Skip the guesswork with a mug template that is already the right size. This sublimation mug template is 216 × 89 mm (8.5 × 3.5 in) for an 11 oz mug, with 2 mm bleed, the safe zone and the handle gap marked while you design. Put your photos and text on it and download a 300 DPI PNG or PDF.

How to use the mug template

  1. Add your photo or start with a sample; the flat template opens with the print area, safe zone and handle zones marked.
  2. Choose a placement (one side, both sides, repeat or wrap-around) and drag or zoom the photo into place.
  3. Add text if you like. It always stays inside the safe zone.
  4. Tap Download, choose PNG or PDF and switch on Mirrored for sublimation paper if your printer needs it.

11 oz mug template size

  • Print area: 216 × 89 mm (8.5 × 3.5 in), centred opposite the handle.
  • Bleed: 2 mm on every side, so the file is 220 × 93 mm, 2598 × 1098 pixels at 300 DPI.
  • Safe zone: keep faces and text 4 mm from the rims and 6 mm from the ends at the handle.
  • Colour: sRGB; white areas are left unprinted, so the mug's own white shows.

Sublimation mug template, mirrored or not

Sublimation transfer paper is pressed face down onto the mug, so the print must be mirrored. Many printer drivers and print shops do this themselves; mirror only once.

The PDF keeps the image lossless at exactly 1:1, with a trim box marking the print area for print software.

Mug design template for wrap-around photos

Wide photos and panoramas fill the whole template from handle to handle. The app only offers wrap-around when your photo is wide enough, so faces are not cut in half.
