A person’s style says a lot about him or her. From hiking boots to tennis shoes, blue jeans to tailored suits, what people wear serves as a visual representation of their story, message, and style. In the same way, the glaze style and color of the custom stoneware used in your brewery or coffee shop say quite a bit about your brand. –
Whether they showcase your logo, complement your color scheme, or simply highlight the delicious beverages you serve, mugs matter. Are yours telling the most beneficial story for your brand? Here’s what you need to know to make an informed decision.
Glazed to Perfection
Choosing to integrate handmade steins or mugs into your beverage service or merchandise offerings already makes your business stand out. Multiply the effect by adding the perfect glaze style and color to complement your business, and you’re set with unique, branded merchandise.
Is your style edgy? Black and red glaze with a glossy finish adds the perfect punch. Do your beverages offer customers a moment of quiet peace in the middle of a hectic day? Periwinkle glaze keeps the good vibes going by encouraging tranquility with every sip. Get the idea? Here’s a quick overview of the potential colors and styles just waiting to grace your business.

Picking the Perfect Hue
When you’re presented with dozens of different options for anything, it can be quite difficult to make a decision. Here are a few things to think about when choosing a glaze color and style for your handmade mugs or steins.
Your Brand Personality
When you hear “Nike” or “McDonald’s,” you probably also think of those companies’ famed logos—the simple swoosh and golden “M.” What comes to mind when you consider your business? A particular color, mood, or feeling? Be sure that whatever mug color you choose fits your brand’s personality.
Potential for Name Recognition
Will every beverage ordered at your coffee shop or brewery be served in a custom mug? If so, the potential for brand recognition and expansion (hello, Instagram-worthy shots!) means all eyes will be on your mugs or steins. Strategically choosing a glaze color and style not only communicates your brand personality, but also allows customers to spread the word about your shop through social media. The more attractive your mugs are, the more likely they are to grace the feeds of social media profiles everywhere. Does the glaze color you’re considering invite consumers to promote your brand for you?
Providing Real Value
When it comes to branded merchandise, many companies are under the impression that bigger and bolder will always leave the best impression. However, the real point of offering custom branded coffee mugs or beer steins is to offer customers something that they will really use and find valuable. Which glaze color and style do you think your customers would be most drawn to? Or, when you make your coffee in the a.m., which mug do you reach for, and why? How can you adapt that style and make it your own?
