The white one I have with Red markings says Salem, made in USA.. it is very old so I don't know where I bought it.
If there was an inexpensive way to send it to you and keep in flat, I would.,
Good luck in your search.

Alvin mats are a frosty clear with blue lines. I love mine, maybe you will, too.

Will the white mats really dull my blade faster? My Dritz white mat is really large so I don't get it out all the time and use my smaller green one. I hadn't noticed a difference.

I only use the markings on the cutting mats to help line other markings up or a quick measure but not a precise measure!

Don't know about dulling your cutter quicker, but I HATE those large white mats that are sold at JoAnn's. They are not self healing. Fabric is easily embedded in the cuts. I have one and now just use it as protection on my table.

I have a big white dritz mat too and I don't use it. I should just get rid of it.

Just an update since this morning's communication. I have purchased a Fiskar's double sided 24"x36" from an Amazon affiliated store. It is a lime/light green one side and cream/lemon or yellow on the reverse.

It looks like it will fit the bill for my needs. Sorted.

Thanks for the new info. Most of the ones you suggested are not available in this country, which is unfortunate. I can't imagine a board getting successfully shipped from USA and it arriving in England undamaged.

I really like my fiskars mats. In fact, other than the big dritz one all I buy are fiskars.
