New Glass Mug with Photo

A novelty mug made of frosted glass with a coloured photo imprint broadens FotoInsight’s range of personalised photo mugs. Online photo services like FotoInsight turn a digital image into a personal gift, which preserves memories in colour for many years. As a gift mug it can be a personal present or a funny present.

The frosted glass mug can be edited with a photo and text, allowing to further customize a ‘name mug’ with a photo print. The photographic mug is well suited for coffee, tea, milk and other non-translucent drinks which shine through the frosted glass and change

the photo background colour. The new glass mug and other photo crystal items can be edited directly online at http://fotoinsight.co.uk/gifts or through the FotoInsight Pro offline software client which is available as a free download.

The coating and heating of glass mugs is a technically much more demanding process than with traditional china mugs. In a special process the coating is treated with heat whereby it binds to the glass’ surface. Instead of a rubber like surface this new printed mug is as smooth and shiny as silk and also longer lasting than with other processes.

The Cambridge company FotoInsight is known as an online photo print service and for its poster, photo calendar and photobook printing as well as for its large range of photographic gift items, in which the glass mug is a new addition. The range of picture mugs also includes a ceramic coffee mug and a large traditional beer mug. The new glass photo mug is dishwasher resistant, 9.5 cm tall with a diameter of 8.2 cm and costs £5.99 (p&p £2.99) to anywhere in the UK, Ireland or Europe.

From Cambridge, FotoInsight’s Managing Director Klaas Brumann comments: “Photographic memories must never fade. Our technology is smarter, providing long lasting photo gifts in superior quality.”
