Graphic Inlaid Logo Mats vs Jet Print Logo Mats

Have you ever wondered if there was a way to make your brand more prominent in your facility? Why not use a logo mat? Branded floor mats can protect your internal flooring while also effectively promoting your brand. COBA Africa has a wide range of logo mats to suit your site. From high traffic to low traffic entrance matting, we have them all. Some of our logo mats were used as a placemat for photo booths (yes, our logo mats are insta-ready for you to admire).

Not all logo mats are made equally

To ensure you purchase the correct custom mat for your facility, it’s important to understand the difference between a graphic inlaid and a jet-printed logo mat. With branded mats, there is an element of style involved, along with practical use. This is why when assisting you in selecting the right style of logo mat, we keep in mind what will work for the traffic volume your facility gets and what weather conditions the mat would need to withstand.

4 Cons of graphic inlaid mats

• Like any other mat, proper cleaning and maintenance of the mat are required to ensure its longevity
• Small details are not always possible. Our Graphic Logo Mat Designer, can easily assist you with what details won’t be possible with graphic inlaid mats.
• If your logo is in a low resolution, our Graphic Logo Mat Designer would need to recreate your logo for it to be possible to cut your logo mat. This is a task that takes some time to complete, however; our Logo Mat Designer works hard to do this as quickly and accurately as possible.
• Due to a graphic inlaid mat hardwearing characteristic, it is a thicker mat and if height is an issue for your site, this might not always be the best solution.

5 Pros of jet print matting

• You can add a lot of detail to your design.
• A wide range of bright colours is available to make a statement with your logo mat.
• The mat base is light and easy to move and clean.
• You can create a unique design for your entrance.
• A custom mat can assist you with emphasising your brand.

4 Cons of jet print matting

• A jet-printed mat is a thin mat that will not last in high-traffic environments
• Over time, the once bright colour may fade from harsh sunlight or washing
• Not recommended for installing into a mat well
• Due to the height of the product, it will wear and tear fast if the site has wheeled traffic. Not recommended for shopping centres.

We recommend opting for a graphic inlaid mat as there are more benefits and options available for the base material.
