High Quality and Experience.

These aren’t just empty words, it’s backed by our involvement in the industry for over 20 years and we have evolved our stubby holders to what it is now.

It has top and bottom overlocking, comes with tape and stitched seam for structural integrity (more durable than double-stitching) and a hand-glued base.

Our very own stubby holders are made from premium neoprene rubber. Polyester is laminated on both sides to let your design shine. The natural insulating properties neoprene means it'll keep your drinks cold instead of your hands.

Of course you can! We take pride in providing a platform to create customised products and it gives us immense joy seeing the amazing artworks created!

You can upload your own design easily here on the Custom Builds page.

Unfortunately we do not offer customised tape colours,. Our standard tape colour is black.

Yes! Our stubby holders have a hand-glued base.
The base is glued on... by hand... every single one of them.

Unfortunately we do not offer this range. All our stubby holders include a base.

We proudly manufacture your orders out of Sydney with a committed local production team. As an Australian owned and operated company, we believe in Australian made products so we can bring your order right to your door a lot quicker than manufacturing overseas. Why wait when we can make it here!

We do also have the ability to source from overseas and usually take this route for large quantities especially for events and brand activations. We predominantly aim to keep our stubby holders Australian Made.

Unfortunately we do not offer samples. When your order is placed on the website (and if there are no artwork issues), we take it straight to mass production.

It's all about passing on the savings and value to you.

If we made less than 10 stubby holders per design, our costs in production and time would be so high that it would equate to an order of 10 units. This would make the price for 1-9 stubby holders very expensive! We wouldn't want to pass that cost on to you.

Stubbs & Mattee bar mat size is considered the standard in the market. It's made from high-quality rubber with a super absorbent felt top layer.

We have supplied many major bars and clubs for over a decade.

We offer only one size: 893mm (W) x 244mm (H).

This is the most standard size in the market.

Yes they are! We've spilt beer and wine before... so glad a bar mat was there to save the day!

Yes. The top surface is made out of premium felt which can absorb liquids very well.

We strongly advise to only use the bar mats on clean tables and countertops. Using the bar mats as floor mats is dangerous as it may slide and cause injury.

However, feel free to hang your favourite bar mat on the wall as a nice piece of decoration :)

IMPORTANT TIP:We strongly recommend saving your artwork in the correct dimensions and resolution as a JPG first, then placing only this JPG into our template before saving the EPS file (and hiding all guides). This would eliminate layering issues that may occur in the blending of colours and broken graphic elements in the artwork. These issues usually occur in complex artworks with a lot of objects and transparency effects.

When you use the Custom Builds feature to create your own product, there will be a red dotted line box on the preview. This is the basic guidelines to show you where the critical area of the artwork is. The critical area is where important parts of your design like text, phone numbers, logos should stay within.


The "Basic guidelines" is selected by default in the Artwork Guidance dropdown menu.

Select "Detailed guidelines" to view all the other guides to check if your artwork follows the guide lines and instructions shown.

It doesn't matter which option you select as these guides will not be printed on your product.

We sure do!

Our team can help check your artwork file so you can upload it successfully. If you'd like us to check your artwork file first, please send us the link to your file, or we can provide you with a Dropbox link where you can upload your file to.

Unfortunately we don’t.

Please note the difficulties of colour matching:

  • Monitors vary and in turn, the colours displayed from one monitor will vary to another as well.
  • Monitors display colour in RGB but printing uses CMYK colour mode.
  • All printers are different, so if you have something that needs to be EXACTLY matched, our printer and ink will be different and this is a factor why it can’t be replicated.

What you see on your screen will always be slightly different to the physical printed product.
