Every SILICOX glass travel mug comes with a spill-resistant lid and a plastic protector sleeve built in – not sold separately. Made from borosilicate glass, it carries hot tea, hot coffee, or plain water without cracking and without picking up plastic taste.
Each mug ships as a complete 3-part unit: the borosilicate glass body, a secure-seal lid, and a plastic protector that doubles as a heat guard and a grip. Capacity is fixed at 500 ml – enough for one full commute-sized serving of tea or coffee.
This page covers what the glass, lid, and sleeve actually do, how to pick the right one, and how to order in bulk for corporate gifting, café counters, or resale.
A glass travel mug is a portable drinking mug made from heat-resistant glass, fitted with a spill-resistant lid so hot tea or coffee doesn’t slosh around in your bag. The glass has to survive going from room temperature to freshly brewed tea without cracking, every single day.
That’s why SILICOX travel mugs use borosilicate glass instead of regular soda-lime glass. Borosilicate handles sudden temperature change safely – the exact situation every time you pour hot tea into a mug sitting on your desk. The plastic protector included with every mug does two jobs at once: it shields your hand from heat and cushions the glass from small knocks during transit.
What Matters
What to Look For in a Glass Travel Mug
Four things separate a mug that lasts from one that cracks or leaks within weeks.
The Glass Itself
Borosilicate glass is non-negotiable. Ordinary glass can crack the moment hot liquid meets a cooler surface – exactly what happens every time you fill a travel mug. Borosilicate is built for that hot-and-cold cycle and tolerates a wider temperature swing before stress-cracking than standard glass.
The Lid Mechanism
A secure-seal lid resists spills in normal upright use, which matters when the mug spends time in a bag or car cupholder. A slide-and-sip design also means you’re not removing the whole lid for every sip – the drink stays hotter for longer and there are fewer parts to wash.
The Plastic Protector
Beyond grip, the sleeve protects your hand from a hot mug and cushions the glass from drops that would otherwise chip or crack it. A snug fit also stops the mug sliding around on a car seat or desk, wet-hand or dry.
Capacity for Daily Use
SILICOX glass travel mugs hold 500 ml – a full serving of tea or coffee without needing a refill halfway through your commute. It’s a size that works at a desk, in a car, or clipped into a bag pocket without feeling bulky.

How to Choose
How to Choose the Right Glass Travel Mug
Four practical questions make this an easy decision.
1
Will It Carry Hot Drinks?
If tea or coffee is going in, confirm the glass is borosilicate. Regular glass isn’t built for daily temperature swings and will eventually crack.
2
How Will You Carry It?
Going into a bag rather than staying on a desk? A secure-seal lid matters far more than it does for a mug that never leaves the office.
3
Check the Mouth Width
A mouth wide enough for a cleaning brush makes daily washing far easier. Narrow necks look sleek but are genuinely harder to clean well over time.
4
Buying for Gifting or Corporate Orders?
Standardise on one design and confirm the supplier supports custom branding, so every mug in the batch matches and carries your logo consistently.

Related Glassware You Might Need
If you’re stocking up on drinkware, these are the pieces most people order alongside a glass travel mug.
We supply single pieces for personal use and bulk orders for corporate gifting – both get the same quality check.
Checked Before It Ships
Every mug is checked for glass clarity, lid seal function, and sleeve fit before it leaves our warehouse – not sampled, every unit.
Packaging Built for Transit
A badly packed carton undoes the value of even the best glass the moment it hits transit. Ours uses corrugated + foam-corner packing tested against courier handling.
Private Labelling for Businesses
Corporates, cafés, and resellers can put their own branding on eligible bulk orders – logo placement on the plastic protector sleeve.

Make It Last
Caring for Your Glass Travel Mug
Remove the plastic protector and lid before washing so all three parts get cleaned properly – residue trapped under the sleeve is the usual cause of lingering smells. Wash with mild detergent and a soft sponge or bottle brush, not abrasive scrubbers. The glass body is dishwasher safe on the top rack; hand-washing the lid keeps the seal working longer. Even with borosilicate glass, avoid pouring boiling water into a mug that’s been sitting in a cold car – give it a minute to warm up first, it costs nothing and adds years to the mug’s life.
Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers to what buyers usually search before purchasing a glass travel mug.
Does the glass travel mug come with a lid and plastic protector?
Yes. Every SILICOX glass travel mug ships with a spill-resistant lid and a plastic protector sleeve included – neither is sold separately.
Are glass travel mugs safe for hot tea and coffee?
Yes, because the body is borosilicate glass, built to handle the temperature swing of hot liquid meeting a cooler mug without cracking.
Do glass travel mugs leak in a bag?
No, not when kept upright. The secure-seal lid resists spills in normal use, though lying the mug flat in a bag isn’t recommended.
What is the difference between a glass travel mug and a steel one?
Steel keeps drinks hot longer if double-walled, but glass doesn’t retain flavours or odours from previous drinks, so tea and coffee always taste clean.
Can a glass travel mug crack from hot water?
Not if it’s borosilicate glass, which resists cracking from normal hot-and-cold cycles. Ordinary soda-lime glass can crack under the same conditions.
What capacity should I buy?
500 ml, SILICOX’s standard size, covers one full serving of tea or coffee without a mid-commute refill for most users.
Is the plastic protector removable for washing?
Yes, the sleeve slides off for cleaning. Remove it regularly – trapped moisture underneath is the most common cause of lingering smells.
Are glass travel mugs dishwasher safe?
The borosilicate glass body is dishwasher safe on the top rack. The lid and plastic protector last longer if washed by hand.
Do glass travel mugs retain flavours or smells?
No. Glass is non-porous, so it doesn’t hold the taste or smell of previous drinks the way some plastic mugs do over time.
Can I microwave a glass travel mug?
The borosilicate glass body is microwave-safe, but remove the lid and plastic protector first – neither part is designed for microwave use.
Why does my travel mug lid smell even after washing?
Smells build up in the folds of the lid seal. Take the lid apart fully when cleaning it, rather than rinsing it in one piece.
Are glass travel mugs good for corporate gifting?
Yes. They’re a practical, everyday-use gift that also works as branded merchandise, since the plastic protector gives space for a printed logo.
Do you offer custom branding on glass travel mugs?
Yes, private labelling is available on eligible bulk orders – a fit for corporate gifting, café retail counters, and reseller catalogues.
Do you supply glass travel mugs in bulk?
Yes. We supply bulk glass travel mugs for corporate gifting, cafés, and resellers, with wholesale pricing and packaging built for long-distance transit.
Will the glass scratch over time?
Borosilicate glass is naturally scratch-resistant compared to regular glass, so it stays clear with daily use as long as you avoid abrasive scrubbers.
Do you deliver glass travel mugs across India?
Yes, we ship individual pieces and bulk commercial orders across India with secure, breakage-resistant packaging.
