Choosing mouse pads

There's a reason IT firms, accountants, software companies and office suppliers keep ordering these. A mouse pad sits under someone's hand for eight hours a day, and it's one of the few promotional items that gets positioned directly in the working space. Custom mouse pads are also handy for home-office setups, which often lack the small comforts a proper workplace gets without thinking.

Unlike most promotional products, this one gives you a wide, flat surface, so artwork isn't fighting a curve or a seam. You can use a photo, a map, a chart of useful shortcuts or a full-bleed design, and it's worth doing something a little more useful than a logo in the middle of a colour field. Remember the mouse will cover part of it, so keep key details to the edges.

Size is worth thinking about too, because oversized desk mats are a different animal from a compact pad, and they cost more to buy and ship. A person who travels with a laptop might want something thin that rolls up. Check the decoration method on the product page, and send your highest-resolution artwork, since a pad this large will show off any blurry edges.
