The standard print area for an 11oz ceramic mug is approximately 8.5 inches wide by 3.5 inches tall (roughly 2550 x 1050 pixels at 300 DPI). This covers the wraparound area between the handle attachment points. Some suppliers provide slightly different dimensions, so check your specific fulfillment provider's template specifications.
Upload your PSD mockup template via the /api/v1/psd/upload endpoint. Then call the render endpoint with your template UUID and the URL of your design image. The rendering engine composites your artwork onto the white surface of the mug using Normal blend mode. Rendered images are returned in WebP, PNG, or JPEG format.
An 11oz mug is the standard size used by most POD providers, typically measuring about 3.75 inches tall with a 3.2-inch diameter. A 15oz mug is taller and wider, roughly 4.5 inches tall with a 3.4-inch diameter, offering a larger print area. Design templates for each size differ in aspect ratio and wrap dimensions, so using the correct template for your fulfillment provider's blank is important.
Yes. SudoMock mockup templates are designed specifically for commercial use in POD workflows. You render your designs onto the template via the API or Dashboard, then use the output images in your Etsy, Amazon, Shopify, or other marketplace product listings. The rendered output is yours to use commercially.
Normal blend mode is appropriate for ceramic mugs and other hard-surface products. Unlike fabric items where Multiply blend mode lets texture show through the design, glazed ceramic has a smooth, non-textured surface. Normal mode applies the design cleanly and opaquely onto the white area.
This template set includes six angles: a three-quarter elevated view showing the mug opening and handle, a straight-on front view, a handle-forward perspective, a lifestyle shot on a wood desk with keyboard and laptop, a detail close-up of the rim and handle, and a 45-degree top-down view showing the interior. Five angles use studio backgrounds; one uses an office desk setting.
This 11oz white ceramic mug template is compatible with the standard sublimation blanks offered by Printful, Printify, Gelato, and Redbubble. The mug form, handle style, and proportions match the generic 11oz ceramic mug that is the default offering across these providers. Verify exact print area dimensions with your specific provider before finalizing designs.
Yes. The SudoMock API supports batch rendering with parallel processing. Depending on your plan tier, you can run 1 to 25 concurrent renders. Each render costs $0.002. For a catalog of 500 mug designs across 6 angles, that would be 3,000 renders at a total cost of $6.00. The API accepts design image URLs and returns rendered mockups in sub-second response times.

Adobe Stock lists over 291,000 mug mockup assets, indicating substantial and sustained demand for ceramic mug product imagery across e-commerce and branding applications.
Volume of available mug mockup assets reflects how central this product category is to the POD and branding industries.
The standard 11oz ceramic mug is the most commonly offered sublimation blank across major POD fulfillment providers including Printful, Printify, and Gelato.
Fulfillment provider catalogs consistently feature the 11oz white ceramic mug as a core SKU, making it the default template size for mockup generation.
Product images are consistently cited as the single most influential factor in online purchase decisions across e-commerce research.
Mockup quality directly affects buyer confidence when physical inspection is not possible.
Multi-angle product photography showing at least three to four views per item is widely recommended by major marketplace seller guides for reducing return rates.
This six-angle template set exceeds the minimum recommendation, providing comprehensive product coverage.
SudoMock renders mockups at $0.002 per image, approximately 75 times cheaper than Adobe Photoshop API at $0.15 per render.
Cost efficiency is relevant for POD sellers generating mockups across hundreds or thousands of mug design variants.
“We render about 400 mug designs per week across our Etsy and Shopify stores. Having six angles per template means we can fill out a full product listing without any manual Photoshop work. The front view and the lifestyle desk shot are the two we use most in listings.”
“For ceramic mug templates, Normal blend mode is the correct choice. Unlike fabric mockups where Multiply lets texture show through, hard surfaces like glazed ceramic need the design applied cleanly without blending into surface grain.”
“The detail close-up of the handle and rim is something most free mockup packs skip. It matters for marketplace listings because buyers want to see the actual ceramic quality before they order a custom mug, especially for gifts.”
“I automated our entire mug catalog using the API. Upload the design file URL, pass it to the render endpoint with the template UUID, and get back six rendered angles in under a second. We went from spending two hours per design in Photoshop to about three seconds per design.”
“Ceramic mug mockups with smart object layers are among the most commonly used templates in print-on-demand product visualization, with large template libraries offering hundreds of PSD options for commercial use.”
“Mug mockup assets number in the hundreds of thousands on major stock platforms, reflecting sustained demand from e-commerce sellers and branding professionals who need consistent product imagery at scale.”
“The standard 11oz white gloss ceramic mug remains the most widely used blank for sublimation printing, with AAA-grade ceramic providing consistent color reproduction and durability through dishwasher cycles.”
This mockup template displays a plain white glossy ceramic mug photographed across six distinct camera angles. The mug is a standard cylindrical form with a classic C-handle, consistent with the 11oz ceramic drinkware commonly used in sublimation and print-on-demand workflows. Five of the six angles are shot in controlled studio environments with light gray backgrounds, while one angle places the mug on a light wood desk alongside a keyboard and laptop for office context. All surfaces of the mug are blank white with a high-gloss finish, providing a clean target area for design compositing.
The primary angle is a three-quarter elevated view with the handle visible at the right side. The camera sits roughly 15 to 20 degrees above horizontal, revealing the interior rim and the top opening of the mug. A laptop edge is partially visible in the background, placing the mug in a desk setting. Studio lighting produces a soft shadow beneath and to the right of the mug.
The second angle is a straight-on front view at eye level. The mug is centered in frame with the handle at the right side, showing the full front print area with accurate proportions. The background is a blurred modern office interior with glass partitions, overhead fluorescent panel lights, and dark office chairs. The mug sits on a light gray surface.
The third angle rotates the mug so the handle faces the camera in the foreground. The body of the mug is visible behind the handle, and the camera is positioned at a slight elevation. A gray studio background is used with directional lighting from the right that casts a long shadow to the left.
The fourth angle is a lifestyle context shot. The mug sits on a light wood desk surface. A white keyboard is visible to the left, a laptop screen edge to the upper left, and a dark notebook to the upper right. Warm directional light, possibly from a window, creates a diagonal shadow across the desk. The mug handle faces right, and the camera is positioned at a moderate overhead angle.
The fifth angle is a detail close-up focused on the handle and upper rim area. The camera is positioned at the right side of the mug, capturing the handle attachment points, the smooth rounded rim edge, and the glossy ceramic finish. The background is a flat neutral gray. Light reflections along the handle curve show the surface quality.
The sixth angle is a 45-degree top-down view showing the full interior of the mug, the rim circumference, and the handle extending to the right. The interior is white and empty. The gray background is visible around the mug, and soft lighting produces minimal shadow.
The mug shown across all angles is a white glossy ceramic vessel with a standard C-handle. The surface is uniformly white with no visible prints, logos, or markings - the blank area serves as the design placement zone for SudoMock's rendering engine. The glossy finish produces specular highlights under studio lighting, which are visible in the detail close-up and handle-forward angles.
For rendering, the Normal blend mode is appropriate for ceramic surfaces, applying designs cleanly onto the hard, non-textured surface. The wraparound print area covers the cylindrical body of the mug between the handle attachment points.
This template is designed for programmatic mockup generation through the SudoMock API or Dashboard Playground. It is suitable for e-commerce product listings on platforms such as Etsy, Amazon, and Shopify. The six angles provide sufficient coverage for a complete product catalog entry. The office lifestyle shot is useful for social media and marketing contexts. Compatible with POD fulfillment providers including Printful, Printify, and Gelato for sublimation-printed ceramic mugs.
