Different Methods of Customization and Branding for Branded Bar Mats
Depending on the material used to make the bar mat, the pathways that can be taken to print your logo on the product will differ. Here are a few options for personalizing these printed bar runners with your desired design:
- Rubber: Bar mats made from rubber are often accompanied by a polyester surface which is perfect for customizing with your logo. As the product is flat, a common option used to print logos and designs is screen printing, which applies multiple layers of vibrant ink. This material configuration is frequently utilized for corporate client distributions.
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): There are two main options for this material, the first being UV Digital Printing. This method involves CMYK inks that are jetted directly onto the PVC mat and cured using UV light. In addition, an injection mold process can also be deployed to provide a tactile 3D or raised end result.
- Wood: Custom printed bar mats made from this substrate offer a rustic look, best used for heritage, craft, or themed brands and establishments. A common branding option used for wooden objects is laser engraving, which offers a long-lasting and precise single-color finish.
Once branded with your logo, these bar runners can be paired with other bar accessories such as a cocktail set, bottle openers, or an ice bucket — all personalized with your logo. These items can be sent to high-profile clients as a PR package or gifted through seasonal promotions.
Material selection dictates the exact customization technology required. Tailoring the print method to the substrate ensures long-lasting visual clarity and optimal brand alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard size for a branded bar runner?
The size of the bar mats usually differs according to the desired use and placement of the mat itself. However, standard sizing ranges from 18 x 12 inches (for drink preparation areas) to 24 x 3.5 inches (usually designed to sit across the stretch of a counter).
Are these custom bar mats heat resistant and waterproof?
Bar mats made from PVC and rubber offer great heat resistance which allows them to protect bar surfaces from harm. However, eco-friendly options that are made from bamboo do not share the same benefits. Overall, all commercial-grade bar mats are meant to catch spillage which ensures that they are waterproof.
Can these printed bar runners be used on any surface?
The bar mat can be used on any surface to prevent breakages and spills. However, there is one thing that needs to be kept in mind: in the event of the bar mat being used on an unsealed or poor-quality wooden surface, they are more likely to absorb trapped moisture. Therefore, it is recommended for the mat to be occasionally lifted and cleaned to prevent discolouration.
Are these custom printed bar runners easy to clean?
Yes, they are! To clean a rubber bar mat all that needs to be done is to rinse it under warm water while applying mild dish soap to remove any residue of spilled beverages. They must be allowed to air dry completely before the next use to prevent the growth of mold beneath the mat.
Will my logo colours be compromised when printed on the mats?
Full-colour and detailed prints can be achieved without being compromised through the dye-sublimation process. However, this can only be achieved for a rubber mat that has a polyester fabric surface.

Standard Dimensions: Sizing matrices scale by service task; compact 18 x 12-inch profiles protect localized cocktail preparation stations, while elongated 24 x 3.5-inch footprints span commercial serving counters.
Thermal & Fluid Metrics: Heavy-duty rubber and industrial PVC variants provide exceptional waterproofing and surface insulation. Organic bamboo options do not share these technical performance ratings.
Surface Care Guidelines: Safe for multi-surface utility. When deploying on raw or unsealed wood countertops, periodic lifting is recommended to vent trapped condensation and protect underlying wood finishes.
Sanitization Routines: Maintenance requires a simple warm water rinse paired with mild surfactants. Complete atmospheric air drying is mandatory before redeployment to eliminate subsurface organic growth.
Graphic Color Curing: High-definition branding and complex color matching are perfectly preserved using dye-sublimation processing, exclusively compatible with polyester-topped rubber mats.
