Introducing the thinnest mouse mat in the world!

flipmat_logo

If you want your brand to really grab attention, then the Flipmat® will achieve this. It comes in many shapes and sizes, and it can be custom made in the shape of your logo or maybe one of your products.The Flipmat® is predominately used as a mouse mat but here’s the unique creative twist – its patented non slip backing means that it can be printed on both sides – unlike any other mouse mat on the market today. So you get two opportunities to promote your business.You could use it as an invite, make it a direct mail piece (it is so light you can post it with a letter for the price of a first class stamp!) promote your latest product or service on both sides or tell people about your business launch. It will hit the desk rather than the bin and your message will be read. We design the front and back of your mat and we can also arrange nationwide distribution.

Designed for performance
After two years of extensive research on the optimum performance of optical or laser mice, the revolutionary Flipmat® is now in production. Flipmat® is a precise surface that has a copyrighted design integrated on the surface of the pad with millions of Optical Anchor Points (OAP’s) that ensures extremely accurate movements of the pointer on the computer screen. A $1million production line has been designed and implemented.
The benefits of this revolutionary surface are:
* Smaller in size by up to 50% of regular mats.
* Works for all mice (optical and ball).
* Super slick action with a specially designed additive called Textron.
* Teflon mimicking qualities, - anti static properties to repel dust.
* Millions of Optical Anchor Points that improve pointer movement by up to 50%.
* Increased battery life of cordless mice.
* Environ friendly build process & materials that eliminate photo chemicals & inks.

FlipMat Benefits
Flipmat® was designed primarily for Optical mice, but works just as well for ball mice.Optical mice use a camera taking thousands of pictures a second (not a laser beam). It identifies Optical Anchor Points (OAP's), from which distance and directions are calculated. Flipmat® contains millions of OAP's on each mat to assist in this registration.Flipmat® contains a specially formulated additive that we engineered called Textron. Textron provides Teflon mimicking qualities to the surface of the Flipmat®. This ensures smooth movement of the mouse. This assists in reducing the effects of RSI for those that spend hours on the computer each day.Optical mice only need a registration surface of 120mm x 108mm or 13,000 sq mm (approx). Flipmat® is a generous 225mm x 155 mm or 35,000 sq mm (approx), more than twice that area. Our product testing included 1000's of hours of usage with all types of optical or ball mice.A specially extruded plastic provides a unique embossed texture that provides depth of field for the pictures taken by the optical mouse to assist in registering the Optical Anchor Points (OAP's). For those using the old ball mouse system, the embossed surface also assists in traction for the old style tracking mouse.Another feature of our Textron additive is it provides anti static resistibility. Static build up is non existent upon your Flipmat®. This provides a safer work environment and protection of computers. Dust build up due to static electricity is removed also ensuring the mouse does not get affected by grime and debris as easily.

FAQs
Q: How long will the Flipmat last?
A: Your Flipmat® will last for years under normal use.
Q: Why is the design like it is?
A: The design of the Flipmat® is specially formulated to ensure the most accurate and efficient movement of the mouse and the pointer on the computer screen. Within the design are millions of hidden Optical Anchor Points.
Q: How long will it take to receive my order?
A: 14 working days from art work approval and deposit payment.
Q: My Flipmat is a little bit dirty – can I clean it?
A: Yes – just clean it by wiping with a dry cloth every month.
Q: Why can’t I just use my desk for Optical mice?
A: Friction from the desk reduces the efficiency, it can damage the desk. If battery operated, it will run the battery down much quicker. Also refer to the white paper on causes of RSI. Desks only have a few thousand optical anchor points as compared to millions which are integrated into the copyrighted design of the Flipmat®.
Q: What stops the Flipmat from slipping?
A: Our non slip patented backing took 3 years to perfect. It contains no plasticizers, unlike other slim line mat designs, which rely on adhesive based compounds to stick the mat to the desk.Our non slip backing contains no adhesives, so no leaching of the any substance will be transferred to the desk surface. Our backing is formulated to be resistant to water and with no adhesive is friction activated onto the desk surface. The mats can be also run through mail houses for insertion into envelopes and magazines.
