Art Requirements & Tips
Please have your computer art files and elements in the formats listed below.
We offer 30 minutes of free layout service that covers 95% of all mousepad projects.
Also, if you've hired an artist or are doing the complete art layout yourself, feel free to call us for technical guidance. This is sublimation transfer printing and is somewhat of an art in itself. Take advantage of our 10 years experience with this form of printing and sixteen years of overall printing experience! The earlier you call us, the less chance of "painting yourself into a corner" with your mouse pad art. .....and the help is free!

Important points in laying out your art...
1. Add 1/8" bleed all sides (extra background beyond pad size). Note that our pads start off as white.
2. Margin in from pad edges for art/text elements: 3/8"
3. Remember to account for rounded corners! 1" radius on full sized. 1/2" radius on medium & small size.
4. Do any reversed art or text from solid backgrounds. Not too fine of dots/lines as they will disappear or fade with inherent "dot gain". (Soft top mouse pads only)
5. Pale or white backgrounds will show dirt quickly so avoid large white/light areas. (Soft top mouse pads only)
