Jjj Expwy S3301 sign with name
Jjj Expwy S3301 sign with name (China) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug
This design is a flat, graphic rendering of the S3301 expressway route marker used on China's Jingjin Expressway, the road that links Beijing and Tianjin.
Visual Elements & Composition
Green dominates the artwork, filling roughly three-fifths of the field, with white taking most of the remaining space as a border frame. A rounded rectangle holds the sign together, and a lime header band runs across the top. The route number S3301 sits prominently, supported by the Chinese characters 京津高速 for the expressway's name and 京津冀高速 in the regional lettering. Black appears only in small accents. The whole composition is clean and direct, built for quick reading at speed.
Meaning & Symbolism
The marker identifies the S3301, known as the Jingjin Expressway or the Second Beijing-Tianjin Corridor, a major transport artery connecting China's capital with its neighbouring port city. The design follows the visual standards of GB 5768, the national regulation governing road traffic signs and markings. That standard is why the shapes, colour bands and lettering read with such authority: every element tells a driver where they are and where the road leads. The result is a small, modern piece of national infrastructure design.
Made for the Coffee Break
A mug is turned in the hand, so the sign wraps around the cup and rotates slowly with each sip, revealing the route number and the characters as you drink. The white border and lime header stay legible from the handle side, so the marker reads like a roadside sign at a glance. Pick it up for a morning cup, and the expressway comes along for the ride.

Glossy black ceramic mugs in two practical sizes — 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml). Comfortable C-handle, microwave- and dishwasher-safe, and manufactured to be lead- and BPA-free. Note: printed blacks may read slightly different from the mug’s base color.
These mugs are made from solid ceramic with a glossy glaze that gives a deep, even surface for printing. Sublimation printing embeds ink into the glaze so artwork sits smoothly on the mug rather than simply sitting on top — that means better resistance to fading and scratching during normal use.
They’re available in the classic 11-ounce size for everyday black coffee and tea, and a larger 15-ounce cup if you like extra room for milk, foam or a long pour. The C-shaped handle is wide enough for a secure grip and balances the mug well when full.
- Material: 100% ceramic with a high-gloss finish for punchy, saturated results.
- Sizes: 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml) — choose your routine size.
- Printing: sublimation process fuses color into the glaze for durable imagery.
- Safety: lead- and BPA-free; meets common food-contact safety standards.
- Design note: very dark artwork and the mug’s black base can produce subtle shade differences — add a thin lighter outline to ensure contrast if needed.
These mugs are at home in the kitchen, on the office desk, or tucked into a morning routine. They work for espresso shots, pour-overs, oat-milk lattes — you name it. The larger size is handy when you want a second cup’s worth without a refill.
- Daily use: fill with your preferred brew and sip — the mug handles hot liquids safely.
- Office-friendly: fits most standard mug warmers and sits securely on communal trays and kitchen counters.
- Gifting: packs well (wrap with a soft layer) and pairs nicely with coffee beans, tea tins, or a small box of biscuits.
Practical tip: for very dark designs, try a thin light border or a small margin so the artwork reads cleanly against the black ceramic.
These mugs are both microwave- and dishwasher-safe, but gentle habits extend the life of the print. We recommend dishwasher use on the top rack and milder cycles when possible.
Hand-washing is the friendliest option: warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge. Avoid steel wool, harsh scouring pads, or blasting with extremely hot industrial cycles. And a quick reminder — don’t microwave an empty mug.
Two sizes: 11 oz (approx. 330 ml) and 15 oz (approx. 440 ml). The smaller cup is the familiar, everyday size; the larger one is for fuller pours and extra-creamy drinks.
Each mug’s mouth and height are proportioned so they’re easy to drink from and easy to clean. If you’re pairing with saucers or nesting in cabinets, expect the 15 oz to be slightly wider and taller than the 11 oz.
