No, I'm just worried that that design might be too busy and distracting during a game. But it's completely up to you of course.Sorry, new the forum and was unsure how everything worked. I apologize that you had to look at multiple posts from me.

Oh...I gotcha! I actually stole that design from one that he had previously done. And just put our poker groups name on it. I actually haven't even thought about that. Good catch. Got me second guessing myself now!No, I'm just worried that that design might be too busy and distracting during a game. But it's completely up to you of course.
Rjdev7 I sent you a pm. Also for those of us without adobe illustrator, how do we layout a custom topper?
You should be able to use Inkscape to generate SVG files. It's a free download and I have been playing around with it to design a new mat for myself. I have also found that ChatGPT can provide some very good suggestions for color combinations and choices, specifically for designs that will be printed on neoprene (which is what I believe RJ's toppers are).Rjdev7 I sent you a pm.

No worries. Look forward to your reply.I see everything. Including this reminder of a message I saw. Lol sorry, I just respond in the order things come in so I’m being fair. My backlog sucks, I apologize!
All good, Ill hear from you soonI see everything. Including this reminder of a message I saw. Lol sorry, I just respond in the order things come in so I’m being fair. My backlog sucks, I apologize!
I am obviously a noob here, but would doing batch orders like once a month be more helpful for you? Not as a discounted/group buy, just streamline the process.I see everything.

Unfortunately no. If PCF was full of people that knew exactly what they wanted, and were ok with zero revisions, it would work. That being said, to build great products and ensure mats look amazing when they show up, I sometimes need to do multiple rounds of back and forth hence the delays. Having the "initial" requests in a form isn't what would solve it.I am obviously a noob here, but would doing batch orders like once a month be more helpful for you?

You could setup a Microsoft Form to gather folks info/order requests and have a pay by date/payment information for those that are ordering the normal toppers that have current designs.
Your custom work would still need direct interaction, but this would probably clean up the 5000 PMs you get every month.

I have about 20 PMs in backlog so I'm not that far from catching up.
Hey! I was wondering if you offer shipping to Canada. I would love to get one of your toppersI'm excited to announce a partnership with a new vendor who will be able to supply made-to-order table toppers to the US and Europe.
All existing stock designs and sizes (including those compatible with the Barrington / ESPN oval tables) that have been previously offered are available, and will arrive within a time period of approximately 3-4 weeks from the time of purchase.
These can be ordered in any shape or size up to a max length of 114” and a max width of 48".
A few considerations:
To place an order, please PM me with the description of the design & the dimensions of the topper you would like.
- Thickness: The thickness of these toppers is 2mm.
If you're using these directly on a dining table, it is advised to get some closed cell foam or other method of padding (read through the thread for examples of what folks have used successfully) to put under the toppers.
Possible Solution: "Blank" toppers (empty / no print) can be purchased as the same size as your topper for 30% discount. This would allow you to use it as padding underneath your topper if you feel 2mm is not thick enough. You could also buy two printed toppers and put one under the other.- Quality: The print quality and quality control (e.g. dimension accuracy to 1/2") are better than the vendor I was using in China for the bulk orders. The colors are very vibrant, with little bleed, and the dimensions are more precise.
- Sewn Edges: It's possible to have sewn edges for a small added fee. Take this for what it's worth, but if you're using these toppers to fit within an existing table like a Barrington, an ESPN table, or some other existing table, I would recommend NOT doing edge stitching as the look is much cleaner than having the edges showing around the inside of the rails on the table
- Shape: There's no restriction on shapes. For instance, you can do round / circle toppers, rectangle toppers, octagon, ellipse, oval toppers, etc.
- Size: The new vendor supports any topper up to a maximum length of 114" and maximum width of 48"
- Price
Un-sewn Edges: $135 shipped for standard sizes**
Sewn Edges: $145 shipped for standard sizes**
** Size Premium: There will be a $2.50 per square foot premium for toppers that exceed the standard Barrington dimensions (73.5 x 31.5) which I will calculate at the time of order.
Custom Art: Custom designs will come at a $10-50 premium depending on the extent of customization required. Payment for the topper + custom designs will be required before designs take place. If there is a change of heart and you do not look to purchase the topper after seeing the designs, I will refund you the amount minus my design fee.
Here is a blank template in Adobe Illustrator if anyone would like to design your own art and send to me.
If you have questions, feel free to respond here so my answers are seen by all. Thank you!
Here’s a video showing how well cards slide on the toppers:
I know you're behind on requests, but just want to make sure you received my DM from last month (just "bumped" it).I have about 20 PMs in backlog so I'm not that far from catching up.
After 3 Postings in threads you can write DM's.when I am able to DM,
Thanks!After 3 Postings in threads you can write DM's.![]()
