How to choose
Start with contrast, not artwork. On a clear cup or tumbler, a light mark can vanish against whatever the piece is filled with; on a frosted surface the same mark may read differently again. Decide first whether your logo will sit where hands, liquid or contents sit behind it, and ask the available print positions and areas for the specific item before drawing anything.
Then choose the form that matches the moment. A glass mug suits a desk; a pen travels; a pouch shows its contents and carries a mark at once. Check the colour options for each item, since frosted, coloured and clear finishes are not offered on every piece. Confirm which decoration methods are available for the selected product, then review the digital artwork proof before production. Setup and freight are quoted separately.

Can I order a sample of Transparent and Translucent Merchandise before placing a full order?
Samples for orders outside Australia are available on request. Send an enquiry with the product and your intended quantity — we confirm availability and quote the international freight before anything ships. Branded pre-production samples can also be arranged once an order is confirmed.
What are transparent and translucent merchandise typically used for?
Most of this range is chosen for staff onboarding and welcome kits. Tell Sense2 the occasion, the recipients and the quantity and we will point you to the right pieces for the brief.
Should I choose clear or frosted?
Consider what sits behind the surface and where the mark will be read. Clear shows contents and artwork together; frosted softens the view. Ask for the colour options on the selected item and match the finish to how the piece will actually be used.
Will my artwork read well on a curved surface?
Curves and transparency both affect how a mark appears. Share the design early and ask for the print area and available positions on the specific item. A digital proof shows placement and size, though it does not verify how the mark reads against real contents.
How do I get a quote and check minimums?
Send the product, quantity, colours and artwork to Sense2 for a quote. Order minimums, stock availability and allowed branding methods are confirmed for the specific item at quote stage. Setup and freight are quoted separately from the unit price.
When should I confirm timing?
Ask about the current lead time when you request the quote, since availability, artwork approval, production and freight all affect the schedule for the selected item. Confirm timing before locking in any event or campaign date.
What should I check about the material?
Selected mugs and tumblers are glass, and one item combines bamboo with glass; other pieces vary. Ask for the material composition and care information for the specific product rather than assuming from a material name.
How does the proof process work?
Sense2 prepares a digital artwork proof for your chosen item. Review the placement, size and colourway before approving production. The digital view is not a physical sample and does not guarantee an exact colour match across different surfaces.

What the light does to a mark
Picture the kitchen bench on a weekday morning. A glass mug is filled, and the mark on its surface sits against whatever the drink happens to be. Beside it, a frosted piece takes the same logo in a softer register. At the counter, someone pockets a pen; later a pouch passes across a meeting table with its contents visible through the surface. Consider each of those moments before choosing. Where does the eye land when the object is in use? Does the design need contrast that a clear finish cannot give on its own? Those small checks shape the artwork and the item choice together.
