Sublimation on mouse pads (Cyprus)
Sublimation printing on mouse pads in Cyprus — 200°C edge-to-edge on neoprene and polyester mouse pads. Runs from 30 units, 5–7 business day lead time from Limassol.
Why sublimation is the standard for edge-to-edge full-colour mouse pads
A Limassol SaaS wanted 80 branded mouse pads for new-joiner welcome kits, each carrying an edge-to-edge full-colour photograph of the company logo over a Limassol skyline. UV printing needed a flat panel; screen printing on rubber mouse pads was impossible. Sublimation printed the artwork edge-to-edge at 200°C in a heat press on a 3 mm neoprene rubber-base mouse pad with polyester face, finished the run in 6 business days. Cost: €4.20 per pad on a 24×19 cm neoprene rubber-base mouse pad.
Models and materials that work with sublimation on a mouse pad
Sublimation requires a polyester-faced mouse pad. The standard grade is 3 mm neoprene rubber-base with polyester face (Orca Coatings Sublimation Pad 24×19 cm). The premium tier is 5 mm heavy rubber-base with stitched edges for premium client handover. Sizes: 24×19 cm (standard), 30×25 cm (large/extended desk mat). Print placements: edge-to-edge full-surface (220×170 mm standard, 280×230 mm large).
Sublimation specifics: paper, dye, and press
Standard production: print artwork in reverse on sublimation paper using a Sawgrass SG500 sublimation printer with SubliJet-HD dye-based ink, lay on the polyester-faced mouse pad, heat-press at 200°C for 60 seconds in a flat-bed heat-press, medium pressure. The dye sublimates from solid to gas and bonds with the polyester face. The print sits inside the fabric — no film, no raised surface. Wash durability: 50+ cycles with a damp cloth; the rubber base is not machine-washable.
Bundling and packaging
Mouse pads ship individually in 250×200 mm poly mailers (€0.20 per mailer uplift) or in a kraft gift box with tissue interleave for VIP tiers (€1.20 per box uplift). Bulk deliveries go in master cartons of 50 pads each.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — but the rubber base must be bonded to a polyester fabric face. Standard rubber-only mouse pads do not take sublimation.
Can sublimation print edge-to-edge on a mouse pad?
Yes — edge-to-edge is the standard sublimation application on mouse pads.
Is the sublimation print washable?
The fabric face is wipe-clean with a damp cloth (50+ cycles). The rubber base is not machine-washable.
Can each mouse pad carry a unique name?
Yes — variable-data sublimation is included up to 50 unique names. Above 50 we charge €0.40 per unique name.
Can sublimation reproduce a photographic image?
Yes — sublimation prints full CMYK at 1440 dpi edge-to-edge.
What is the largest mouse pad size?
The largest is the 30×25 cm extended desk mat — covers full desk surface area.
