h / cold 8h), and dishwasher-safe credentials, it fits perfectly into a busy working life on the move.
- Long-lasting branding: We specify the Chili Concept Explorer Tumbler – Engraved for durability. Engraving on GRS recycled stainless steel means the branding won’t scuff, even with heavy daily use. It’s a 900ml bottle that will keep looking professional for years to come.

Just wanted to share some overwhelmingly positive feedback about James and his incredible team. I recently placed a very small, but crucial, order for an embroidered puffa jacket. My original supplier completely let me down, calling late on a Friday afternoon (3:00 PM) to push the committed delivery date from Tuesday to Thursday, which was too late for our filming schedule. In a panic, I called James's team at 3:05 PM that same Friday, honestly expecting a firm "no." However, I was met with unbelievably helpful and flexible service. The team, specifically Rowan and David, were absolutely first class! They went above and beyond, making it seem like nothing was too much trouble. Thanks to their efforts, the jacket will now be delivered on Wednesday—a whole day before we need it for filming! This is old-school customer service at its very best. I can't thank James and the team enough and will absolutely be ordering from them again in the future. Highly, highly recommend!

Steel City supplied magnets for us recently on behalf of one of our charity sector clients. Both David & Rowan from initial quote, through to overseeing the project itself were brilliant. Very pleased with the finished product, and quicker than initially expected. Thanks again, Marc

We have ordered several branded products from Steel City, and we have been extremely impressed by both the quality of the products themselves and also the service we've received from their fantastic team. Georgia in particular has been brilliant - her friendly demeanour and genuine willingness to help us make the right decisions for our business made the entire process seamless. No question was too trivial, and no request was ever too much trouble for her. Steel City has earned our trust as a reliable and customer-focused company, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality branded products with exceptional service to match. Thanks guys!

My first time using Steel City BM, what a great service, we delayed things and messed them about a bit but they still came up trumps, got the merchandise we wanted, printed with our Logos and delivered within the very short timeframe we gave them, excellent service. I would highly recommend using them

I am a repeat customer for a good reason and have been for years. Never let me down, courteous, friendly service, quality goods, lovely efficient firm to deal with (exemplary COMMUNICATION as well, which seems to be a commodity fast diminishing between client and supplier these days) and going forward I’ll be back again - at least twice a year with ever increasing volumes. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Great firm.

Ordered a bulk order of 500 branded notepads on the Monday and they had been delivered on the Friday! Impressively fast. Great quality products, and the customer service is the best i've experienced- both Rowan the Sales Administrator and Debbie the Account Manager were excellent, very rapid email response with all the info needed. We will continue to use Steel City for our company's branded merch.

Can't rate the team at Steel City Marketing highly enough. I've ordered a few different promotional items just recently and every single time, from start to finish, the service from Georgia & Rowan in particular, has been first class. Each item we have had (leather key fobs, feather flags and printed bags) are of an excellent quality and have been produced to a very high standard. I've always been pleasantly surprised at the quality, speed and with the exceptional service this company has always fulfilled our orders.

Highly recommend Steel City for all promotional items and gifts. The team were very helpful and supportive in helping us source what we were looking for and sent multiple free samples for us to test the quality prior to us making a final decision. Highly recommend Steel City and look forward to working with them again in the future. - Review on behalf of AUMA Actuators Ltd.
