1100ML Car Mug with Rotatable Handle – Professional Product Overview

1. Key Features

Die 1100ML Car mug is engineered for drivers who need a large-capacity, durable, and convenient drinking solution on the road. Below are its core features:

• Extra‑large 1100ML capacity – Perfect for long journeys, reducing the need for frequent refills.

• Rotatable handle integrated into the lid – The handle can be flipped up for easy carrying or folded down flat when not in use, saving space in the vehicle.

• Car‑friendly bottom diameter (8cm) – Designed to fit securely into standard automotive cup holders, preventing tipping during driving.

• Double‑wall stainless steel vacuum insulation – Keeps beverages hot or cold for hours. Hot coffee stays hot, and iced water remains chilled.

• Material composition – Inner wall made of food‑grade 304 stainless steel (rust‑resistant and safe for drinks); outer wall made of 201 stainless steel (cost‑effective and strong).

• Overall dimensions – 11.5cm (width) × 28cm (height) – slim enough to handle but tall enough to hold 1.1 litres.

• Customisable options – Upgrade to 316 stainless steel inner wall for superior corrosion resistance; various surface finishes (e.g., matte, glossy, sandblasted); any Pantone colour; custom logo/print; and bespoke gift boxes.

• MOQ – 3,000 pieces.

• Lead time – 35 days after order confirmation.

This Car mug combines practicality with robust construction, making it a top choice for bulk buyers and brands.

2. Benefits

Why choose this Car mug over ordinary travel cups? The benefits go beyond simple hydration.

2.1 Unmatched Capacity for Drivers

A 1100ML Car mug holds nearly twice as much as standard 500–600ml travel mugs. For truck drivers, commuters, or road‑trip enthusiasts, this means fewer stops and more focus on driving.

2.2 Space‑Saving Rotatable Handle

The integrated lid‑handle rotates 180°. When you need to carry the mug from the car to the office, flip it up. When placing it in the cup holder, flip it down – it won’t interfere with gear shifting or the dashboard. This clever design is exclusive to this Car mug model.

2.3 Perfect Fit for Cup Holders

Many large mugs are too wide at the base. This Car mug has an 8cm bottom diameter – the industry standard for most vehicle cup holders. No wobbling, no spilling.

2.4 Superior Temperature Retention

Double‑wall vacuum insulation with 304 stainless steel inner wall keeps your drink at the desired temperature for 6–8 hours. Whether it’s hot tea in winter or iced coffee in summer, this Car mug delivers consistent performance.

2.5 Safe & Durable Materials

• 304 inner wall – Non‑reactive, easy to clean, and won’t leach metals.

• 201 outer wall – More affordable yet strong enough to resist dents.

• Optional 316 stainless steel inner wall for customers who need extreme corrosion resistance (e.g., acidic juices or sports drinks).

2.6 Brand Customisation

Die Car mug can become your brand’s promotional vehicle. With custom colours, laser‑engraved or screen‑printed logos, and a premium printed colour box, you create a high‑perceived‑value product that stands out on store shelves.

2.7 Economical MOQ & Reliable Lead Time

At just 3,000 pieces, the MOQ is accessible for small to medium brands. The 35‑day lead time is realistic for vacuum‑insulated stainless steel production, allowing you to plan seasonal campaigns (winter hot drinks or summer cold beverages).

3. OEM/ODM Services

We offer full OEM/ODM flexibility for the Car mug. You are not limited to the standard 304+201 configuration. Below is what we can customise:

OEM Process

1. Concept – You provide sketches, reference images, or a brief.

2. 3D drawing & sample fee – We create technical drawings and a pre‑production sample (usually 15–20 days).

3. Sample approval – You test the sample for fit, insulation, and finish.

4. Mass production – MOQ 3,000 pieces, lead time 35 days from deposit.

5. Quality control – 100% inspection for vacuum sealing, surface defects, and lid function.

ODM Advantages

If you don’t have a design, we offer our own Car mug blueprint with tooling already available. You can simply select colours, logos, and packaging. This saves you the tooling cost (usually $2,000–$5,000) and shortens the lead time to 30 days.

4. Order Process

Ordering your custom Car mug is straightforward. Here is the step‑by‑step workflow:

1. Inquiry – Contact us with your desired quantity (≥3,000), customisation needs (material, colour, logo, box), and any special requests (e.g., 316 inner wall).

2. Quotation – We provide a proforma invoice (PI) with unit price, tooling cost (if any), sample charge, and estimated freight.

3. Sample approval (optional but recommended) – Pay the sample fee; we produce 1–3 pieces and ship to you. Sample lead time: 12–18 days.

4. Deposit – 50% deposit of the total order value to start mass production.

5. Produktion – Lead time 35 days after deposit confirmation. You receive weekly photo/video updates.

6. Quality inspection – Before shipment, we send you a video of random pull tests, vacuum tests, and visual checks. Third‑party inspection (e.g., SGS, Intertek) is available at your cost.

7. Balance payment – 50% balance before shipping.

8. Shipping – By sea, air, or express based on your timeline. We assist with customs documents (commercial invoice, packing list, AWB, and origin certificate).

9. After‑sales – 1‑year warranty against vacuum failure or material defects.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (6 Questions)

Here are six common questions buyers ask about this Car mug.

Q1: Can I use the Car mug for carbonated drinks or milk?

A: Yes, but with care. The 304/316 inner wall is non‑reactive, so carbonated drinks won’t corrode it. However, pressure buildup may cause leakage through the lid vent. For milk or dairy, we recommend cleaning the mug immediately after use because the lid’s small crevices can trap residue. The vacuum insulation keeps milk cold, but don’t leave it for more than 6 hours.

Q2: Is the rotatable handle strong enough to hold 1100ml of liquid?

A: Absolutely. The handle is made of reinforced food‑grade plastic (or optional stainless steel) and is anchored to the lid with a metal pin. It has been load‑tested to hold up to 2.5kg – well above the 1.2kg weight of a full Car mug. The rotating mechanism uses a friction hinge that remains firm even after 10,000 cycles.

Q3: Can I put the Car mug in a dishwasher?

A: We recommend hand‑washing only. The vacuum insulation is not damaged by dishwashers, but the high heat and strong detergents may degrade the lid’s silicone seal and fade custom prints. The rotatable handle’s moving parts could also collect water. A quick hand wash with mild soap preserves the mug’s appearance and function for years.

Q4: What is the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel for the inner wall?

A: Both are food‑grade, but 316 contains molybdenum, which makes it more resistant to chlorides (salt) and acids. For a Car mug used with coffee, tea, or water, 304 is perfectly safe and durable. Choose 316 if you plan to store sports drinks, lemonade, or tomato juice for long periods, or if you require medical‑grade hygiene. The cost difference is approximately $0.50–$0.80 per unit.

Q5: Do you have a lower MOQ than 3,000 for a trial order?

A: For a standard Car mug (304 inner, 201 outer, no custom colour/logo), we can accept a trial of 1,000 pieces at a slightly higher unit price. For full customisation (316, specific colour, print, and gift box), 3,000 is the minimum because the factory needs to run efficient batches for vacuum forming, painting, and laser marking. We suggest ordering 1,000 plain mugs and then having a local printer add your logo – this can lower the initial investment.

Q6: How do you ensure the vacuum insulation does not fail?

A: Each Car mug undergoes a two‑stage vacuum test. First, during assembly, we use a vacuum pumping machine that seals the double walls. Second, after production, we perform a thermal test (fill with hot water, measure temperature after 4 hours) on 5% of each batch. We also use a helium leak detector for random samples. The failure rate is less than 0.2%. If any mug loses its vacuum within one year, we replace it free of charge (excluding shipping).
