School Logo Mats – Crest Entrance, Reception & Corridor Mats for Schools, Academies & Nurseries, Design Online, Free Proof

Your crest at the door before the first bell. School logo mats printed in your exact school colours for the main entrance, reception, the hall, corridors, year-group doors and the nursery gate. The school office designs it online in minutes and sees the price for any size as it goes, the head approves a free proof, and the mat arrives free anywhere in mainland UK with a VAT invoice for the finance office. Every mat is printed into a dense 950 g/m² polyamide pile on a non-slip vinyl backing, Cfl-s1 fire rated for public buildings, and goes in a washing machine at 30°C at half term.

Why schools, academies and nurseries order from us

• Design it yourself, in minutes: upload the crest, pick the mat colour and size, and watch the proof build on screen. No quote form, no waiting for a rep to come back to you.
• Price shown before you order: every size, including made to measure, is priced live on the page, so the order can be raised the same day the head signs it off.
• Exact school colours: give us the Pantone or HEX references from the brand guidelines, or the uniform supplier, and the mat and crest are matched to them. 16.8 million colours, no extra charge for a multi-colour crest.
• Built for small, muddy feet: 165,000 tufts per m² scrape shoes and hold up to 2.5 litres of water per m², so the lobby floor stays dry on wet mornings.
• Fire rated for your risk assessment: Class Cfl-s1 to EN 13501-1, the flooring class normally asked for in school entrances, with the classification on the downloadable specification sheet.
• No trip edge: 8 mm total with a flat 15 mm border and a non-slip backing that grips tiles, vinyl and laminate, or made borderless to drop flush into an existing matwell.
• One design or a whole set: each mat is printed individually, so four house mats in four colours, or a mat per year group or school value, cost the same as four identical mats.
• Free proof, unlimited changes: a designer checks the crest, thickens any fine lettering that would not print cleanly and emails a proof. Nothing is printed until you approve it.
• Purchase orders welcome: order online with a card, or email the PO and we send a pro-forma with the proof. A VAT invoice comes with every order, and multi-academy trusts get trade pricing across their sites.
• Ready for the start of term: made in 5–7 working days from proof approval. A 2–3 working day express service is available: call before you order and we will confirm the date.

Where schools use them

• Main entrance: 85 × 150 cm for a single door, 115 × 180 cm or wider for double doors, crest and school name facing arriving parents.
• Reception and visitor sign-in: the crest in front of the desk, where visitors stand to sign in and every inspector, governor and prospective parent sees it first.
• Hall and sports hall doors: the crest at the hall doors for assemblies, concerts and parents' evenings.
• Corridors and year-group doors: runners up to 650 cm long in one piece, or a set of mats with a house name, value or year group on each.
• Nursery and early years: a bright welcome mat in the nursery's own colours, machine washed weekly.
• Sixth form and college: a larger-format mat at the glass entrance that catches three strides of wet footprints.
• Playground doors, PE block and the nursery gate: use the rubber-backed outdoor logo mat, which has drainage channels, a UV-stable pile and hoses clean.

How it works

1. Choose one of 16 standard sizes, or enter your own up to 200 cm wide and 650 cm long, and tell us whether it sits on the floor or in a matwell.
2. Upload the crest (PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, AI or EPS), pick the mat colour or give us the school's Pantone or HEX reference, and add to basket.
3. Your proof arrives by email within one working day. Approve it, or ask for changes, and we start printing.

Which size do I need?

• 60 × 85 cm: classroom, office and store doors.
• 85 × 150 cm: a single entrance door or a nursery door. Our most popular school size.
• 115 × 180 cm: reception and double doors.
• 115 × 300 cm: a wide entrance, hall doors or a short corridor runner.
• 200 × 200 cm: a square lobby or a sixth-form atrium.
• Custom size: enter your own measurements above. Measure the clear floor space inside the door and leave 5–10 cm on each side. Mats are cut to order, so the finished size can vary by up to 2.5 cm per side.
• Matwell: measure the recess itself, not the doorway, allow for any metal trim, and choose "In a matwell" so we make it without the border.

Ideal for

Primary and secondary schools, academies and multi-academy trusts, independent and prep schools, sixth-form colleges, FE colleges, special schools, nurseries and pre-schools, after-school clubs, PTA fundraising and leavers' gifts.

Washing and care during term time

• Daily: the site team vacuums it with the lobby. A clean mat traps more dirt and keeps its colour longer. Blot spills with clean lukewarm water only, no detergent or stain remover.
• Half term: machine wash on a delicate cycle, low spin, never above 30°C. Wash the mat on its own with no detergent or fabric softener, unfolded, in a machine large enough for the mat.
• Drying: dry flat, out of direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry. Many schools order two and rotate them so one is always down.

Artwork tips for school crests

A vector file (SVG, PDF, AI or EPS) from the school's print or uniform supplier gives the sharpest crest. If you only have a PNG or JPG from the website or a letterhead, send the largest version you have, ideally 1,000 pixels wide or more. Our designers remove white backgrounds, thicken any fine lettering or mottos that would not print cleanly in carpet pile, and match colours as part of the free proof.
