[INDENT]I can't remember when we last printed a mouse mat!

We've just been requested to print 15 each with a different photograph

So, a couple of questions:

1. What mat would you use for photos?
2. Who still supplies them at a reasonable price?
3. What does the final item sell for?

Your advice would be very helpful

Thanks

I've never printed mousemats, but was tempted a couple of months ago. Got some samples, but they stank of rubber which takes a couple of days to dissipate. I'd probably lean towards to the faux leather mats myself with more upmarket designs.

Depending on selling platform (forget eBay) then trade £4-5, RRP £8-10 depending on design of course.

tell em about it m8....have to have 4 fans on, windows all open as well.....
i also have to wear a respirator as the smell goes for my chest and throat ( have thyroid probs ) - coasters are the same for me - respirator on while cooking products.....keep it on for another 15mins after we finished to let all smells go....scared the shit out the delivery guy one day...we just finished mouse mats, and had to answer door with respirator on....i,m like BANE from batman lol...guy nearly shit himself !

it still lingers little for around 2/3 hrs after that as well.....but not days m8 lol

mouse mats on ebay are a bloody joke - either the guys dont know about margins, or they are desperate for any cash - 0.50p profit on a mat after cost......NUTS ! but in general from £1.49 - £4.99 - amazon from £2.99 - £6.99

Use the attached regularly and have no problems with finish or odour.

way to expensive m8...:rolleyes: had also tried the white based mats, and they look like crap IMHO, eps with dark prints on top.

i presume these are the ones with the white base ? if they are, they look really tacky n cheap,
as you get ( sometimes ) some bleed off the print coming down the sides slightly.

but i,m a fussy ol ass lol

trade £4-5

No way would you get that price for bulk trade mats.
