A glass that reveals a hidden design when you pour a cold drink

Color Changing Glass Cup

Pour in a cold drink and the printed artwork changes color, revealing a design that was hiding in plain sight. A 170 ml beer-glass style merch item that gets recipients to pour a beer and react for themselves.

Color Changing Glass Cup
Story

A gift that
changes its look the moment you pour

Pour a cold drink and the printed color changes right before your eyes. Anyone who has seen it once reaches for this glass whenever they pour a beer or a soft drink. It is merch that gets people to actually use it, so the brand comes back to mind every time the glass comes out.

Put your character or logo on it in thermochromic ink, and a design that looks subtle at room temperature springs to life the moment it meets a chilled drink. It works especially well where reactions matter: IP pop-ups, festivals, and company dinners.

Highlights

Why it gets used

The color changes when you pour a cold drink
Point 01

The color changes when you pour a cold drink

Cold-activated color change

The design is printed in thermochromic ink, and its color deepens when it meets a cold drink. Artwork that looks faint at room temperature comes into sharp focus the moment a chilled beer or soft drink is poured, and holds attention for the whole drink. Empty the glass and it returns to its original color.

Your IP, character, or logo, as is
Point 02

Your IP, character, or logo, as is

Custom IP & logo print

We can print your character or brand logo in thermochromic ink. Because the color reveals itself with a cold drink, the same design is remembered longer than it would be on any other cup. We work out position and treatment with you at the design proof stage.

170 ml beer glass

The 170 ml beer-glass form suits soju, beer, and highballs as well as any cold drink. It is a standard glass size that sits comfortably in the hand, easy to hand out at an event and easy to use at home every day.

Point 04

Merch that gets a reaction the moment it is received

Event & pop-up merch

A color-changing glass is something people look at twice the first time they see it. It fits especially well at events where you need a reaction on the spot: IP pop-up rewards, festival promotional items, fan meeting gifts.

Point 05

A logo that gets used daily and seen for a long time

Everyday use · Repeat exposure

It does not end with a one-time surprise. As a glass that keeps getting used for drinks and water, the logo keeps showing up on the table. Instead of a single laugh, it gives your brand long-running exposure.

Use Case

Where it fits well

IP · Character

A strong fit for character IP merch. Watching the character's colors come alive with a cold drink is a clear treat for fans, and it performs well as a pop-up store reward or merch shop item.

Events · Campaigns

Ideal as a festival or promotional giveaway. The color change becomes a talking point the moment it is received, and with your logo on it, social media posts follow naturally.

Internal events · Team dinners

Works well as a keepsake for company occasions like year-end parties and workshops. Because it keeps getting used as a drinking glass, actual usage is high and the company logo stays visible on the table for a long time.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the color really change? How does it work?
When you pour a cold drink, the thermochromic ink printed on the glass reacts to the temperature and changes color. The design becomes vivid while the glass is cold, and once it is emptied and warms up it returns to its original color. It can be used over and over.
Can you print our character or logo?
We custom print your IP, character, or logo in thermochromic ink. At the design proof stage we decide together which parts should change color, along with the print area and position.
Can it hold hot drinks?
Since the glass changes color in response to cold drinks, we recommend it for chilled alcoholic and soft drinks. We will share the usable temperature range with you at the design proof and ordering stage.
Is it dishwasher safe, or should it be hand washed?
To protect the printed surface, we recommend gentle hand washing. We provide washing and care instructions with your order, so please refer to them.
Can I order a small batch?
Production starts at a minimum of 100 pcs. We quote unit price and schedule to match your quantity, and if you need a different quantity, reach out and we will check.
Can you meet my event date?
Production usually takes about 4 weeks. Allowing for thermochromic printing and proof approval, please reach out with time to spare, and if you need faster production, ask about the schedule first.
