Complete guide: Ecotat Roll of 30 Surface Protection Sheets 1200mm x 900mm
The ECOTAT set of 30 protective surface sheets, size 1200x900mm, is designed for tattoo artists who want to cover the work bed, countertops, and auxiliary tables quickly and hygienically, without single-use petroleum-based plastic. The sheets are made from corn-starch-based bioplastic (PLA), a compostable alternative to classic plastic sheets. Each sheet is waterproof on one side and absorbent on the other, providing both a liquid barrier and splash absorption during the session. The set comes in a box with a dispensing system, designed for one week of work in an active studio.
How to use
- Pull one sheet from the dispensing box — the dispensing system protects unused sheets from contamination.
- If you want better adhesion to the surface, lightly spray the countertop or work bed with a few drops of water before placing the sheet.
- Place the sheet with the waterproof side toward the surface to be protected, covering the tattoo bed, work counter, or auxiliary table.
- For smaller surfaces (instrument trays, armrests), cut the sheet to the required size — the material does not fray when cut.
- If working on a surface where the sheet might shift, secure the edges with adhesive tape.
- Use each sheet for one client / one session only.
- After the session, fold the sheet with the contaminated side inward and dispose of it according to the studio's waste protocol.
- Disinfect the surface under the sheet before applying a new one for the next client.
Tips from us
- For larger tattoo beds, partially overlap two sheets to avoid leaving uncovered areas.
- Keep the dispensing box in a dry place, away from direct contact with work surfaces, so unused sheets stay clean.
- Pre-cut a few smaller sheets for instrument trays or armrests so you have them handy during the session.
- Always orient the waterproof side toward the surface you are protecting and the absorbent side outward, so the sheet effectively performs its dual function.
- Estimate daily consumption based on the number of clients plus sheets for auxiliary surfaces, so you don't run out mid-schedule.
Warning: ECOTAT sheets are single-use — they are not disinfected or reused, even if they appear clean. They must be changed after each client. A used sheet may come into contact with blood, ink, or other bodily fluids, so it is treated as contaminated waste and disposed of according to the studio's biohazard waste protocol, not with household trash. The sheet protects the work surface but does not replace its disinfection between clients.
Frequently asked questions
What surfaces can I protect with these sheets?▾
Any surface in the work area that can be touched or splashed during the session: the tattoo bed, work table, auxiliary countertops, instrument trays, or armrest. The 1200x900mm size makes it especially suitable for large surfaces like the bed or main countertop.
Can they be disinfected and reused?▾
No. They are single-use sheets — they are thrown away after each client, not disinfected for reuse. The surface underneath is what gets disinfected between sessions, not the sheet.
What sets them apart from classic plastic sheets?▾
They are made from PLA, a corn-starch-based bioplastic, a compostable alternative to classic petroleum-based plastic. Additionally, they have a waterproof side and an absorbent side, a combination that provides both a liquid barrier and splash absorption — unlike a simple plastic sheet, which only prevents liquid from passing through.
Can I cut them if I need a smaller piece?▾
Yes. The sheets can be cut to the desired size for smaller surfaces like instrument trays or armrests, without the material fraying when cut.
How long does a set of 30 pieces last?▾
It depends on how many clients you have and how many surfaces you cover per session, but the set is designed by the manufacturer for one week of work in an active studio.
How do I dispose of used sheets?▾
Fold the sheet with the contaminated side inward and dispose of it along with other contaminated studio waste, according to your biohazard waste protocol — just like any other consumable that has come into contact with blood or bodily fluids.

Frequently Asked Questions What surfaces are protected with ECOTAT sheets? Protect the tattoo bed, work table, auxiliary counters, armrests and any other surface in the work area that may be touched or splashed during the session. Does the 1200x900mm size cover a tattoo bed? Yes, the 120x90cm size comfortably covers the working area of a standard tattoo bed. For larger beds, two partially overlapping sheets can be used. What's the difference from regular sheets? ECOTAT sheets have waterproof material on one side and absorbent on the other. Regular sheets are just plastic without absorption capacity, causing liquids to slide and create mess. How many sheets are used per day? Minimum one sheet per client, plus additional sheets for auxiliary tables. At 3-5 clients per day, consumption is 3-8 sheets depending on studio setup. Does the material resist disinfection solutions? The sheets are single-use so don't require disinfection. Discard after each client and apply a new one. The surface beneath is disinfected between clients. Can they be cut to smaller sizes? Yes, the sheets can be cut to desired size to cover smaller surfaces such as instrument trays or armrests. The material doesn't fray when cut. Are they better than paper towels? Yes, ECOTAT sheets provide a waterproof barrier that paper towels cannot offer. Liquids don't pass through the sheet, completely protecting the surface beneath. How are used sheets disposed of? Used sheets are folded with the contaminated side inward and disposed of in the yellow medical waste bag. They are treated as any other contaminated medical waste. Can they be fixed to the work surface? Yes, sheets can be fixed with adhesive tape at corners or edges to prevent shifting. Some artists leave them loose for quick folding and replacement. Is the 30-piece set enough for one week? For a studio with one artist at 3-5 clients per day using one sheet per client, the 30-piece set covers approximately one working week. Regular ordering is recommended.
