We’ve provided several answers to questions related to Counter Mats , see some other helpful Q&A related to this product.
Question: Which backing material is ideal for counter mats?
Answer: The best backing material for custom counter mats is typically natural open cell rubber, offering excellent non-skid properties and durability. However, for environments where latex allergies are a concern, latex-free foam is an excellent alternative. Products like the 12x18x1/8 and 13x19x1/8 feature foam backing that is latex-free and provides a non-slip surface. For those seeking a customized counter mat with all the advertising impact and none of the thickness, we also offer a non-skid ultra-thin backing and a low-tack adhesive backing. Choosing the right backing material ensures the mat stays in place and meets any specific health requirements, providing both safety and reliability.
Question: Is water resistance important in choosing which counter mats?
Answer: Water resistance is crucial for custom counter mats as it shields them from spills and moisture, ensuring longevity and a clean branding appearance. We print all of our heavy duty retail mats on a synthetic, tree-free paper that won't separate or peel with use or moisture. If counter mats are manufactured on standard paper they will start to separate creating peeling and separation from the laminate cutting their lifespan down considerably. Mats like the 18x24x1/8 and 12x18x1/8 are water-resistant, making them ideal for spill-prone environments. While our fabric counter mats are not water resistant they do have a dye sublimated surface that can be machine washed without cracking or bleeding meaning they too can catch a spill without ruining the mat. Better brand appearance and longer product performance make water resistance key in deciding which way to go in choosing your counter mat.
Question: What are the three different types of customized counter mats available?
Answer: The three main types of counter mats are fabric, heavy duty plastic laminate and window mats. All three have their advantages making the right fit for you dependant on intended usage and environment. The fabric mat offers a silky smooth finish and vibrant, permanent dye sublimation imprint. They can be folded and rolled without impacting the image or functionality and are even machine washable. Fabric counter mats are great for display mats for fragile items or counters. For increased longevity we even offer a stitched edge on some of our fabric counter mats. Our heavy duty counter mats are printed on synthetic paper making them water and tear resistant for exceptional durability. Additionally your promotion or branding is protected by a matte plastic laminate that is both scratch resistant and easy to clean. These mats are designed for high traffic and heavy use areas. The window counter mats boast all the features of the heavy duty mats along with a insert window allowing for interchangeable information or promotions while still having your image protected and easy to clean. These mats are great for any type of display material that needs updating like menus, calendars, phone extensions or limited time pricing.
