Imprinting Processes

Flocking

The most versatile printing method which is available on most matting surfaces. A heavy adhesive is applied via a screen process which creates the desired image. Nylon flock is then electrostatically imbedded in the adhesive and cross linked to become a part of the matting surface. The flock fibers are UV stable and mildew resistant. See color chart 1 for available standard flock colors. (Letters for single color flocking should be no less than 1" tall. Line width should be no less than 3/8" thick on single color imaging. For fine logo designs we suggest utilizing our multi-color flock process. Our multi-color flock process allows for letters as small as 30 point.)

Inlaid Graphics

A high quality imprint process by which the logo is inserted into the mat in the same material as the base mat. The Inlaid Graphics process is available in the Aqua Dam Mat. Colors available are the same as the base mat material. (Letters should be 2" tall: line should be at least 1/2" thick. Block or bold script letter styles reproduce best. Ornate or thin letters do not reproduce well.

Molding

A steel mold reflecting the desired image is placed on top of the uncured nitrile rubber. When heat and pressure are applied the image is molded into the surface of the mat as the rubber cures.

 

Screen Print Process

A surface printed method available in up to six imprint colors for those truly price driven promotional mat programs. Imprint color matches available at no extra cost. Choose from two materials; Caliber Rib and Level Loop.
