Rug Pads for Rug Retailers
Cut-to-order pads convert a back-room labor cost into a line item that ships itself.
Short answer
Rug Pads for Rug Retailers
Rug retailers attach a pad to nearly every rug sale, and cutting those pads in-house consumes back-room space and staff hours. UnderItAll cuts each pad to the sold rug's dimensions and perforates the edges, so a retailer can drop-ship an install-ready pad with the rug instead of maintaining a roll inventory and a cutting table.
What gets in the way
The problems this actually solves.
Roll inventory ties up capital and floor space
Storing multiple thicknesses in full rolls means carrying inventory you cut into scrap.
Cutting is a labor line nobody accounts for
Staff time spent measuring and cutting felt is time not spent on the sales floor.
Offcuts are pure waste
Every custom cut from a roll leaves remnants too small to sell and too large to throw away without noticing.
What changes
What an install-ready pad gives back.
No cutting table required
Pads arrive cut to the rug you sold. Reclaim the back room.
Higher attach rate, cleaner margin
A pad that ships install-ready with the rug is an easier add at the register.
Same-day cut and ship
Pads keep pace with rug delivery instead of holding it up.
No scrap
Cut to order means you are not paying to dispose of remnants.
The pad itself
Keep it simple with two thicknesses
Luxe 1/4" and Luxe Lite 1/8". Two options, one decision.
Rapid Relax for a smooth install
Rolled or folded, the pad lays flat in no time.
Pretty grippy, latex-free backing
Daisy Grip locks the rug down, latex-free, no residue.
100% post-recycled felted fibre
100% post-recycled felt. Cut to order, so no remnants.

Answers
Rug Retailers: frequently asked questions
The answers this audience asks for most, with links to the detail behind each one.
Can rug pads be custom cut?
Yes. Every UnderItAll pad is cut to order at the dimensions you provide, then perforated in 2-inch increments for final adjustment. There is no stock-size compromise and no in-store cutting table involved.
Can pads be drop shipped to my customer?
Yes. Retailers and designers routinely have pads shipped directly to the end client or the job site, arriving install-ready so nobody at the destination needs a tool to finish the job.
Who qualifies for the UnderItAll trade program?
Interior designers, design firms, architects and specifiers, rug and furniture retailers, showrooms, hospitality and contract designers, and flooring professionals. Approval requires business credentials such as a resale certificate or professional registration.
How fast do custom-cut rug pads ship?
Pads are cut and shipped the same or next business day, and typically arrive in one to three days. Because manufacturing and cutting happen in the same domestic facility, custom sizing does not add a lead-time penalty.
Why use a custom-cut rug pad instead of cutting from a roll?
Cutting from a roll costs labor, produces scrap you pay to dispose of, and rarely yields a straight edge on felt. A custom-cut pad arrives at the right size with a factory edge, and the 2-inch perforations still allow field adjustment.
