Frequently Asked Questions
Is Counter Mat suitable for intensive use in bars or restaurants?
Yes, Counter Mat was designed specifically for intensive commercial use. The two-layer construction of polyester knit and phthalate-free nitrile rubber ensures exceptional durability. The ability to wash at temperatures up to 40°C allows regular cleaning without loss of print quality or non-slip properties. Nitrile rubber is resistant to alcohol, fats, and most detergents used in gastronomy, guaranteeing long life even in the most demanding conditions.
What branding benefits does personalized Counter Mat bar mat provide?
Counter Mat is a strategic marketing tool that exposes your brand exactly where purchasing decisions are made – on the bar counter or at the sales point. Sublimation printing at 300 dpi resolution ensures photorealistic CMYK graphics quality with Pantone matching capability. Unlike traditional POS materials, the mat remains functional throughout the year, offering an excellent cost-to-brand-exposure ratio. Additionally, it increases service professionalism and positively influences perceived establishment value.
What sizes and personalization options are available for Counter Mat?
Counter Mat is available in four standard sizes: 23x43 cm, 24x89 cm, 19x60 cm, and 40x60 cm. For specific needs, we offer custom sizes with maximum width of 150 cm and length of 200 cm. You can choose rubber thickness: 0.9 mm (thinner, lighter version) or 1.35 mm (thicker, more cushioning). Border width is 0 mm (printing to edge) or 10 mm (with edging). Minimum order is 25 pieces, and each mat can have a unique graphic design tailored to your marketing campaign.
How often should Counter Mat be cleaned and how does this affect print durability?
Cleaning frequency depends on usage intensity. In high-traffic bars, we recommend machine washing once weekly; in less stressed locations, every 2-3 weeks suffices. Sublimation printing technology causes permanent dye penetration into polyester fiber structure, so the print doesn't wear off even after hundreds of washing cycles. The mat remains aesthetic and functional for minimum one year of intensive use, often significantly longer with proper maintenance. Key is washing at temperatures not exceeding 40°C and flat drying.
Is Counter Mat safe for health and environment?
Yes, Counter Mat is made of phthalate-free nitrile rubber, eliminating harmful plasticizers that could migrate into food or beverages. The product meets REACH regulation requirements regarding chemical substances and has Phthalates Free certification. All sublimation dyes are certified according to Oeko-Tex Standard 100, guaranteeing absence of allergenic or carcinogenic substances. The mat is produced in Europe according to European environmental and labor standards, and nitrile rubber is compatible with underfloor heating (though the product is primarily intended for counters).
