Description
While the placemat itself is manufactured in China, the design and printing are done in Mesa, Arizona by a retired guy who likes to keep busy.
A placemat is a protective covering placed at an individual’s setting on a table to shield the table’s surface from spills, stains, and heat, and to add decoration and define a specific eating area. Our placemats come in a wide variety of styles and are used for both casual and formal dining. They are made from 100% polyester. They are machine was and tumble dry. We use Ink Sublimation to print the designs. Ink Sublimation was originally designed so that manufacturers could Color Fast Print on polyester. The ink actually binds with the fabric at the fiber level to insure crisp lines, bright colors and a long lasting color fast design.
