Polyester Slim Grip Mouse Pad

Dye sublimation uses heat to transfer ink directly into the surface of the product, bonding the color at a molecular level rather than sitting on top. The result is a smooth, vibrant, full-color print with no texture or raised edges — the image becomes part of the material itself. It's commonly used on drinkware, mousepads, tote bags, and other items with a polyester or polymer-coated surface.

Very durable. Because the ink is infused into the material rather than applied as a surface layer, dye-sublimated prints won't peel, crack, or flake. They hold up well to repeated washing and everyday handling. On drinkware and hard goods, the print resists scratching under normal use.

Dye sublimation excels at reproducing full-color designs — photographs, gradients, complex multi-color artwork, and edge-to-edge coverage all print beautifully. For the best results, provide high-resolution files (300 DPI or higher) in PNG, PDF, or AI format. There's no limit on the number of colors, and no additional cost for more colors.

Yes. One of the advantages of dye sublimation is its ability to produce full-bleed, wrap-around coverage on many products. This makes it ideal for designs that extend across the entire surface — something that's difficult or impossible with screen printing or laser engraving.

Absolutely — every order includes a free digital proof showing your artwork on the actual product. Proofs are typically delivered same-day for orders placed before 2:00 PM EST. You'll get unlimited revisions until the design is exactly right, and production doesn't begin until you give your approval via email. If your artwork needs cleanup or recreation as a vector, our design team handles that at no additional charge.

Yes! Use the "Free Proof and Quote" button on any product page to request a no-obligation quote. We'll send you a detailed proposal with pricing, production timeline, and a digital mockup of your artwork on the product — easy to forward to your team for approval. There's no commitment and no pressure.

In most cases, no. If you're reordering the same product with the same artwork and specifications, the setup charge is typically waived since we already have your artwork on file. Just mention it's a reorder when you place your order or request a quote, and we'll confirm.

For the best results, we recommend vector formats: AI (Adobe Illustrator), EPS, or vector PDF. These scale to any size without losing quality. We also accept high-resolution PNG, JPG, and raster PDF files — for screen printing and engraving, our design team can recreate your artwork as a production-ready vector at no extra charge. When in doubt, send what you have and we'll let you know if anything else is needed.

This product ships within 7 business days after proof approval. Production begins once you approve your free digital proof — we don't start until you're 100% happy with the design. For products that offer online design, you may waive the proof step if you're confident in your design, which can shave time off the overall timeline. Rush production is available on select items; ask us when requesting your quote.
