When your brand needs to make a first impression, it shouldn't come at the cost of the environment. ColorStar Impressions Logo Mats combine photographic-quality digital printing with 100% recycled PET carpet — the same material made from plastic bottles.
Your logo is digitally printed at 76 dpi, creating sharp graphics with fine details, shading, and even 3D effects. The PET surface naturally resists staining from coffee, mud, and tracked-in debris, keeping your logo crisp between cleanings.
Choose from 60 standard colors on durable 23 oz/yd² cut pile carpet. Available with SBR rubber or nitrile backing for commercial laundry programs. NFSI-certified high-traction for safe commercial use.

- Wash temperature: 120°F (140°F max for heavy soil)
- Break should not exceed pH 9.5
- Dryer basket temperature should not exceed 180°F
- Lay mats flat after washing; allow cooling before rolling

- 100-mil MegaHold: Heaviest traffic, maximum dimensional stability

ColorStar Impressions is designed for indoor use. It can be used in covered outdoor areas protected from direct weather, but performs best indoors. For outdoor entrances, consider WaterHog Impressions HD.
We can reproduce gradients and fine details at 76 dpi, though results depend on the 60-color palette. For smooth gradients and photographic images, ColorStar Impressions HD (150 colors, 32 oz carpet) delivers better results.
PET offers superior stain resistance (stains wipe away instead of soaking in), exceptional fade resistance (color is built into the fiber), and it's made from 100% recycled plastic bottles — the eco-friendly choice without compromising performance.
