Mug Printing Investment
Pitch Deck

Why Now and What Problem Are You Solving?

The market is shifting toward personalized, fast-fulfillment gifts and promotional merchandise. We solve the pain point of slow, complex, and low-quality custom printing by offering a seamless online design tool and rapid, high-quality sublimation printing.

Market Timing and Urgency

• Demand for personalized gifts is surging.
• Current B2B printing fulfillment is often slow.
• Initial capital expenditure for Sublimation Printers is $25,000.

What Do You Do and Why Will You Win?

We provide vibrant, dishwasher-safe, custom-printed mugs via an intuitive e-commerce platform. We win by controlling the ceramic mug supply chain and leveraging efficient heat press business model operations to ensure superior quality and margin.

Unit Economics and Competitive Edge

Honesty, your unit economics are defintely solid. A Standard Ceramic mug sells for $25.00, but the direct unit COGS-including the blank mug cost ($0.80), ink ($0.10), and direct labor ($0.50)-is only $1.75. This allows for massive scaling, driving EBITDA from $119,000 in Year 1 to $759,000 by Year 5.

• Proprietary online design tool features reduce friction.
• High gross margins support aggressive marketing.
• In-house production ensures quality control labor.

Who Buys and How Big is the Opportunity?

We target two main customer segments: Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) gift-givers and B2B clients needing corporate branded mugs. The opportunity is substantial, with a forecast to produce 19,000 units across five product lines in 2026 alone, driving $525,000 in annual revenue.

Scaling Revenue Streams

The business model relies on product diversification (Standard Ceramic, Travel Mug, Beer Stein) and managing fixed overhead. Total annual fixed costs, including Production Facility Rent ($30,000) and Admin Office Rent ($12,000), total $61,800 annually before wages. Scaling unit volume is the clear lever here.

• Customer segments for corporate branded mugs are key.
• Focus on high-volume B2B printing fulfillment.
• Revenue streams for a sublimation printing service are diversified.
