Direct answer
Playing surfaces are a natural next product for a Mahjong brand. The main types are roll-up mats, fitted table covers and rigid table toppers. Each suits a different customer: mats for portability and gifting, covers for players with a regular card table, and toppers for hosts who want a dedicated playing surface. Choose sizes that fit common tables, coordinate designs with your sets, and plan packaging that protects the product and is practical to ship.
Key takeaways
- Measure the tables your customers use and state product dimensions clearly.
- Surface fabric, base material and edge finish affect feel and durability.
- A roll-up mat is usually simplest and pairs with every set.
