Ordering Instructions For The Logo Mat Collection

Message "Overview: The Andersen Company offers 4 different types of logo mats: Classic Impressions, ColorStar CompuTuft, Waterhog Inlay, and SuperScrape Logos. Each of these logo mat programs result in high quality products that your customers will be very proud to use.  Pricing is calculated by each individual size and quantity.  Different size logo mats and standard mats cannot be combined for quantity discount.

ClassicImpressions logo mats are manufactured using our state-of-the-art digital printer. We start with a white 100% static dissipative nylon carpet and digitally dye your choice of 24 standard colors or your special PMS colors into the carpet. With this manufacturing process ""Phase-in"" colors and shaded areas are possible helping to create 3-D designs. Designs with intricate details or small letters are possible with ClassicImpressions. 

ColorStar CompuTuft mats are also produced using a computerized tufting machine.  20 colors of anti-static, solution dyed nylon are available for designing your logo.  Up to 6 colors may be chosen for a single design.  ColorStar CompuTuft mats have excellent colorfastness and should be chosen when the mat placement area is exposed to direct sunlight.

Waterhog Inlay mats are produced by cutting your design out of fabric with a computerized cutting machine and then piecing the design back together like a puzzle. 18 colors of anti-static, polypropylene fabric are available for your designing needs. There is no limit to the number of colors that are used in a single design. Standard prices allow for designs with up to 30 letters etc. Designs with 30 or more letters, characters or pieces will be charged a surcharge.

SuperScrape Logo mats are produced by molding a colored nitrile rubber logo or design into a black nitrile rubber background.  6 logo colors are available.  A maximum of 5 colors plus the black background may be used in a single design.  SuperScrape Logo mats are available in 3 x 5 and 4 x 6 sizes only.

Design:  Designing mats is simple. All we require is good quality original black and white artwork that is no larger than 8 ½”x 11” in size since the art is scanned into the computer. On one of our logo order forms please indicate the type logo desired, size, color and direction of your logo. It is then converted into a logo file, which can be manipulated to fit the requirements of our different logo processes. When complete, the design is stored on a computer disc. This disc is then loaded into a computer that controls the logo manufacturing process.

Artwork Requirements: The Andersen Company is committed to providing the most attractive logo mats available. Essential to this is the quality of the artwork that is provided to us. The best artwork is a black and white ad slick. The slick can be any size up to 8 ½”x 11”. All artwork must be submitted by mail, Federal Express, or email. E-Mail (in the following PC formats only:  jpg, wmf, tif, eps, dfx, gif, & bitmap)

Faxed copies distort artwork and therefore cannot be used. Below is a list of different types of artwork. Each is classified as acceptable, unacceptable or marginal. If we are unable to use marginal artwork, we will advise the person that placed the order to supply us with different materials. Please try to provide the best possible artwork on the initial order, as this will expedite the process.

First and second versions of art proof on a single design are provided at no charge. Additional art proof versions of the same design will cost $25.00 each. Art proof charges will not be refunded if the design is subsequently ordered.
