This is a custom printing service, not a retail listing. You send the design — we print it onto the mat. There is no catalogue of stock patterns to choose from, and we do not sell single mats: the minimum is 100 pieces per order, 50 per design.

A mat does two jobs: it stops tiles sliding, and it stops the table from taking the noise. Both come from the build, not from the print. What varies per order is the artwork.

Size and thickness

	800 × 800 mm	845 × 845 mm
Standard mahjong table	✓	✓
Larger table / four players plus racks	tight	✓
Packed carton	smaller	larger

Thickness is a real choice, not a upsell: 2 mm is the value option that still lies flat, 3 mm gives a heavier feel and a bit more sound absorption on a hard table. Anything larger than the two stock sizes is cut to your footprint.

Build

The surface is a waterproof printed fabric — it takes a CMYK design and wipes clean, which matters in a club where drinks are on the table. Under it the layers are bonded, and the base is a non-slip rubber that grips without marking the tabletop.

The edge is precision stitched with a colour-printed border. That is the part that decides whether the mat survives a year of being rolled and unrolled: an unstitched edge delaminates from the outside in.

Your artwork: vector or PDF

Send the design as vector (AI, EPS, SVG) or a PDF exported from a vector source. That is the format we can print at full size without redrawing anything — text stays text, lines stay crisp, and a design that looks sharp on screen prints sharp on cloth.

What we need with the file:

• Final size, or artwork with the mat dimensions in the filename. We print 1:1.
• Bleed of 5 mm past the trim if the design runs to the edge — otherwise the border stitch cuts into the artwork.
• CMYK reference if the colour is critical. We match to Pantone where you give us a number; “make it the same blue as our website” is not a spec we can hold.
• Fonts outlined or embedded, so a missing typeface does not change your design.

A raster file (JPG, PNG) is possible at 300 dpi at final size, but we will ask you to confirm it, because upscaled artwork is the most common reason a sample gets rejected.

Printing

CMYK full colour, to your artwork. Send vector where possible; a photographic design needs 300 dpi at final size, because fine type softens at 2 mm scale.

Sampling: one week, several designs at once

You do not have to commit to one artwork to see how it prints. We run several designs through a single sampling round — print them, stitch them, ship them together — and the whole round takes about one week.

Sampling is cheap because it uses the same line as production; you are paying for material and time, not for someone to set up a separate process. Show the samples to your buyer, pick the artwork that survives real light, and only then commit.

Lead time and price

• MOQ 100 pcs, and we accept 50 pcs per design when you are testing a range.
• Delivery within one month of sample approval.
• Mats are cut and stitched in house, so a short run does not carry a tooling surcharge the way a rigid box does.

What you are paying for is consistency: the same print density across a batch, the same stitch spacing, the same thickness at the edge. A mat that varies between units reads as cheap no matter what the artwork is.

How pricing works

The band above — US$4–8 per mat — covers the standard build: 800 or 845 mm, 2 or 3 mm, CMYK print, rubber backing and stitched edge, without freight.

Where you land in that band depends on print coverage, thickness (3 mm costs more than 2 mm), and packing: flat, rolled, or rolled into a printed bag. 100 pieces sit near the top of the band; 1,000 pieces sit near the bottom.

Getting a quote

Send the table size you are cutting for, the print artwork, and the thickness you want. We quote the mat, the sleeve and the rolled carton weight together — the carton weight usually decides the landed cost.
