Custom
Logo Mats – The Insiders Guide
As most business owners will agree, logo mats create another opportunity
to market their unique brand-name. The mat industry has heeded the
call by addressing every possible need.
The
challenge for most consumers is having the time to research these
various options. Let’s shed some light on the subject to see
if we can save you a few moments of your precious time. I’ll
start with the high-end products and wrap it up with the lower budget
items (rated most $$$ to least $).
A quick note here: We concentrate on the higher quality logo carpets,
and some indoor/outdoor mats (carpet only). You'll need to continue
your search online if you are looking for lower budget mats.
Plush
Logo Carpets – The elegance of a thick plush carpet
with a logo inset can really make a statement. Materials range from
shorter commercial grade 36 oz carpet on up to the heavier residential
grade 60 oz carpet. Sometimes the logo details can be hand-carved
to create a 3D effect. Ideal for Corporate lobbies, Tradeshows,
and Special events. $$$
Indoor
/ Outdoor Mats – These medium to heavy duty mats
have a wide range of uses. These mats are made from a more substantial
Nitril Rubber or Polypropylene / plastic. They are machine made
and may also feature an anti-fatigue closed cell construction that
is perfect for warehouse facilities and other industrial applications.
Ideal for heavy traffic areas. $$
Digitally Printed Carpet – now it’s
possible to capture photo quality images and have a digital print
applied - inkjet fashion - on to a short looped commercial grade
carpet and some cut pile carpets. Still in its infancy stages, this
technology promises to lead the way into some fascinating directions.
This product is good for short term events like tradeshows. Durability
is somewhat questionable. $$
Tufted
Printed Mats – This is the ubiquitous printed mat
that you see in the retail sector, in gas stations, supermarkets,
and convenience stores everywhere. These are designed for heavy
traffic and overall abuse from the general public. The main purpose
is to collect dirt, moisture and grime before entering the building.
Ideal for retail locations with lots of traffic and wet weather
conditions.
As you can see, there is a broad selection of possibilities to choose
from, all with different features and benefits. Our site focuses
