Revealed: China’s Car Mat Manufacturer Gluebar’s Full Production Process and Custom Branding Power!

Jul 17, 2025

In today’s competitive car mat market, your logo builds trust and loyalty with dealers and end users. Gluebar uses custom metal nameplate logos to help partners create a one-of-a-kind brand identity. Now, we’ll walk you through the manufacturing evolution and core production strengths behind it.

1. The Value of Custom Metal Nameplate Logos

Boosts Brand Recognition

Metal nameplates feel more premium than stamped logos. You can pop them on and off the mat’s front, back, or side to keep your brand in the spotlight.

Strengthens Dealer Identity

For dealers, a custom nameplate on the mat is like a window decal. It tells customers, “This is our product,” and builds loyalty.

Sets You Apart

In a sea of similar mats, a metal nameplate logo stands out in the details and gives you a high‑end, custom look.

2. From Stamping to Snap‑In: Upgrading the Logo Process

Old Method: Stamping

We used to press text or designs into the TPE surface. It was cheap and easy but felt flat and could wear off over time.

New Method: Metal Nameplate Customization

Material: Made from aluminum or stainless steel, with an anodized or plated finish for scratch and corrosion resistance.

Installation: We leave a slot in the mat during molding. The nameplate just snaps in—no extra tools needed.

Easy Swapping: Dealers can swap plates for new marketing campaigns, car models, or seasons, keeping their branding fresh.

3. Manufacturing Upgrade: One-Step Heat Press Molding

Compared with Injection Molding, Thermoforming process costs way less

Injection molding needs expensive molds and machines. Thermoforming process costs way less and short delivery time.

Thermoforming One-Step Heat Press Process


  • CNC Mold
  • Heat Press: At 160℃ and 8 MPa for 45 seconds.
  • Edge Trimming: keep the mat perfect fit.
  • This Thermoforming process cost less and make sure quick delivery.


4. Product Strategy and Future Plans

Core Focus

We currently focus on two product lines: one-step molded TPE all weather mats and custom metal nameplates. We don’t introduce new processes or materials without clear purpose.

Cautious Growth

New items such as injection-molded mats will be launched under separate product lines to ensure a clean and manageable portfolio.

Market Check

Before implementing new technologies or materials, we evaluate market demand and cost to avoid confusion or internal strain.
