Double-Wall  Car Mug with Handle – Stainless Steel Lined Travel Mug

1. Features & Specifications

• Double-Wall Hybrid Construction: Features an innovative two-material build:
  • Inner Layer: Made from 304 (18/8) Food-Grade Stainless Steel. This forms the liquid-contact surface, ensuring drinks taste pure, remain uncontaminated, and are easy to clean. This is the core element that defines the hygiene and quality of this Stainless Steel Mug.
  • Outer Layer: Made from durable, impact-resistant Polypropylene (PP) plastic. This provides excellent insulation against external temperature, preventing the outer wall from becoming too hot or too cold to touch, and offers a superior canvas for vibrant colors and prints.
• Integrated Handle & Push-Pull Lid: Comes with a sturdy, ergonomic handle integrated into the body design for secure and comfortable carrying. The lid features a convenient push-pull mechanism for easy, one-handed opening and closing, ensuring spill resistance during travel.
• Complete Drink System Accessories: Includes two dedicated accessories for enhanced beverage enjoyment:
  • Silicone-Sleeved Straw: A reusable straw with a soft, food-grade silicone sleeve. This protects teeth, provides a comfortable drinking experience, and prevents clinking against the Stainless Steel Mug interior.
  • PP Tea Infuser: A removable, fine-mesh tea basket made from food-safe PP plastic. Perfect for brewing loose-leaf tea, fruit infusions, or preventing ice/tea leaves from entering the mouth.
• Optimized Capacity & Car-Friendly Design: With a generous 750ml capacity, it holds enough liquid for long trips. Its dimensions (11.5cm width x 9cm depth x 20.3cm height) are specifically designed to fit most standard car cup holders. At approximately 250g, it is remarkably lightweight for its size.
• Full-Scale Customization: This Stainless Steel Mug is a premier vehicle for branding. The outer PP layer is exceptionally receptive to:
  • Surface Finishes: Glossy, matte, or textured finishes.
  • Colors & Graphics: Any Pantone color can be matched. High-quality printing (silk-screen, UV digital print, or heat transfer) allows for complex patterns, photographic images, and logos with excellent durability.
• MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity): 3,000 units for custom private label orders.

2. Benefits for the End-User

This hybrid Stainless Steel Mug delivers a unique set of advantages that cater directly to practical, everyday needs, especially for on-the-go lifestyles.

• Perfect Temperature & Tactile Comfort: The air gap between the inner stainless steel and outer PP wall provides effective insulation. It keeps beverages at their desired temperature longer than a single-wall cup while ensuring the exterior remains comfortably cool to the touch with hot drinks and condensation-free with cold ones—a key benefit of this Stainless Steel Mug design.
• Superior Taste & Health Safety: The 304 stainless steel interior guarantees no plastic taste transfer, is rust-resistant, and prevents absorption of odors or stains. It offers a clean, safe drinking surface that outperforms fully plastic or ceramic travel mugs.
• Unmatched Versatility & Convenience: The included accessories transform a simple cup into a complete beverage system. Users can enjoy iced drinks with the straw, brew tea on the go with the infuser, or sip directly from the rim. The handle and car-friendly shape make it the ideal companion for drivers.
• Durable & Lightweight: The tough PP outer shell resists cracks, chips, and drops that might damage ceramic or pure metal mugs. Its lightweight nature (250g) reduces fatigue, making this Stainless Steel Mug perfect for hiking, commuting, or carrying in a backpack.
• Easy Maintenance: Both the stainless steel interior and the removable PP accessories are dishwasher-safe (top rack recommended) and stain-resistant. The wide mouth allows for easy cleaning by hand.
• High-Impact Branding Opportunity: For businesses, the printable PP exterior offers a vast, durable area for logos and marketing messages. A custom-branded Stainless Steel Mug provides daily, high-visibility advertising that is both useful and appreciated by customers, enhancing brand loyalty.

5. FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q1: Is this mug fully insulated like a vacuum flask? What is its保温 (heat retention) performance? A: This Stainless Steel Mug uses a double-wall air insulation design, not a vacuum seal. It is designed for “drinkable temperature” retention and exceptional tactile comfort. It will keep hot drinks warm and cold drinks cool for a practical period (e.g., 1-2 hours for heat) and is primarily focused on preventing the outer wall from becoming hot. For extended thermal retention (6+ hours), a fully vacuum-sealed stainless steel mug is recommended.

Q2: Is the stainless steel inner layer safe and certified? A: Absolutely. The inner layer is made from 304 Food-Grade Stainless Steel, which is a global standard for food and beverage containers. It is lead-free, BPA-free, and complies with FDA/EU food contact material regulations. Certificates can be provided upon request.

Q3: Are the straw and tea infuser included in the standard package? A: Yes, one silicone-sleeved straw and one PP tea infuser are included as standard accessories with each Stainless Steel Mug. They can also be customized (e.g., straw color, infuser mesh size) in large quantity orders.

Q4: How durable is the print/logo on the outer plastic body? Will it fade or scratch? A: We use advanced printing techniques (like UV curing) that bond the ink deeply with the PP plastic. The prints are highly resistant to fading from washing and general abrasion. For ultimate durability, we also offer in-mold labeling (IML) for large-volume orders, where the graphic is fused under a protective plastic layer.

Q5: Can we order different lid colors or straw colors separately from the body color? A: Yes, we can. The lid (PP) and the silicone sleeve can be color-matched or contrasted independently. Custom colors for these components may have minimum quantity requirements per color.

Q6: Is the 3,000 MOQ firm for a first order with custom printing? A: The 3,000-piece MOQ is standard to ensure cost-effective color matching, setup, and printing. However, for simpler orders (e.g., using a standard body color with a simple logo), we may consider a slightly lower MOQ for a first-time partnership. Please discuss your specific needs with us.
