About this design
NH146B-IN
NH146B-IN (India) (Road Sign) White Coffee Mug
This design is a road sign, built around one designation: NH146B-IN, set against the name of India.
Composition on the Sign
The design is organised around its code. The designation NH146B-IN is the focal point, and the words India and road sign frame it, so the eye lands on the identifier first and the regional reference second. Nothing competes with that text. The layout is plain and direct, the way signage is meant to be read, with information given in order and no decoration added for its own sake.
Meaning & Origins
Road signs exist to tell a traveller where they are and what lies ahead, and this one carries that purpose into a numbered system. The NH prefix and the 146B code point to a national highway designation, a system of numbered routes that lets drivers and planners identify a road without a name. Tying that code to India places the sign within the country's network of highways, where a single number can mark hundreds of kilometres of route.
Reading It Around the Mug
A road sign is built to be read at a glance, and a mug asks for the same thing. You turn it in your hand, catch the designation on one side, and find the rest as the cup moves round. The NH146B-IN code gives the mug a quiet bit of travel talk for anyone who has ever spent hours on an Indian highway, or who simply likes a little route information with their morning coffee.

Quick note: while the mugs are dishwasher-safe, treating them gently helps keep the print looking fresh longer (see Care tab).
These mugs are rated for microwave and dishwasher use, but small habits extend their life. Run them on the top rack of the dishwasher and avoid high-temperature commercial cycles whenever possible.
For longest-lasting print clarity: hand wash with mild dish soap and a soft cloth, avoid abrasive scouring pads, and don’t let them soak in strong detergents. When microwaving, use short intervals and avoid empty heating.
Available sizes: 11 oz (approximately 330 ml) and 15 oz (approximately 440 ml). The 11 oz is a classic coffee size; the 15 oz gives extra room for cream, froth, or larger servings.
Each mug has a standard-width mouth for easy sipping and cleaning; height and diameter vary slightly between sizes to maintain comfortable proportions and sturdy balance.
