Case Study | Mackay Marina
When Mackay Marina approached us with a highly specific brief, we knew this project would require precision, durability, and flawless visual execution. They needed a 2m x 30m SpiralLoop Inlay Logo Mat, created in one seamless piece, and built to perform in a harsh marine environment while showcasing their branding with clarity.
The Customer Challenge
Situated on the Queensland coast, Mackay Marina faces daily exposure to sun, salt, and water. Their mat needed to:
-
Be manufactured in a single 30-metre length to create a continuous, uninterrupted walkway
-
Allow water to flow through freely, avoiding pooling and preventing a slip risk
-
Provide superior UV resistance, essential for an outdoor installation exposed to intense sun
-
Offer non-slip performance, improving safety for visitors and staff
-
Display their logo and colours accurately, maintaining brand integrity despite the heavy-duty environment
This wasn’t just a decorative mat—it was a functional, long-lasting solution for a high-traffic, high-exposure location.

Our Solution: SpiralLoop Inlay Logo Mat (Unbacked)
To meet all of the Marina’s requirements, we recommended our SpiralLoop Inlay Logo Mat (unbacked). This product’s unique construction and customisable features made it the perfect match.
Why SpiralLoop Was Ideal
-
Unbacked design allows water, sand and debris to pass through, keeping the mat dry and safe
-
UV-stable materials ensure colours stay vibrant even under constant sunlight
-
Anti-slip surface texture gives secure footing—critical around wet areas
-
Inlay logo technique ensures sharp, long-lasting branding that won’t wear off
-
Custom sizing capability, enabling us to manufacture the entire 30m length as one continuous piece
The result was a striking, durable mat that flowed seamlessly along the Marina walkway while proudly showcasing their brand.

The Outcome
When the team at Mackay Marina received their custom 2m x 30m logo mat, they were thrilled with the quality, workmanship and visual impact. The mat performed exceptionally in its outdoor environment and exceeded expectations in both appearance and functionality.
They were so impressed, in fact, that they ordered a second mat.

Final Thoughts
This project highlights what’s possible when innovative materials meet precise custom manufacturing. Mackay Marina needed a mat that could withstand a harsh coastal environment without compromising safety or aesthetics—our SpiralLoop Inlay Logo Mat delivered exactly that.

Testimonial
Hi Craig,
Just a quick note to thank you and the team at The Mat Group for the great service and fantastic product.
We were looking for an outdoor logo branded mat solution for our floating docks and your SpiralLoop Inlay Logo Mat ticked all of the boxes.
Personally, I appreciated the flexibility of being able to order one mat first to be sure we were happy with how it performed before ordering a second mat. The first mat arrived and we didn’t hesitate for a second to order another mat.
Our members and guests are now greeted with professional looking docks represented with our logo and corporate colours.
Thanks again, I would highly recommend your services.
Kind Regards
Shane May
