A little bit of insight into how the molding process is used to create Enterprise Molded Vinyl Logo Mats:

Sketch 1, below, shows a mat made up of a black layer of vinyl as the base of the mat and a second layer of grey vinyl on top of it. A typical cutting tool represented by the turquoise colored figure shows a full-sized cut into the grey layer of the mat, which is a normal engraving cut, and a "stepped cut" where a significantly small cutting tool has been used to create a much smaller cut only part way down through the grey layer of the mat.
Sketch 1
Sketch 2, below, indicates the way a "full depth cut" reveals the color of the base of the mat, in this case that color is black, and how the color of that base mat will be seen by observers looking down on to the surface of the mat.		Sketch 4 indicates the way a "stepped cut" creates a thin furrow in the top layer of the mat, in this case that layer is grey in color, and how, because there is less light that can illuminate that area of the mat, it will be seen by observers looking down on to the surface of the mat as a somewhat darker grey than the main part of that layer.

Sketch 3, below, shows the brilliant contrast of the color of the base layer, in this case black, as compared to the surface layer, in this case grey, in order to create a clearly visable line pattern.		Sketch 5, below, shows the reduced contrast of the color of the line pattern created by the "stepped cut" etched into the surface layer. The line pattern will be evident though not a pronounced as the line patterns created by full depth cuts.

Please Note: Tooling costs are determined by the amount of time it takes to create the etched designs in the metal tool or tools needed to produce the number of Enterprise Molded Vinyl Logo Mats being made. Each mold can produce from 100 to 125 mats per day, depending on the complexity and size of the mats they will be used to create. When production times need to be shortened, additional molds or cavities can be ordered to increase the number of mats produced per week.
