For most business entryways, a custom logo welcome mat at the door is the most effective choice. A logo welcome mat does three things at once: it makes a branded first impression, it traps dirt and moisture before either reach the floors inside, and it reduces slip hazards. For high-traffic entrances or rainy climates, pair the indoor logo welcome mat with an outdoor scraper mat like WaterHog Impressions – the two-mat system removes up to 70% more dirt than a single mat alone.

Over carpeted floors, you need an entrance mat with a non-slip rubber backing that won’t shift or curl – nitrile rubber backings are the commercial-grade standard. Rug Rats’s DigiPrint HD and Prestige logo welcome mats both use nitrile rubber backings designed to grip low-pile carpet without damaging it. Avoid PVC-backed mats on carpet – they tend to slide and can leave residue.

A walk-off mat is an entrance mat placed at the door specifically to capture dirt, moisture, and grit from shoes before that debris is tracked into the building. A custom logo welcome mat IS a walk-off mat – it serves both the branding and floor-protection purposes. Effective walk-off mats are at least 4 feet long so a visitor takes 2-3 full steps on the mat before reaching the floor inside.

A logo welcome mat has your business name, logo, mascot, or custom design printed or inlaid into the mat. A standard welcome mat is plain or has generic text like “WELCOME.” Logo welcome mats reinforce your brand at the first point of customer contact and last longer because they’re built on commercial-grade backings.

Entry-level indoor logo welcome mats start at $65 for a 2×3 Prestige. Most commercial-grade logo welcome mats run $280 to $500 for standard sizes. Pricing scales with size and material. Free digital proof and exact quote within 24 hours of your request.

Standard production is 10 business days from when you approve your digital proof. Most logo welcome mat orders ship the next business day after production via UPS or FedEx Ground with tracking.

Yes – the WaterHog Impressions and SuperScrape Impressions lines are designed for outdoor entrances and handle weather, UV exposure, and heavy shoe traffic. DigiPrint HD and Prestige are indoor mats and should not be used outdoors. If you’re not sure which material is right for your entrance, ask when you request a quote.

Vector files (.ai, .eps, .svg, .pdf) work best because they scale to any size without losing quality. High-resolution raster files (.png, .jpg over 300 dpi) work too. If you are not sure what file type you have, just send it – we’ll tell you.

For a standard single business door (36 inches wide), a 3’x5′ welcome mat is the minimum and a 4’x6′ is better. For double-door entrances, choose 4’x6′ minimum or 4’x8′ for heavy traffic. The mat should extend at least 12 to 18 inches beyond the doorway on each side so foot traffic always lands on the mat. For high-traffic commercial lobbies, a two-mat system works best — an outdoor scraper plus an indoor wiper. For a complete sizing reference based on door width and traffic level, see our mat size guide. Rug Rats makes custom logo welcome mats in any size, made to order in the USA, free 24-hour digital proof, no setup fees.

For snow, ice, and slush conditions, the best welcome mat is a WaterHog Impressions mat placed outside the door. The rubber waffle surface scrapes snow and ice off shoes, and the patented water-dam border holds up to 1.5 gallons of water per square yard — so melting snow stays at the door instead of running into your lobby. For maximum protection in heavy winter weather, use a two-mat system: a WaterHog or SuperScrape outdoor mat at the entrance, plus a Prestige or DigiPrint HD indoor mat just inside the door to catch remaining moisture. Both Rug Rats outdoor logo mats are UV-resistant, cold-weather durable, and freeze-stable. All Rug Rats commercial entrance mats feature a rubber reducer edging that keeps the mat flat against the floor — heels, wheelchairs, walkers, luggage carts, and shopping carts roll smoothly across without catching.
