    The short answer

    Custom Branded Mats Africa manufactures in South Africa and supplies businesses across the SADC region, including Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Mozambique and Eswatini. South African orders are priced in Rand at R1,500 per square metre and paid online through PayFast. Zimbabwean orders are priced in USD with EcoCash, USD cash or collection from the Harare store on Cameron Street. Cross-border orders move by road freight after the digital proof is approved and the order is settled.

    One factory, one specification, many countries

    Every mat is made to the same specification regardless of destination: 100% nitrile rubber backing, high-twist nylon pile, UV-stable and washable, sized to the millimetre. What changes across borders is how you pay, how the order travels and how long it takes to arrive.

    How a cross-border order runs

    • Size the mat in millimetres and upload your logo in the online designer, or send the dimensions directly to the sales desk.
    • Receive a formal quotation showing the area, the rate and the total in your currency.
    • Approve the digital proof showing your logo on the exact mat dimensions.
    • Settle the order — online for South Africa, or by EcoCash, USD or transfer for regional markets.
    • Manufacturing runs 7-10 working days, then the consignment is dispatched with the documentation the border post requires.

    Zimbabwe buyers

    Zimbabwean customers can be quoted in USD, pay by EcoCash or USD cash, and collect from the Harare store on Cameron Street instead of waiting for a delivery. Ask the sales desk on WhatsApp for the current collection times.

    What affects the regional lead time

    Manufacturing time is the same everywhere. The variable is the road leg and the border. Plan for the 7-10 working day production window plus transit, and place orders for a fixed event date with slack in hand rather than at the last minute.

    Why buying from a manufacturer helps across a border

    A reseller adds a margin and a handover, and every extra handover across a border adds delay and a point where information is lost. Ordering directly from the factory means one specification, one proof, one invoice and one consignment.
