Review: Good quality sturdy and very easy to use - Very easy to use so impressed with this cup press easy to use value for money size is good doesn’t take a lot of space fits on shelf when not in use very sturdy Review: A joy to use. - This arrives double boxed (a sturdy brown branded cardboard box with the printed product box inside) measuring approx 35cm x 22.5cm x 26cm. This means the product box arrives in perfect condition & would be easy to wrap - either in the outer or inner box. Inside you get the mug press (sealed in plastic) with a 3 pin plug for use in the UK plus a 2 pin EU plug & a USB C cable which you need to set up & activate the product. I am already registered with Cricut so this was a very quick straightforward process for me. I plugged in the mug press, connected the press to my computer, logged in & activated. In order to actually use this, as a minimum you need to get the following materials. A mug treated for sublimation. You can buy Cricut own brand mugs or others marked as for Sublimation & there are loads on desertcart. They need to be straight sided as the press is. Infusible ink - this could be sheets of infusible ink, a set of infusible ink pens or a sublimation printer with sublimation inks & paper. You should also have some butcher paper to wrap around the outside of the mug & some heat resistant tape to make sure your design is in full contact with the mug surface. Although you are unlikely to get any ink on the inside of your press if using infusible ink sheets, if ink does get on it this can transfer to your next project & spoil it. Using infusible ink pens or prints from a sublimation printer are more likely to leak through so it is important to protect your press by wrapping 2 or 3 layers of butcher paper between the walls of the mug press & the outside of the mug. Finally, you need something to put the very hot mug on when you take it out of the press (the mats for using with the straight presses work or a trivet from the kitchen would do equally well) & a heat resistant glove is also a good idea. You could just leave it to cool down where it is but if you are like me, you won't want to wait. If you have a Cricut (or similar) you can use the Cricut design program & search for the Mug set up template which is free & has templates for a variety of different sized mugs. I used my Cricut Maker to cut out designs from infusible ink sheets. You need to remember to mirror your design because when you put it on your mug it will be the reverse of the image you create - really important if you want writing on it as otherwise it will look like mirror writing. It's incredibly simple to use & once you've activated it, the press does not need to be connected to your computer to use. Remember it does get very hot inside so to keep children away when it's plugged in. You just plug it in, turn it on & when it has heated up to the correct temperature (takes a few minutes) the light turns green & you put your mug in then lower the handle to secure it against the heat plates. There are a series of little lights on the top which light up in turn until they are all done. Then it beeps & that means your mug is done (the handle will be cool but the rest of the mug will be very hot & stay that way for some time). That's it. So, why would you do all that? Well, in our family we have a lot of unusual names you just don't see on a mug, so we can make our own. I also had my own designs I wanted to make which I can now do with this. The results you get if you are careful & practice a bit are fabulous. Once you have printed your mug, you cannot see or feel a difference between the printed & unprinted areas on the mugs. Mine were glossy & remain so even after being put through the dishwasher & used in the microwave. They look like I purchased them. If you run a small business, you can whip up a 'branded' mug of your own, either for your own use, or staff use, or as promotional materials for valued customers. You won't need to order from someone else & guess how many you need, because you can just get the blank mugs & only make as many as you want at one time. If you change your design you can instantly be printing your new updated branding without having old stock to use up first. This is something people who love to make things but are not necessarily naturally artistic can make. You can find many projects (some free, some paid) that you can use & customise to create exactly what you want & get a fantastic result with ease. If you are artistic, you can go wild with freehand drawings & create something special of your own. I let my kids draw with infusible pens to create their own images (on mug sized sublimation sheets) & I will treasure their mugs far more than any 'mum' mug they could have bought for me in the shops. I'm trying money boxes next week as I found some I think will fit. Now I just need to save up for a sublimation printer so I can print photo mugs/other very complex images. I can't wait. ## Features - Cricut Mug Press for 11-16 oz (350-470 ml) Infusible Ink compatible mugs* - Make pro mugs in minutes with easy, one-touch settings - Patented heat plate technology - Get peel-proof, dishwasher-safe results with Infusible Ink materials - Thoughtful safety features include auto-off ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09KZ5QL52 | | Best Sellers Rank | 152,003 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 160 in Printmaking (Home & Kitchen) | | Brand | Cricut | | Brand Name | Cricut | | Colour | White | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,059 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00093573592072 | | Included Components | Cricut Mug Press, USB cable for activation | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 6L x 7W x 26H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Cricut Mug Press | | Item Weight | 3 Kilograms | | Item weight | 3 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Cricut | | Manufacturer Part Number | 2008736 | | Material | Sonstiges Material | | Material Type | Sonstiges Material | | Model Number | 2008736 | | Product dimensions | 6L x 7W x 26H centimetres | | Recommended Uses For Product | home | | Recommended uses for product | home | | UPC | 093573592072 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Upper Temperature Rating | 160 Degrees Celsius | | Voltage | 220 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Cricut - **Colour:** White - **Item weight:** 3 Kilograms - **Material:** Sonstiges Material - **Product dimensions:** 6L x 7W x 26H centimetres ## Images ![Cricut Mug Press | Heat Press for Sublimation Mug Projects | Use with Infusible Ink Materials & Mugs (11oz - 16oz) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/510DnQUWDvL.jpg) ![Cricut Mug Press | Heat Press for Sublimation Mug Projects | Use with Infusible Ink Materials & Mugs (11oz - 16oz) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71c-ajzhhDL.jpg) ![Cricut Mug Press | Heat Press for Sublimation Mug Projects | Use with Infusible Ink Materials & Mugs (11oz - 16oz) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Jx67FUaIL.jpg) ![Cricut Mug Press | Heat Press for Sublimation Mug Projects | Use with Infusible Ink Materials & Mugs (11oz - 16oz) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Nzy8u1olL.jpg) ![Cricut Mug Press | Heat Press for Sublimation Mug Projects | Use with Infusible Ink Materials & Mugs (11oz - 16oz) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716+pUtetgL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: does this have a uk plug** A: Yes, it definitely has a UK plug included in the box. :-) **Q: Can this do all size mugs** A: Hi No it really only does the two Cricut mug sizes 10, 12 and 15 oz. It does sizes inbetween I did a non Cricut 11oz perfectly. However, it doesn’t do Tumblers or can glasses very well. There are non branded generic presses where you can buy the inserts for different sizes I believe, I’d buy one of them if I was to buy again. The Cricut mug press is easy for mugs but if you want to do anything else and do it well consistently then I’d shop around. Hope that helps. **Q: Do you have to use a printer for the ink sheets?** A: Hi you have to use sublimation ink in a compatible printer if you want to use printed images Or you can buy sublimation printed images Alternatively there’s lots of patterned infusible ink you can buy as well as plain infusible ink vinyl **Q: It comes with EU plug?** A: All depends what country you are buying from. Mine came with a UK plug ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality sturdy and very easy to use *by G***O on 24 January 2026* Very easy to use so impressed with this cup press easy to use value for money size is good doesn’t take a lot of space fits on shelf when not in use very sturdy ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A joy to use. *by R***F on 24 May 2022* This arrives double boxed (a sturdy brown branded cardboard box with the printed product box inside) measuring approx 35cm x 22.5cm x 26cm.

You can’t adjust the temperature and it burns your sublimation paper. I’d go for one of the other type! ## Frequently Bought Together - Cricut Mug Press | Heat Press for Sublimation Mug Projects | Use with Infusible Ink Materials & Mugs (11oz - 16oz) - A-SUB Sublimation Paper A4, 210x297mm, 100 Sheets, 125gsm, Compatible with EPSON, SAWGRASS, RICOH, Brother Sublimation Printers - Cricut Blank Mugs White 355ml (12oz) 6 x Infusible Ink Sublimation Mugs for use Mug Press Infusible Ink 2008942 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/384640872-cricut-mug-press-heat-press-for-sublimation-mug-projects-use](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/384640872-cricut-mug-press-heat-press-for-sublimation-mug-projects-use) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
