Product Brochure: Stainless Steel & Plastic Insulated Mug (340ML)

1. Featured Product: 340ML Insulated Mug

• Premium Material Composition:

  • Inner Lining: Made of high-grade 304 stainless steel (18/8). 304 steel contains 18% Chromium and 8% Nickel, making it highly resistant to oxidation and corrosion. It ensures no metallic taste transfers to your beverage and is exceptionally durable.

  • Outer Shell: Made of high-quality, food-safe plastic. This material is lightweight, impact-resistant, and provides excellent insulation when combined with the steel inner wall. It allows for vibrant and durable color customization.

  • Silicone Seals & Sliding Lid: The sliding lid mechanism incorporates food-grade silicone gaskets. This ensures a leak-proof seal, keeping your drink secure during travel. The silicone is heat-resistant, odorless, and easy to clean.

• Optimal Design & Dimensions:

  • Capacity: 340ML (approximately 11.5 oz). This is an ideal volume for a single serving of coffee, tea, or water, fitting most car cup holders perfectly.

  • Dimensions: 9.5cm (Width) x 9.5cm (Length) x 14cm (Height). A compact and ergonomic design that is easy to hold and store.

  • Wide Mouth & Sliding Lid: The wide mouth allows for easy filling, drinking, adding ice cubes, and thorough cleaning. The smooth-action sliding lid offers convenient one-handed operation.

2. Key Benefits for Users

• Superior Temperature Retention: The vacuum insulation technology between the 304 stainless steel inner wall and the outer plastic shell effectively minimizes heat transfer. It keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold for extended periods.

• Safety & Health Assurance: The use of 304 stainless steel (a food-contact standard globally) and food-safe plastics/silicone ensures that no harmful substances (like BPA or lead) leach into your beverages.

• Durability & Daily Use: 304 steel is highly resistant to dents and corrosion. The plastic outer shell protects the inner vacuum layer from external impacts, making the mug robust for daily commute, outdoor activities, or office use.

• Branding & Aesthetic Appeal: The customizable outer shell offers a fantastic canvas for your brand. You can imprint logos, designs, or use brand-specific colors, turning a functional item into a powerful marketing tool or a cohesive part of a product line.

6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is the 304 stainless steel inner liner truly rust-proof?
A1: Yes. 304 (18/8) stainless steel is an austenitic steel with excellent corrosion resistance. It is highly resistant to rust and oxidation from water and most beverages, ensuring long-term hygiene and durability.

Q2: Can the mug be used for both hot and cold drinks? Is it dishwasher safe?
A2: Absolutely. The vacuum insulation works for both hot and cold liquids. The mug is top-rack dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. However, for longevity of the exterior print and silicone seals, hand washing is recommended.

Q3: How long does the customization process take for a new color or logo?
A4: For standard color matching and logo printing, the process is integrated into our 25-day lead time once the artwork is approved. Creating a completely new shell mold (ODM) would require additional time (approx. 30-45 days) for mold development.

Q4: Do you provide all necessary documentation for customs clearance?
A5: Yes. With every shipment, we provide a complete set of commercial documents including Commercial Invoice, Packing List, and Bill of Lading/Air Waybill. Upon request, we can also provide the relevant Material Test Reports.

Q5: What is your policy if defective products are found upon arrival?
A6: We maintain rigorous QC. However, if any quality issues are identified, please notify us with photos/videos within 7 days of cargo receipt. We will investigate promptly and propose a fair solution, which may include replacement for defective units or a discount on the next order, according to our quality guarantee policy.
