A pickleball paddle has a polymer (PP) honeycomb core about 13–16 mm thick, two carbon-fibre or fibreglass face sheets bonded either side, an edge guard round the rim and a grip wrapped in rubber or PU. The face is the print area: the graphic is printed directly on the face sheet or on a film moulded into it, then a grit layer goes on top. USA Pickleball rules cap paddle length at 17 inches and length plus width at 24 inches, so shapes differ only within that envelope.
Carbon faces (often T300, T700 or raw carbon) feel solid and spin well; fibreglass faces are poppier, cheaper and suit beginners. The real print substrate is composite, not paper; the paper decal on the sample page only simulates the graphic. For short runs of branded gift paddles, makers usually UV-print onto finished blanks rather than moulding new faces.
Direct UV printing gives vivid colour with a white underbase, but the ink can wear after long ball contact; sublimation or film moulded in during pressing lasts longer because the image sits under the surface coat. The grit layer on top darkens and dulls colours slightly. The edge guard has its own colour, so match the artwork to it.
Design on the exact face shape of the blank, keeping an 8–10 mm safe zone inside the rim because the edge guard hides the outermost part; artwork can bleed up to the guard but keep type out of it. Each face is a separate file and front and back can differ; the throat near the handle is narrow and curved, fit only for a small logo. Supply 300 dpi at actual size in the colour mode the maker's UV printer wants.
The all-round shape balances reach and sweet spot, suiting most recreational players and corporate gift paddles that must work for every level.
16 inches (406 mm) is the overall length including the handle, so the face is only about 273 × 197 mm; after the edge guard and safe zone, roughly 250 × 175 mm carries the main art, and the 5.25 inch handle is wrapped in grip, not printed.
On finished paddles the maker UV-prints straight onto the face, which suits small quantities; for large custom orders the graphic is sublimated or moulded in as a film during pressing, which lasts longer.
Graphics on the face are allowed as long as dimensions and surface roughness stay within the rules; paddles for sanctioned events must also be on the approved paddle list.
Carbon faces are stiff with good control and spin, suiting experienced players; fibreglass is poppier, softer on the arm and usually cheaper, suiting beginners and gift paddles.
