Here at Silk Group, we are always looking for new ideas to help our customers to promote their company or their special event.


&nbsp;


We are now able to offer a fabulous new etching process to decorate a wide range of popular mug styles.&nbsp; Designs are&nbsp; sandblasted through the mugs coating or glaze.&nbsp; It gives a 3D effect with a high quality, tactile finish, and can be applied on the body of the mug or even onto the handle.


&nbsp;
&nbsp;
&nbsp;


This innovative Etching technique enables your design to be permanently etched into the mug. Etching is a subtle effect but gives your design maximum impact.&nbsp;The mug can also be screen printed, (for an additional charge), to allow even more variety of effect.


&nbsp;


Etching is usually done within an area of 50 x 50mm, on one side of the mug. The images show some of the mug body styles. Etching will reveal the white mug body but if you require coloured infill, this is also an option.


&nbsp;


Please contact the Silk sales team for further information or details about this and many other novel ideas to help you get yourself noticed.

	  			<h3>Je m’appelle Sam!!</h3>
				Sam wins the incentive but Donna steals the Plane ticket!!
Bonjour!
During the Month of June Silkgroup ran a sales incentive to award the lucky winner with a trip to Nice in France to visit one of our suppliers. All the sales team really embrassed the incentive and it came down to a very close finish. The overall winner was Sam, but has she is to give birth to a little baby in September she could not take the Plane ticket, this was then awarded to Donna who came in second place.
Silkgroup&nbsp;hope the trip is very informative to expand our knowledge of the supplier and goods but we are also sure alittle bit of fun will be thrown in along the way. Well done to all the team who took part in the incentive.

Winner - Sam recieves the string of REAL onions by Peter Hackin

Sam loves the smell of 6 onions around her neck! - Not!

Donna takes the ticket and second place.
