Custom Drink Mats turn a bar or service counter into branded space while doing the everyday work of a good bar mat — protecting the countertop and keeping glassware from sliding. Your logo, image, or message is printed in full color into the mat surface, so the branding is part of a working mat rather than a sticker on top of it. They're among our most customizable pieces in the full logo-mats range, sized to your counter.

Underneath the print, it's built for a wet counter. The mat is nitrile rubber at 3/16 inch thick over a cushion backing, with the artwork carried on a polymetric film bonded to the rubber surface. Nitrile shrugs off the spills, citrus, and constant wipe-downs a bar throws at it, and the cushioned body gives it some give on a hard counter while the rubber face grips glassware.

The surface prints in full color, and up to four PMS colors can be matched per design for brand accuracy, with a one-time setup fee per color. One honest caveat on color: the mat is finished under a hot press that bonds the rubber and cushion, and the heat tends to lighten the print slightly, so a PMS match comes close but isn't exact. Bold, clean artwork reproduces best — we proof every design before it runs.

It's made for countertop point-of-purchase use — bars, restaurants and cafés, tasting rooms, and retail counters where a branded surface meets a working one. A few artwork rules keep the result clean: text reads best at 1/2 inch or taller, lines at 1/16 inch or thicker, and white isn't usable as a background or in the imprint because it discolors in service (there are light alternatives that hold up). Replace it when the print wears from heavy daily use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I print my logo in our exact brand colors?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

You can get close, and we'll tell you honestly how close. The surface prints in full color, and we can match up to four PMS colors per design for brand accuracy, with a one-time setup fee of $270.38 per PMS color. The honest part: the mat is finished under a hot press, and that heat tends to lighten the print a few shades, so an exact PMS match isn't guaranteed — we get near it. Send us your brand colors and artwork and we'll build a proof so you can see the match before anything runs.

Are there artwork rules I should know before sending a design?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

A few, and they're all about keeping the print clean. Keep text at least 1/2 inch tall and lines at least 1/16 inch thick; very thin or special fonts may need to be sized up, which we handle case by case. Don't use white as a background or in the imprint — it discolors through manufacturing — but there are light tones that hold up in its place. And if you're working in CorelDraw, avoid PowerClips in the file. Send the art over and we'll flag anything that needs adjusting.

What's it made of, and how long does it last?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

It's nitrile rubber at 3/16 inch thick over a cushion backing, with the printed artwork carried on a polymetric film bonded to the surface. Nitrile holds up well to the spills, citrus, and constant wipe-downs a bar surface sees, and the cushion gives it some give on a hard counter. Lifespan comes down to how hard it's worked and how it's cleaned; on a busy bar, plan to replace it when the print starts to wear in the heavy-use zone rather than waiting for the rubber to give out.

Will it protect the counter and keep glasses from sliding?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

That's the working half of the job. The cushioned rubber body shields the countertop from glassware, bottles, and the constant set-down-and-slide of a service area, and the non-slip rubber face grips so glasses and bottles stay put instead of skating across a wet counter. It's built specifically for countertop protection and a slip-resistant surface for glassware, so it earns its place as a working bar mat first, with the branding on top of that.

Super Scrape Rubber Logo Mats put your logo on a mat that earns its place at the door. The nitrile rubber surface uses raised circular cleats to scrape dirt and water off shoes before they reach your floors, and the artwork is set into the rubber rather than coated on top — so the branding holds up through heavy traffic instead of scuffing away. They're among the most rugged of our outdoor logo mats, built for real commercial use indoors or out.

The logo is digitally printed on a polymeric film, then heat-pressed into the nitrile rubber so it becomes part of the mat. That process reproduces photo-realistic detail — multi-color artwork, tones, and gradients all come through cleanly, which is what separates these printed floor mats from simple one-color welcome mats. You get 150 standard colors to work from, with PMS matching available — up to four PMS colors per design — when a logo has to be exact.

The raised cleats give the mat a high-traction surface that's certified by the National Floor Safety Institute, which matters at a wet entrance where a slip turns into a liability claim. The all-nitrile build also resists oils and chemicals, so the mat holds up at tougher doorways — entries near commercial kitchens, service bays, and manufacturing floors — not just clean lobby entrances. It works indoors or out, though under constant direct sun the printed color softens over time.

The mat comes in standard sizes from 2.5' x 3' up to 6' x 8', so most entrances are covered without custom cutting — what's custom is the artwork, built to your logo and colors. Cleaning is simple: shake or sweep off loose debris and hose it down, or have it commercially laundered. Plan to replace it when the cleats wear smooth or the printed color has faded enough to lose its punch at the door.

Frequently Asked Questions

How well does the logo hold up outdoors and under heavy traffic?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

Better than a surface-printed mat. The artwork is printed on a film and heat-pressed into the nitrile rubber, so it's set into the mat instead of sitting on top as a coating that can scuff or peel. Under heavy door traffic, the raised cleats usually wear smooth before the logo gives out. Outdoors, direct sun is the limiting factor — the color softens gradually over the years rather than failing all at once.

Can you match our exact brand colors?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Yes. There are 150 standard colors to work from, which covers most logos as they are. When a brand needs precise color, PMS matching is available for up to four colors per design. Because the image is digitally printed before it's pressed into the rubber, photo-realistic detail holds up — multi-color marks, gradients, and fine type come through cleanly instead of being simplified into flat blocks.

What artwork do you need from us, and how detailed can the logo get?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Print-ready artwork works best — vector files or high-resolution images reproduce most cleanly. The process handles real detail, including photo-realistic images, multi-color designs, and shaded tones. As a rule of thumb, keep text at least half an inch tall and lines at least a sixteenth of an inch thick so they hold up in production. Send us the logo and the size you need, and we'll confirm how it reproduces before anything is made.

Can these go near kitchens or areas with oil and chemicals?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

Yes — that's one of the real advantages of nitrile rubber. Standard rubber softens and breaks down with regular oil and chemical exposure, while nitrile resists both. That lets the mat hold up at doorways near commercial kitchens, auto and service bays, manufacturing floors, and food-service areas, where a standard logo mat would degrade.

Berber Logo Mats put your logo at the door on a looped berber surface — a tight, low-profile weave with a subtle hobnail texture that reads as upscale rather than promotional. The logo is digitally printed in high definition, so the artwork stays crisp, and the same tight weave that holds the print also scrapes dirt and moisture off shoes before either reaches your floor.

What a Berber Logo Mat Does Before Your Brand Looks Tired at the Door

A logo mat is doing two jobs from the moment someone walks up: it shows your brand and it protects the floor. ISSA field data shows a building takes on up to 12 times more dirt during wet weather, and it takes six to eight steps to walk a sole dry. A mat that catches that grit keeps your entrance clean — and keeps the logo from sitting in a smear of tracked-in dirt.

The looped berber weave is tight enough to scrape and hold dirt and moisture, so the floor past the mat stays cleaner and the logo stays legible instead of muddy. That matters because a worn or grimy logo mat does the opposite of its job — it makes the brand look neglected at the exact spot where a visitor forms a first impression.

Why Berber Loop, and Why This One

The surface is needle-punched PET fiber, about 44 ounces per square yard, made with at least 80% recycled content reclaimed from plastic bottles. The loop-pile berber has a smooth, even face, which is what lets the logo print crisply — the artwork is built up in layers of color and matched to a standard palette of 56 colors, so edges and lettering stay sharp.

Berber's tight weave is the durable part. It stands up to heavy foot traffic without the surface breaking down, and the hobnail texture gives it an upscale look that plain printed mats miss. The fiber is naturally stain- and fade-resistant, so the logo holds its color through regular cleaning rather than washing out after a season.

Underneath is an SBR rubber backing that contains 20% recycled tire content and keeps the mat in place to cut slipping. You can spec a universal cleated backing for carpet or a smooth backing for hard floors, and the whole mat sits low — easy to clean by vacuuming or hosing off, and low enough not to catch a door swing.

Where It Belongs (and Where It Doesn't)

This is a branding mat for indoor and covered-outdoor entries — lobbies, front desks, storefronts, building entrances, and anywhere you want a company logo greeting people as they arrive. As premium carpet logo mats go, the berber loop is on the upscale end, and it works equally well as commercial rugs with logo inside reception areas and retail floors.

What it is not is a full-sun outdoor mat. The print fades in direct sunlight, so it belongs under a canopy, an overhang, a vestibule, or indoors — not exposed on an open sidewalk. It's also a branding mat that catches dirt and moisture, not an aggressive scraper for mud and gravel; keep the heaviest debris to a coarse outdoor mat and let the berber handle the finish and the logo.

Three Things to Check Before You Spec It

Three things decide whether a berber logo mat is the right call.

First, the light. The print fades in direct sun, so this mat is for covered or indoor spots only. If your entrance faces open sky for hours a day, a different construction will hold its color better — be honest about the exposure before you commit the logo to it.

Second, the artwork. Logos print best with text at least 1.5 inches tall and lines no thinner than a quarter inch, and very fine detail or pale backgrounds don't translate well — light colors also show dirt faster. Simple, bold artwork in darker or neutral tones reads cleanly and stays looking sharp.

Third, the floor and the size. Choose a cleated backing for carpet or a smooth one for hard floors, and size the mat to the traffic, not just the doorway — aim to cover the six-to-eight steps it takes to dry a sole. Standard sizes run up to 6'×12', with custom lengths to 20 feet.

Why Mats Inc.

Mats Inc. has specified commercial matting since 1964, so when you're putting your brand on the floor, you're working with people who know which logo construction survives your specific entrance — and which will fade or flatten in it. We help you set up the artwork inside the print limits, pick the backing for your floor, and size the run so the mat protects as well as it presents. For the rest of the range, start with our commercial entrance mats.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the logo actually printed, and will it stay sharp?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

The logo is built up in layers of color on the smooth berber surface and matched to a standard palette of 56 colors. That layering is what gives the high-definition look — crisp edges and clean lettering — as long as the artwork respects the print limits: text at least 1.5 inches tall, lines no thinner than a quarter inch, and no fine tints or transparencies. Bold, simple artwork holds up best. The fiber is naturally stain- and fade-resistant, so the print stays sharp through regular cleaning rather than washing out.

How well does it hold up to heavy traffic?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

The tight berber weave is the durable part — it's built to take heavy foot traffic without the surface breaking down, and the hobnail loop holds its texture rather than crushing flat the way a softer pile would. A mat that mats down stops scraping and starts looking worn, so that crush resistance is what keeps both the logo and the floor protection working.

The one thing that shortens its life is sunlight: the print fades in direct sun, so a covered or indoor spot is essential. Used under cover and cleaned regularly — vacuumed, or hosed off and hung to dry — it holds its look for years.

Can I put it outside?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

Only under cover. Berber logo mats are made for indoor and covered-outdoor entries — under a canopy, in a vestibule, or inside a lobby. They're not built for full sun, because the print fades when it's exposed directly, and they're branding mats rather than coarse scrapers for mud and gravel. The best setup outdoors is a rugged scraper mat first to take the heavy debris, with the berber logo mat just inside or under the overhang where it stays clean, dry, and out of direct light.

What sizes can I get?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Standard sizes run from 2'×3' up to 6'×12', and custom lengths are available in standard widths up to 20 feet — useful for a wide storefront entry or a long lobby walkway.

Size it to the traffic, not just the door opening. Aim to cover the six-to-eight steps it takes to dry a sole, so the mat protects the floor and shows the logo at full size rather than getting walked past in a stride or two.

What does it look like, and what colors are there?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

It has an upscale, low-profile look — the looped berber weave with a subtle hobnail texture reads as refined rather than promotional, which suits a polished lobby or reception area. There are 56 standard colors to build the logo and background from, so you can match a brand palette closely. One tip: skip very light background colors, since pale tones show tracked-in dirt faster — darker or neutral backgrounds keep the mat looking clean longer between cleanings.

Can it match our exact brand colors, and what artwork works best?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Colors are matched to a standard 56-color palette rather than exact PMS values, so it's a close brand match within that range rather than a precise ink match — worth knowing if your brand standard is strict. For artwork, bold logos and clear lettering reproduce beautifully; very fine detail, thin lines, gradients, and transparencies don't translate well to the woven surface. Send us your logo and we'll tell you straight whether it'll read well at mat scale or needs a small adjustment first.
