Tough 0.4mm mark resist
surface chosen for its good mouse performance and ability to provide strong,
bright colours. Bonded to a foam base and die-cut. These mats are much more
durable than those made by lamination of printed paper. A smoother, clearer
mark resist surface is also available.
Black 3mm EPDM
foam is standard. The extra thickness offered by chunky 5mm foam used to be
popular. New production techniques now mean that 1.5mm and 2mm EPDM foam can
be used to make much slimmer mats.
Black natural rubber
foam in 1.5mm, 3mm and 5mm offers a heavier alternative with the very best
lay-flat and non-slip qualities.
Screen print or offset
litho four colour process. The print is placed directly on to the undersurface
of the mark resist material.
Usually bulk packed.

seal bags or in white envelopes which can be custom printed.
