Mug Presses – Transfer Presses for Mugs & Tumblers
Mug presses transfer your designs exactly onto round objects such as mugs, tumblers and glasses using interchangeable heating elements. This gives you a precise and durable transfer result even on shaped surfaces. Whether a single standard format or a changing range of objects – with the right mug press you reliably cover your individual application needs.
With mug presses, the right heating element for your specific target object is what counts, in order to achieve a precise and even transfer result. In the Mug Presses category, Print Equipment offers you both compact and more powerful models for your needs. In the Mug Presses category you'll find the right press for your workflow.
What defines mug presses?
Mug presses transfer designs onto round and shaped objects using heat and interchangeable heating elements. A suitable heating element is decisive for a precise transfer result on your specific target object.
The typical use of a mug press is clearly structured:
- The matching heating element is inserted into the press without tools
- The mug, tumbler or glass is positioned on the heating element
- Temperature and pressing time are set digitally
- The press transfers the design evenly onto the round surface
Mug presses thus ideally complement our Transfer Presses category and are a sensible addition to our Flat Presses category.
Why mug presses are indispensable
Mug presses play an important role for transfer onto round and shaped objects. Only with a suitable mug press can a precise and durable result be achieved on mugs, tumblers and glasses.
The most important advantages include:
- Tool-free element change: Quick switching between different object sizes
- Digital control: Precise temperature and time settings for a reproducible result
- Wide range of objects: From classic mugs to latte glasses and conical vessels. Your individual target object is decisive for the choice.
- Scalable output: Available from compact to more powerful models
- Ideal for professional daily production: Popular with businesses with an individual mug and tumbler offering
This makes mug presses indispensable both for a small range and for a broad range of objects.
Which models are there?
In the Mug Presses category, both our MPR series and our more powerful RED MUG series are available to you.
MPR series
Our MPR series with the models MPR-1 and MPR-3 offers you a compact mug press with tool-free element change.

- MPR-3 including 6 heating elements (Ø60/72/80mm, latte glasses and conical vessels), temperature range up to 220°C

What to look out for when buying a mug press
If you want to buy a mug press, you should consider various factors in order to find the right solution for your needs.
Important criteria are:
- Range of objects: Clarify how many different object sizes you want to print
- Heating elements: Check whether the matching elements are available for your target objects
- Output: Choose the wattage to match your desired production pace
- Temperature range: Make sure the temperature range is sufficient for your transfer material
- Expandability: Consider whether you want to expand your range of objects later
The right selection ensures that you work precisely and flexibly when transferring onto round objects.
Mug presses for different applications
Depending on the range of objects and production pace, the demands on your mug press vary considerably. While our MPR series covers a broad, compact range of objects with its interchangeable heating elements, our RED MUG series provides a quicker pressing cycle with higher output.
The choice of the right press therefore depends strongly on how many different object sizes you print and how high your production pace should be. For a broad range of objects, many customers rely on the MPR-3 with its six supplied heating elements.
