What it is for
A mouse pad or desk mat sits under someone's hands all day at work.
The mouse covers the lower right on most desks; put the important part of the picture elsewhere.
Dye sublimation
Sublimation prints the design onto transfer paper with dye ink; heat then turns the dye into a gas that bonds into a polyester coating or polyester fibre.
Colour becomes part of the surface rather than a layer on top, so it is vivid and does not crack or peel. It cannot print white: white in a design shows as the colour of the item itself, which is why sublimated items are white or pale.
There is no texture at all — on fabric you cannot feel the print, and on a mug it is under a smooth coating.
Designs that suit it
Landscape images, maps and patterns suit the shape. A desk mat is large enough for a full scene.
The print area is on the front: 5,610 × 3,839 pixels, about 18.7 × 12.8 in at 300 dpi — a wide, landscape area. The studio generates the design at that size, so it is printed from a full-resolution file rather than an enlarged preview.
Full-colour photographs, paintings and edge-to-edge patterns. Less suited: designs that rely on white ink, and important detail right at seams, handles or edges where the transfer wraps.

Where it is printed, and when it arrives
It is printed to order in Norcross, GA, United States, then shipped: 10–30 business days to Canada ($21.22 CAD for the first item) and 2–5 business days to the US ($11.91 CAD). Each window counts from the day the order is placed and includes printing.
Printed in North America, so it ships without an overseas leg and no import duties apply within North America.
To arrive by Christmas 2026 with standard shipping, order by November 13 for Canada and December 18 for the US — that is the Desk Mat's own longest window counted back from December 25.

Looking after it
- Wash cold, inside out.
- Tumble dry low.
- No bleach; the colour is in the fibre, so it will not crack.
Before you order
How long does the Desk Mat take to arrive?
To Canada, 10–30 business days, with first-item shipping at $21.22 CAD; to the US, 2–5 business days ($11.91 CAD). It is printed to order in Norcross, GA, United States, and the window counts from the day you order, printing included.
Can I put a photo on the Desk Mat?
Yes. Sublimation reproduces photographs in full colour with no texture. White areas print as the item's own colour, so a photo with a white background blends into it. The print file is 5610 × 3839 pixels on the front, so a photo should be at least that size to print sharply.
What sizes does the Desk Mat come in?
3 sizes: 12" × 18", 12" × 22", 16" × 32".
When should I order the Desk Mat for Christmas?
With standard shipping, by November 13 to Canada and December 18 to the US. Those dates count this product's longest delivery window back from December 25 in business days. Express shipping at checkout, where it is offered, shortens the window.
How do I look after the Desk Mat?
It is sublimation-printed, and that sets the care. Wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low. No bleach; the colour is in the fibre, so it will not crack.
