Coasters

Key Features An effective promotional product now available with stunning graphics and without great cost even for small quantities.

Composition Wipe-clean top surface and a foam backing - as HardTop mouse mats. The recommended top surface is polycarbonate which provides superb heat resistance. Less expensive mark resist PVC is more popular and used in millions of coasters made each year but may distort with heat.

Foam backing 1.5mm or 3mm EPDM foam. Very stylish coasters can be made with 1.6mm natural rubber foam.

Print Screen print or offset litho four colour process. These coasters are printed directly onto the undersurface of the clear top material and cope with spills and cleaning easily.

Packaging Bulk.

Size and shape 98mm square or circular. Other shapes and sizes can be made.

AquaMatsTM and Coasters

The product A welded coaster containing two non-mixing coloured liquids creating an ever changing, stress-relieving display. Also available as the AquaMatTM mouse mat.

Composition Clear top with a surface chosen for its ability to provide strong, bright colours. Strongly welded along the edge to a ‘cling’ base and enclosing an oil and an aqueous solution.

Each coaster is carefully checked for leaks prior to despatch. The non-toxic liquids are all widely used in the food and cosmetic industries.

Print Undersurface screen print either above or below the liquid. Offset litho print can only be applied beneath the liquid.

Liquid colours Colours can only be matched roughly. The strength of the colour at any point depends on the thickness of the liquid and the colour shade will be affected by the colour of the other liquid.

Inserts Coasters can be supplied with floating glitter or messages. Proof essential.

Special shapes can be made without difficulty though sharp bends and points should be avoided. Welding tools are more expensive than cutting tools used for other kinds of mat.

Packaging Bulk packed but can be individually packed in white envelopes which can be personalised.

Standard size

98mm diameter or square

Recommendations The beauty of the coaster lies in the ever changing pattern created by the liquids. Keep the print to a minimum and keep it simple. Choose a white print to provide a contrast with dark liquids and black to provide a contrast with lighter coloured liquids. For best effect liquids are normally mixed in the ratio of 2:1 and there is always a small air bubble which behaves like a third liquid.

There are various ways of making liquid filled mats and coasters. AquaMats from this list are protected by patent 9817585.4
