Personalized Photo Mugs

Personalized Photo Mug

Where did it all began? Quite frankly, there doesn't seem to be much history on the “mug”, so I can only talk about what I have  seen and remember about personalized coffee mugs from years gone by.

Seems we all remember the only place to find photo mugs was around the malls  during the holiday season. Of course I am talking back in the ‘80s and or earlier where the print quality, fair at best, had a rather short life expectancy.

As the quality evolved through the ‘90s I remember seeing the migration of photo gifts being picked up by photo developing services.

It was around 1995 when Elso Graphics was born and moved into the photo gift arena, initially offering only custom printed  coffee mugs and mouse pads. It is for this reason we label our 11oz  standard “Elso Mug” as our “Signature Mug”, because this is  were it all began and this is what we're known for.
