The custom mug market is booming. With global Print-on-Demand (POD) sales reaching record highs, personalized mugs have become one of the top-selling POD products, especially across platforms like Etsy, Amazon, and Shopify.
To help businesses meet increasing demand while reducing labor and error, Microtec introduces a complete mug automation solution — combining:
KP-650 Smart Cutting Machine – For precise film/paper cutting
MWM-10 Auto Mug Wrap Machine – For fast, uniform paper application
M15 Robotic Mug Heat Press – With 15 stations for continuous, high-volume mug transfers
Together, these three machines automate the entire mug decoration process — from film cutting to wrapping to transfer — enabling end-to-end efficiency with minimal human intervention.
15-station robotic heat press — 250+ mugs/hour output
Intelligent PLC control with precision heat/pressure management
Robotic mug feeding & gripping system for seamless transfer
Full-wrap mug heating technology for perfect edge-to-edge prints
Scalable setup with options for 5, 10, or 15 stations
Integrated cooling system for improved efficiency & safety
According to industry research, custom drinkware accounts for over 60% of high-volume POD orders, and the average fulfillment time is becoming a competitive factor. Manual and semi-auto workflows are struggling to keep pace with:
Mass-order processing
Tight shipping windows
Error-free printing at scale
With the M15 system, businesses can now triple their output while reducing dependency on skilled labor. Whether you're running a POD fulfillment center or a large promotional print shop, this system positions you for growth, speed, and consistency.
