Sublimation transfers only work on 100% polyester fabric and sublimation coated products (mugs, tumblers, mousepads, coasters). They will not work on cotton, dark colours, or uncoated surfaces. For cotton or dark fabric use our DTF transfers instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this include the mouse pad?
No — this listing is for the sublimation transfer only. The mouse pad blank is not included. You will need a white polyester sublimation coated mouse pad blank. Sublimation will not work on standard fabric or neoprene mouse pads — the blank must have a white polyester sublimation surface.
What size sublimation mouse pad transfer do I need?
We offer three sizes. The Standard 9.4 by 7.9 inch is best for office and home use. The Extended Gaming 12 by 22 inch covers keyboard and mouse together and is ideal for gaming setups. The Desk Mat 14 by 24 inch is best for premium home office and work from home desks. Choose the size that matches your mouse pad blank.
What temperature and time do I use to press a mouse pad sublimation transfer?
Press at 385°F (196°C) for 50-60 seconds for the Standard and Extended Gaming sizes. For the larger Desk Mat press for 60-70 seconds at the same temperature. Always use a flat heat press — not a mug press. See our full Time and Temperature Guide for complete instructions.
What file size do I need for a mouse pad sublimation transfer?
Upload your design at 300dpi sized to your chosen mouse pad dimensions. Standard: 9.4 by 7.9 inches. Extended Gaming: 12 by 22 inches. Desk Mat: 14 by 24 inches. PNG or PDF format recommended. Download our free Size Chart and Print Guide for templates.
What is the difference between sublimation and DTF transfers for mouse pads?
Sublimation transfers bond permanently into the polyester surface leaving no texture — the print becomes part of the pad. This only works on white polyester sublimation coated mouse pads. DTF transfers work on fabric in any colour and leave a slight raised feel. For fabric based desk accessories use our DTF transfers.
How quickly will my mouse pad sublimation transfer be dispatched?
All orders are printed in the USA and dispatched within 24 hours of ordering from our facility in Agoura Hills, California. No overseas production — no delays. Order by 2PM for same day dispatch.
Is there a minimum order quantity?
No minimum — order as few as 1 transfer in any size. Perfect for a single custom order, corporate gift, or testing a new design. Volume pricing is available for larger quantities.
