FAQ's
What are printed desk pads?
Printed desk pads are protective writing surfaces for desks that have customised designs, graphics, or branding printed on them. These pads combine functionality with personalised aesthetics.
Why do you print your desk pads on uncoated paper?
Uncoated paper is just like regular office printing paper and has no shine. Its higher porosity allows it to absorb ink faster compared to other types of paper, resulting in a smudge-free surface that is ideal for writing.

Material

While the texture is rougher than coated stocks, it offers a softer aesthetic to designs featuring images and enhances text legibility. This type of paper is also more porous, allowing for quick ink absorption, resulting in a clean, smudge-free finish.

Artwork
Supplying Own Artwork
Be sure to supply your design using the CMYK colour mode with a resolution of at least 300dpi. Additionally, embed fonts, outline text and extend bleed areas beyond the trim marks to prevent any important elements from being cut off during printing and trimming. To ensure artwork is supplied correctly to avoid delays, we recommend using our artwork templates.
Please Note: For most products, the CMYK colour mode is utilised, however, other printed materials such as carrier bags and branded writing instruments are printed using Pantone colours. Any artwork supplied in RGB will be converted in to CMYK or Pantone depending on the product. Please bear in mind this will result in a significant colour difference which we will make you aware of prior to print.
