What is the Rectangle Neoprene Mouse Pad?
The Rectangle Neoprene Mouse Pad is a mouse pad built around Closed-cell neoprene. It measures 9 1/4" x 7 3/4" x 1/8".
In practice: neoprene insulates and is naturally water-resistant, hence it is the default for can and bottle coolers..
Directly under the hand for the entire working day. Impression cost per hour of exposure is close to unbeatable. Screen and heat-transfer printing both work; full-color dye sublimation covers the whole surface. The two together are why this item re-orders.
Treat this as reach inventory. The point of the tier is that you can put one in every hand at an event without the total ever becoming a conversation with finance. Concretely: $4.32 each at 1-11, $2.68 at 500+.

Decoration options
The decoration method is chosen to match the substrate, which is why the mark is permanent rather than printed on top of it. Standard imprint area on this item is 5 in x 3.88 in.
Screen Printing
Ink is pushed through a mesh stencil, one screen per color. Dense, opaque color that holds up to washing and handling.
Bags, apparel and high-volume runs.
Spot colors, typically up to 4.
Dye Sublimation
Heat converts solid dye to gas, which bonds into a polyester coating or ceramic glaze. Full-color artwork embedded in the surface rather than sitting on top of it.
Full-wrap photographic decoration on mugs, coated drinkware and coated metal.
Full color. Cannot print white. The substrate supplies white.
Heat Transfer
A printed transfer is applied under heat and pressure. Full-color decoration on fabrics and soft goods.
Small runs and complex multi-color artwork on textiles.
Full color.
Artwork requirements
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- Vector artwork (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) reproduces best at every size and is what we ask for first.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- If the logo is only available as a bitmap, we need it at 300 dpi or better at final size, ideally on a transparent background.

Common uses
Where this works best
The same item lands differently depending on who gets it and why. Here is how this one performs across the programs it sells into most.
Financial Services, Insurance & Legal
Professional services sell trust, and the gift has to look like the invoice. Understated materials, restrained decoration and genuine quality all read as competence. Anything that looks cheap actively undermines the positioning, so this segment skews toward crystal, leather and solid desk pieces. The unit cost here is low enough that reach matters more than restraint.
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Procurement documentation often takes longer than production. Quotes with fixed validity periods, documented lead times and clear line-item pricing move faster through approval than a better price presented informally. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. Order deep. At this price the waste of a few extra is cheaper than running short.
Technology, SaaS & Startups
Distributed teams have no office to carry the culture, so the objects have to. Company swag competes with genuinely good consumer products for the same desk space, and it usually loses. The piece has to be something the recipient would plausibly have bought, or it becomes a donation to a charity shop. Directly under the hand for the entire working day. Impression cost per hour of exposure is close to unbeatable. Volume is the point at $4.32; nobody is auditing this line item.
Onboarding & New Hire Kits
Day one sets the tone for everything after it. A welcome kit waiting on a desk, or arriving at a home address before a remote start, is the cheapest culture signal an employer can buy. Items that get used daily do the most work here, because they keep signalling belonging long after week one. Screen and heat-transfer printing both work; full-color dye sublimation covers the whole surface. Cost per impression is the number that matters here, and it is very low.
Education, Schools & Universities
Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Departments buy separately even when the brand is shared, which is how a university ends up with nine versions of its own crest. A single approved item list with locked artwork solves more than any individual purchasing decision will. The mouse pad format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. Cheap enough to over-order slightly, which is the right call for a table.

What do buyers ask about SMP1?
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on SMP1 is 5 in x 3.88 in. If your mark does not sit well in that shape we redraw or re-proportion it and show you the result on the proof before anything is produced. Engraving is charged on the share of the area your artwork covers, so a smaller mark costs less.
Can I see a proof before you produce the order?
Yes, and nothing runs until you have signed it off. Read it properly rather than skimming, because the approved proof is the specification we produce against. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
How should this be cared for?
Hand wash. Air dry. SMP1 measures 9 1/4" x 7 3/4" x 1/8" and is made of neoprene. Neoprene insulates and is naturally water-resistant, hence it is the default for can and bottle coolers. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file.
How long does production take?
Door to door at standard speed: a day for the proof, 3 to 5 business days in production, then 1 to 5 business days in transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
The published ladder on SMP1 runs from $4.32 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.68 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. SMP1 sells from a single unit at $4.32, the first rung of its published ladder, so a sample is simply a normal order. A decorated single piece goes through the same proof as a full run.
What happens if something arrives damaged?
Tell us within 10 days of delivery and we replace it. Note any damage on the freight bill before you sign for it, because that is what the carrier claim turns on. Resolving it with the carrier is our job, not yours. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.
What is the minimum order for SMP1?
SMP1 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on SMP1 runs from $4.32 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.68 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on SMP1 is 5 in x 3.88 in.
