There is no need for ordering custom beer mats to be daunting. Once you have the right experience and a sound understanding, it should be easy to navigate and with professional results for your brand.
Design Specifications Matter
This is important, as most suppliers require artwork to be in high-resolution (minimum 300 DPI) formats such as PDF, AI or EPS. Most beer mats are 90mm round or 100mm square, but bespoke shapes can be requested. Take care to always have a bleed area of 3mm, that your cuts do not show white edges.
Material Choices Impact Performance
Pulpboard is still the go-to choice as it absorbs well, is cheap and green. Rubber-backed mats can be premium, with superior surface grip or waterproof synthetic materials for outdoor use.
Quantity and Pricing Considerations
Minimum orders normally begin at 250-500 units, and already impressive unit savings scale big with higher quantities. Urgent ones usually have a 25–50% increase of the price. For Personalised Beer Mats, contact https://wedoprinting.ie/product/custom-printed-beermats/
Lead Times and Planning
Normal production usually takes 7-10 full working days, however more complex designs or special materials may take a little longer. But also remember that every little detail could require an indefinite amount of time for design approval (and revision), so factor this in when laying out your timeline.
Quality Control Essentials
Proof: Request one before full production. Verify the colour corrects, text reads & design balance. Please note colours may vary from screen to print.
Finishing Touches
Special finishes like spot UV coating on logos, embossed text for a premium touch. In other words, these are additions that enhance the appearance of value without losing functionality.
Careful planning will ensure your custom beer mat makes the greatest marketing impression possible.
