Follow these simple steps to design and prepare your Mousepad for print:

    1. Choose Mousepad size
      Select from available Mousepad sizes at Cloudprinter.com — which fits you best.
    2. Create Mousepad design
      Make sure your information is within the limits; colors, background images and the layout of your Mousepad design extend to the limits area as well, so that there are no white edges on your Mousepad. We also recommend avoiding placing text or important information inside of the safe zone — the 3 mm inside of the edge in order not to be clipped when producing your Mousepad. Remember that the edges of your Mousepad will be rounded, so do not place any important parts of design in the corners. This way, you won't lose any data while you design your Mousepad.
    3. Prepare Mousepad file for printing 
      • Set 300 DPI resolution;
      • Choose RGB colour model;
      • Save the file in PDF/X-4.

    Well done! Now you can print your Mousepad all over the world as close to the delivery destination as possible.
