1. What are custom placemats?

Custom placemats are printed paper or paperboard sheets placed on dining tables to protect the surface, present your brand, and add a professional touch to the guest experience. They can carry your logo, menu items, promotional content, or seasonal designs, and are widely used across restaurants, cafes, hotels, and catering businesses.

2. How do I order custom printed placemats?

Choose your size, material, and print design. Submit your artwork, review your digital proof, and once approved, your order moves into production with free design support and free shipping included across the USA.

3. What is the minimum order quantity for placemats?

Our minimum order starts at just 100 units, making it a practical option for small restaurants, independent cafes, and new businesses. Bulk wholesale orders of 5,000+ and 10,000+ units qualify for tiered pricing discounts.

4. What sizes of placemats do you offer?

Our standard placemat size is 10×14 inches, which fits most dining table setups. Fully custom dimensions are also available — share your table size and layout requirements and we’ll produce placemats that fit your setup exactly.

5. What materials are used to make placemats?

Our placemats are available in white SBS paperboard, coated art paper, unbleached kraft, and recycled board options ranging from 250 to 350 GSM. All materials are food-safe and FDA-compliant for direct use in dining environments.

6. Can I print my menu or promotions on the placemat?

Absolutely. Placemats are a great space to feature your menu, daily specials, promotional offers, QR codes linking to your online menu, social media handles, and brand artwork. Both single-sided and double-sided printing are available to make the most of every inch.

7. Do you offer kids activity placemats?

Yes. We can print puzzles, coloring zones, word games, mazes, and other activity content on the reverse side of your placemats. These are especially popular with family restaurants, school cafeterias, and theme dining experiences aimed at younger guests.

8. What coating and finishing options are available?

We offer Gloss, Matte, and Spot UV finishing options, along with gloss and matte lamination for added durability. Soft-touch lamination is also available for a premium feel that works well in fine dining and hotel dining environments.

9. Do you offer eco-friendly placemats?

Yes. Recyclable, compostable, and FSC-certified placemat options are available, including unbleached kraft and recycled paperboard materials printed with soy-based inks and water-based coatings for restaurants and venues committed to sustainable practices.

10. Can I order placemats in multiple designs in one batch?

Yes. We can split your order across different designs, seasonal layouts, or promotional versions to suit multiple campaigns or dining areas — all within a single production run at the same wholesale rate.

11. How long does production take?

Standard turnaround is 10–14 business days. Rush production is available in 7–10 business days for grand openings, seasonal menu launches, last-minute event catering, or any order that needs a faster lead time.

12. Is design support included with my order?

Yes, free design support is included on every order. Our team helps with layout, color matching, menu formatting, dieline setup, and brand alignment so your placemats look polished and professional before they go to print.

13. Can I get a sample before placing a full order?

Yes. We provide a digital PDF proof and 3D mockup before production begins. Physical samples are also available on request so you can check the material weight, coating finish, and print quality before committing to a full production run.

14. Do you ship placemat orders across the USA?

Yes. Free shipping is included on all wholesale placemat orders across the USA. Expedited shipping options are also available for orders with tighter deadlines or upcoming events that need faster delivery.

15. What other uses do custom placemats have beyond restaurant dining?

Custom placemats work well as event table liners for corporate dinners and weddings, branded tray liners for fast food counters, promotional handouts at food festivals, desk mats for office dining areas, and decorative display sheets for product photography and food styling setups.
