    Photo Thermal Mugs

    • Sometimes referred to as a "photo mug," one of the most popular thermal mug projects available to make at home is the double-walled, insulated travel mug. A number of craft stores and online personalization shops offer these types of mugs, which are easily customized by slipping photos for display into a clear plastic sleeve that surrounds the thermal mug container. This easy thermal mug project can be adapted to use any design on paper or thin material that can be inserted into the mug, and it does not require expensive printing or engraving.

    Stainless Steel Thermal Mugs

    • Print-on-demand companies such as Cafe Press offer stainless steel thermal mugs that can be printed or engraved with any picture or design. Upload a picture, graphic design, favorite saying or logo to the print-on-demand website. The company then reproduces your image onto a stainless steel thermal mug from your file. Printing on a stainless steel mug creates a finish that has a softened look when blended with the metallic finish. Although not true to the colors of the original photo or design, a graphic image can be an interesting end product on metal.

    White Thermal Mugs

    • Pure white surfaces also are available from print-on-demand vendors for personalized thermal mug projects. Just like printing on a stainless surface, pictures, images or graphics can be uploaded to a vendor website, then reproduced on a white background. The advantage of this project is that the white background offers a surface that maintains the integrity of the original colors from your image.

    High-End Thermos Brand Products

    • Taking it all a step further, Cafe Press also offers a line of high-end Thermos brand thermal products for customization. Long known for high quality and longevity, a project using a Thermos brand product can last for many years -- although these products are much more expensive than the average photo or print-on-demand lines.
