Creating mug mockups manually takes 10+ minutes per design. Opening Photoshop, placing artwork, adjusting for wraparound, and exporting—repeated for every size and color variant. This bottleneck limits how fast you can list new products and scale your catalog.
78% of POD sellers spend 5+ hours/week on mockups
No Size/Variant Automation
Managing 11oz vs 15oz variants requires double the work. Each mug size needs separate mockups for front, back, and wraparound views. Without automation, adding a new design means creating 6+ mockup variations manually before you can even list it.
Average 3 size variants per design
Scale Limitations
Free tools like Canva lack batch export and API access. Subscription tools charge $9-29/month but still require manual work for each mockup. When the drinkware market hits $10.77B by 2031, you need automation to capture demand—not UI-based workflows.
