Just out of curiosity, why blanks?
Are you eventually looking to get these printed yourself?
I'd look to wholesales for the blank material... Most of this stuff is imported these days as very little is still being produced in the US. It literally comes by the roll! :)
We sell the
mouse pads printed, just not blank in the price or quantity you require. I bet you can find them though, depending on the size and thickness of the pad we can produce them PRINTED for $.65 each, so there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to buy them blank for this price.
The only challenge maybe, most pads are die cut out of the roll after being printed, so finding these many blanks lying around might be tough.
Also, no matter what don't go with the 1/16" thickness, it's super cheap and no one likes it. I recommend at least 1/8", preferably 1/4".
