Spaghetti Logo Mats

Spaghetti Logo Mats put your logo on an open, coiled-vinyl scraper. The tangled vinyl loops pull grit off shoes and let water drop below the surface, while the inlaid logo greets people at the door. It is a light-traffic promotional mat that works indoors or out, in standard sizes or custom shapes.

What a Spaghetti Logo Mat Does Before Dirt Gets Tracked In

Most of the dirt inside a building comes in on shoes, according to ISSA, the cleaning industry association. A scraper mat at the door is the first chance to stop it. The loops on a Spaghetti Logo Mat catch dirt and water and hold them below the walking surface, so they are not carried across the floor inside.

The logo is what sets it apart from a plain scraper. It is inlaid into the coil instead of sitting on top as a print, so your brand is part of the mat itself. That mix of real scraping work and a branded look is why it is a favorite promotional mat at storefronts and front doors.

How the Coiled Vinyl Is Built

The mat is made of vinyl that is coiled into a web and air-entangled, forming a springy surface of PVC loops seven-sixteenths of an inch thick. The vinyl does not absorb water. It dries quickly, resists mildew and fading, and is simple to clean, which helps it keep its look between cleanings.

It comes two ways. The backed version has a solid vinyl backing that keeps dirt and water on the mat, protecting the floor underneath, and weighs about 130 ounces per square yard. The unbacked version skips the backing so water passes straight through and the mat dries fast. It weighs about 118 ounces per square yard.

Where It Fits, and Where It Doesn't

The backed version suits indoor entrances where the floor needs protecting, such as office buildings, retail stores, and banks. The unbacked version belongs where water should drain away: pool decks, saunas, locker rooms, and wet entryways. Either one works as a promotional mat, and it sits among our outdoor logo mats for doors where the brand should show.

What it is not is a heavy-traffic mat. It is rated for light traffic, so a busy main entrance or an industrial door will wear it down faster than it should, and a heavier scraper belongs there. It also scrapes rather than absorbs. At a door that sees rain, set an absorbent mat just inside so wet shoes dry before they reach a hard floor.

Three Things to Check Before You Order

First, match the mat to the traffic. This is a light-traffic scraper, and it does its best work at storefronts, offices, showrooms, and secondary doors. If an entrance sees constant footfall all day, plan on a heavier scraper there, and put the logo mat at a lower-volume door where people still see it.

Second, choose backed or unbacked based on where the water should go. Pick backed for a finished indoor floor you want to protect. Pick unbacked for pool decks, locker rooms, and other wet areas where water needs to drain through. If the spot falls somewhere in between, tell us about it and we will help you decide.

Third, size it to the opening. Standard sizes run from two by three feet up to four by twenty feet. Mats are four feet wide as standard and can reach eight feet wide with one seam. Custom shapes, including round, half-moon, and elevator-floor fits, cover thresholds a rectangle does not suit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Spaghetti Logo Mat made of?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

It is made of vinyl coiled into a web and air-entangled, which forms an open surface of PVC loops seven-sixteenths of an inch thick. The logo is inlaid into that coil rather than printed on top. The vinyl does not absorb water, dries quickly, and resists mildew and fading. It comes with a vinyl backing or without one, depending on where the mat will sit.

How much foot traffic can it handle, and how long will it last?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

It is rated for light traffic, so the honest answer is to match it to the door. At a storefront, office, or showroom entrance it is working within its rating. At a high-volume main entrance or an industrial door, it will wear faster than a heavier scraper would.

How long it lasts depends on the traffic and the grit it sees, so we would rather fit it to the right door than quote a number of years. Tell us the daily volume at the entrance, and we will tell you whether this mat fits or a heavier one makes more sense.

Can it go outside or in wet areas, and should I get backed or unbacked?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

Yes, it works indoors or out. For wet spots such as pool decks, saunas, locker rooms, and wet entryways, choose the unbacked version, which lets water pass straight through so the mat dries quickly. For a finished indoor floor in an office, store, or bank, choose the backed version, which keeps dirt and water on the mat and protects the floor underneath.

What colors can the logo and background be?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Colors come from a broad standard chart: greens from turf to lime, black, charcoal and two grays, three blues, purple, brown, crimson, red, orange, sand, yellow, beige, and white. That range makes it easy to get close to most brand palettes. Because the logo is inlaid into the coil, the colors are part of the mat rather than a layer printed on top.

Can you make it in a custom shape or size?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Yes. Standard sizes run from two by three feet to four by twenty feet. Mats are four feet wide as standard, and wider mats up to eight feet are built with one seam. Beyond rectangles, it can be made round, half-moon, or shaped to fit an elevator floor. Send us the dimensions or a sketch of the space, and we will confirm what can be built.

Is it a good choice for promoting our brand at the entrance?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

That is exactly where it fits. The open-coil texture stands out from a flat mat, so it draws the eye to your logo while still scraping shoes. It suits storefronts, showrooms, hospitality entries, and event or seasonal placements where you want the brand front and center.

To order, upload your artwork as a PNG, JPG, GIF, or PDF file up to 5 MB, and choose a horizontal or vertical layout. We will confirm the colors and layout with you before the mat is made.
