How Your Neoprene Gaming Mat Is Made
It all starts with your designs. Once they are uploaded into our system, they are quality checked to ensure they will look perfect once printed. The designs are then sent to our technician team, who use specialist methods to print your design onto the neoprene fabric. Instead of just printed onto the surface, we go into the fibres of the fabric at a very high temperature. This creates a permanent finish that will not fade away or rub off. Once printed, your custom gaming mats will get cut on the edge and a non-slip back will get bonded onto the reverse of the fabric.
Care Instructions
Neoprene is a hardy and durable fabric. If it needs a touch of cleaning to remove the odd bit of dirt or dust, simply wipe clean with a damp cloth. It is safe to clean at 30°C and to hand wash. It can also be ironed up a heat of 120°C. Be sure your iron is clean first. If in doubt, place a clean cloth between the iron and the neoprene to protect it.
Design Tips
Your customised neoprene gaming mat is quite literally a blank canvas that is waiting for your unique designs. We print edge to edge onto the face of the fabric, giving you a generous surface area to display your artwork. As neoprene is such a wonderful fabric to print on, we recommend taking advantage of its unique print properties. Feel free to be as detailed as you wish. Fine lines and small details will be reproduced with perfect clarity, as will colours. When uploading your design, be aware that we cut on the edge, so please ensure all details are within the guidelines.
Perfect fit and rendering
The mat was cut to the exact dimensions I requested and fits perfectly on my kitchen table. I requested pure black and the colour was very dark. The only slight error was a bit of indentation near one end where it may have been in a creased position during transit but its only a slight error and does not bother me. I would have liked a strong reusable cardboard cylinder to keep it delivered and stored in but I just bought my own to keep it safe.
If you are scratching your head trying to think of what to buy your gaming obsessed friend for their birthday, then we have the perfect solution. Create a custom neoprene gaming mat just for them and help them take their passion for gaming to the next level. You can choose any size you want to make your mat, so go as big and bold as you dare. If you know their favourite game then create a design incorporating important elements and details from it. We guarantee they will have never have seen anything like it before.

Frequently asked questions:
What sizes are the gaming mats available in?
You can design your customised gaming mat to be any size you want. We understand that different games require different size mats, which is why yours has open input to a maximum size of 1.3 x 2.1 metres. Simply fill in your size specifications on the design interface.
What are the mats made from?
Your new gaming mat is handmade from our custom printed neoprene fabric. This is a thick, flexible and matt fabric that can be easily rolled and transported. It is a heavy material at 1,000gsm and makes the perfect surface for gaming. The back is non-slip.
What will my designs look like?
Printing on neoprene is a brilliant way to see your designs in all their glory. The white poly face of the fabric is an excellent canvas for displaying very detailed designs. Fine lines and small details will be crystal clear and colours bright and bold.
Browse Designer Gaming Mats
This range of custom printed gaming mats have been designed exclusively by our team of skilled #ContradoCreatives.
We print at 200dpi, which is a good combination of quality and file weight. Ideally, your image should be scaled to 100% at 200dpi, this means that no resizing of your file occurs stopping any interpolation.
Should I save my file as a TIFF or JPEG?
For multi-coloured or very detailed files we recommend using a tiff format, but they must be flattened. For simple colours and low detail files, a jpeg is fine.
Which colour model should I choose? RGB or CMYK?
We advise providing images in the RGB colour space. Specifically using the sRGB image profile, to achieve best colour results.What does this mean? In your editing software choose RGB as the working space, and assign the image profile as sRGB (full name sRGB IEC61966-2.1)
What does GSM mean?
Grams per Square Meter (GSM) is an international standard for measuring the weight of paper or fabric. GSM uses the weight of a square meter (1000 x 1000mm) as an indication of the weight and thickness of a given fabric. We class 20-100gsm as light (summer fabrics, gauzes and fine silks), 101-249 gsm as medium (most clothing fabrics) and 250+ gsm as heavy (upholstery fabrics, and other specialist fabrics).
What are bleed areas?
When designing your product, it’s best to make sure that your image is slightly larger than needed. In printing, the extra printed image is referred to as a “Bleed Area” or margin, and it is removed from the finished piece. A bleed area acts as a buffer for slight inconsistencies in the manufacturing process. however, it’s important to fill your bleed areas completely, or you may end up with white, unprinted strips along the edge of your finished product.
Do you print on garments a customer supplies?
Unfortunately not. All our garments are printed on flat fabric and sewn into finished products, which gives a better-finished result and all-over print. We test meticulously so that we know what gets the best results on our fabrics, and our facilities cater perfectly to them. We do however print sublimation paper to order, so if you have access to a heat press you can press your fabrics or flat garments easily.
Can you Align a Pattern or design across panels of a garment?
We always strive for the greatest accuracy when printing and constructing your garments. However, due to unavoidable stretch or movement of the fabric during the stitching process, we cannot guarantee perfect pattern registration across garment seams. We are generally accurate within 2-3mm, which is close enough for most patterns but may show slight issues with detailed geometric patterns.
Can I print my own Labels?
Most of our garments now come with printable label space for you to add your own company information and branding! If you would like to sew in your own labels, we also offer Printed Fabric Labels here.
How is your fabric printing eco-friendly?
With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are all printed using completely water-based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat fixing procedure fixes the colours and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. We have one facility where we conduct all the printing, production and fulfilment.
Please note: As everything we provide is handmade to order, all measurements may vary slightly.
