Custom Printed Mouse Pad | Design Your Own Mouse Pad

Art/Layout Notes

During the sublimation process of your custom printed mouse pad, small text and thin lines may fill in or leave a colored hue so the text does not look white and fine detail may be lost. With elements where legibility is key we recommend adding a 1 point stroke or making the element bold. For text we recommend a minimum of a 10 point sans serif font. If you have specific concerns please don't hesitate to ask.

Industry standard allows for 1/8" bleed as soft top products are a manual process and there is some shift in printing and manufacturing the mouse pads. The human eye can detect up to a 1/16" shift in text running parallel to the edges. We do not recommend borders or parallel lines as these will emphasize the shift and items may appear cricked or tilted. While obviously we will do all we can to minimize this effect we can not guarantee the registration on an order.
