Our best sellers now are hand-painted. We save on not using the decal transfer method. The machinery is fast-moving and we get a much bigger daily output. According to Wong, dolomite is still an important ingredient but, because it is low in density, it does not have the strength needed. However, it is good for sharp colours because it is fired at a lower temperature.
Dolomite is more suitable for decorative items than mugs.
The company balances out materials going for firing to get sharp colours and the necessary strength. Other materials are porcelain, stoneware and super-white refined stoneware. With the right mix we can get the strength of stoneware but there is a lesser amount of dolomite in the mix. The firm can turn out 1.5 million items a month. Minimum order is one TEU and delivery takes 30-60 days after order confirmation.
