From clay to mug

From clay to mug

Since 2015, our company has been specializing in creating high-quality ceramic mugs, so it would be nice to share the unique process of creating a ceramic mug.

It all starts with clay

Clay preparation: The first step in making a ceramic mug is to prepare the clay, which involves mixing the clay with water to create a workable consistency. 

 

Shape it

Molding is a process we use to shape raw materials into a desired form. In the case of ceramic mugs.

 

Make it durable

After we mold the clay into the desired shape, we dry it to remove any excess moisture. Once the clay is dry, it is placed in a kiln and fired at a low temperature. The heat from the kiln causes the clay to harden and become more durable.

Biscuit firing is an essential step in the production of ceramics, as it gives the clay strength and makes it less brittle. It also prepares the clay for the next step in the production process, which is glazing.

 

The glaze firing is a process used in the production of ceramics. It refers to the firing of the glazed ceramic piece at a high temperature (around 1280°C) to fix the glaze to the piece's surface.

After we glazed the ceramic piece, we placed the mugs in a kiln and fired them at a high temperature. The heat from the kiln causes the glaze to melt and bond to the piece's surface. This process is also known as "glost firing."

The glaze firing is an essential step in the production of ceramics, as it gives the glazed surface a glossy finish and makes it more resistant to wear and tear. It also allows for a wide range of colors and finishes.

Make it personal

First, we design and print our decal onto the decal paper using an inkjet printer. We cut out the decal and soak it in water until it is fully saturated. Carefully slide the decal onto the mug and smooth out any air bubbles. We let the decal dry, then brush a thin layer of transparent glaze over it. Finally, bake the mug in a kiln or oven to set the glaze and make the decal permanent.

 

Make it a gift

We do not only care about the quality of your mugs, but also the customer experience. We put every mug in an individual gift box with foam protection not only helps to ensure that it arrives to the customer in perfect condition, but also adds a special touch for a gift recipient. It's the little details like this that makes sets Triple Gifffted apart.

 

Control the quality

Our inspection company is responsible for evaluating the quality and safety of איק ceramic mugs before they are sold or distributed to our consumers. The inspection involves various activities, such as checking for defects in the ceramic material, ensuring that the mugs meet safety and health standards, and verifying that the mugs meet our specifications and requirements.

 

Food-grade testing
