The best surface material for custom counter mats is determined by the intended use and environment. We offer two primary options: a silky smooth polyester fabric and a durable plastic laminate. The plastic laminate is available in both matte (standard) and gloss finishes; the matte finish is standard due to its ability to reduce glare and enhance readability. Known for its durability, the plastic laminate surface is easy to clean, water and tear-resistant, making it perfect for high-traffic areas. It is also scratch-resistant, making it ideal for white backgrounds or intricate details, and it maintains vibrant print quality. On the other hand, the fabric surface is printed using dye sublimation, resulting in a permanent, fade-resistant imprint that can be rolled or folded without affecting the image or functionality of the mat. This brilliant image with exceptional detail can even be machine washed without cracking or peeling. Selecting the right surface material is crucial to ensuring longevity and maintaining the professional appearance of your promotional content.
