Glossy red thermo-sensitive mug | individual box
Thermo-sensitive ceramic mug with glossy red finish. On contact with hot liquids, the exterior changes color and reveals the sublimated image, and the effect returns as the contents cool.
The thermochromic ink coating is applied above the sublimation coating. At room temperature, the exterior is opaque. When a hot liquid is poured in, the thermochromic coating becomes transparent and reveals the printed image underneath. The effect is reversible and withstands hundreds of cycles.
