Whether you’re grinding at a local Commander night, jamming games at the kitchen table, or heading into a high-stakes tournament, your playmat is your battlefield. So why settle for a generic design when you can play on something that’s 100% you?
We’re pumped to officially launch Custom Print TCG Playmats at Nerd Gear. That means you can upload your own design and turn it into a premium MTG / TCG playmat with crisp detail, vibrant color, and a finish that feels amazing on the table.
Your favorite character. Your deck theme. Your original art. Your dumbest meme. If it’s your vibe, it belongs on your battlefield.

Premium quality, not “hope it turns out”
A lot of custom mats out there look fine in a preview… then show up blurry, washed out, or cut too close to the edges.
We built this program to avoid all that.
Free design review (seriously, free)
Once you finish your design, our team will review it for print quality and compatibility before we run it. If we spot a major issue, we’ll reach out so you’re not stuck with a mat that didn’t print the way you expected.
That’s a $10 value, included.
Free image upscaling
If your image is a bit soft or slightly blurry, we can try to enhance it before printing.

Included free (a $15 value)

Heads up: upscaling has limits, so higher-quality files will always win
Premium HD printing
We print at 2400 x 1200 dpi, which is the kind of resolution that makes details look clean and colors hit hard.
If you’ve ever seen a mat where the art looks fuzzy up close, yeah… we’re not doing that.
Built like a real playmat (because it is)
Every custom mat comes standard with the stuff that actually matters during gameplay:
- Stitched edges are standard for durability and a premium feel
- Non-slip rubber base so your board state stays put
- Standard TCG / MTG size at about 24" x 14"
- Machine washable (air drying recommended)
Pick your feel: 2mm vs 3mm, Regular vs Shiny
When you build your mat, you can dial in exactly how you want it to play.

Thickness options
- Regular 2mm: the most common, classic playmat feel
- Thick & Fuzzy 3mm: extra comfort with a soft-touch surface and a sturdy natural rubber base. It also helps soften sound during play.
Finish options
- Regular finish: classic look, less glare, smooth gameplay feel
- Shiny finish: more reflective and vibrant, makes colors pop under light
Both versions come with stitched edges, so it’s really about the vibe you want on the table.
How it works (fast and easy)
- Choose your material: Regular 2mm or Thick Fuzzy 3mm, then Shiny or Regular
- Upload your artwork (your file, your vision) or start from existing designs
- Customize the layout: position, filters, colors, add text, and more
- Add to cart and checkout and we’ll print and ship it
Pro tip: If your design has important details near the edges, leave at least 1/2" of breathing room so nothing gets cut off.

Made to order in Canada (with clear timelines)
Every custom playmat is made to order at our Canadian facility. We print it, inspect it, and make sure it meets our quality standards before it ships.
- Production time: please allow 3 to 5 business days before shipping
- Shipping: most Canada and USA orders arrive in about up to 2 weeks after production (international can take longer)
If you’re in the USA: because we ship from Canada, tariffs and import fees are included in your shipping cost at checkout, so there are no surprise charges on delivery.
Because of that, this product is not eligible for free shipping to the USA.
A quick note on what you can upload
You can upload your own art or designs you have the rights to use. If you’re unsure, play it safe and use original work or properly licensed art.
- hate speech
- promotion of illegal activities
- extreme gore
- nudity
- non-consensual imagery
We reserve the right to cancel and refund any order that violates these standards.
Returns and defects
Custom print playmats are final sale (since they’re made just for you).
If there’s a product defect, we’ll happily replace it.
