Design & Artwork Setup
Artwork Specifications
For optimal results in transport environments, ensure your artwork meets the following specifications. A resolution of at least 150 DPI at actual print size is necessary, with 300 DPI recommended for detailed designs. Full CMYK colour gamut is supported, ensuring vivid reproduction of transport branding. Include a 50mm bleed on all sides to prevent cropping of essential design elements like wayfinding icons or safety messages.

2. Free Design Assistance: If you need help with design, our team offers complimentary support. Provide your brand colours, logos, and any specific transport-related messaging for accurate translation into a functional design.
3. Bespoke Design Services: For complex transport projects, our professional designers can create custom artwork, ensuring brand consistency across multiple transport sites.
Production, Materials & Performance
Our carpets are constructed with a robust rubber backing, ideal for the heavy footfall typical in transport settings. This material ensures slip resistance and stability, crucial for passenger safety in busy areas. Moreover, the carpets are easy to clean, maintaining hygiene standards essential for public transport zones. Their UV resistance ensures long-lasting colour vibrancy, even in areas exposed to sunlight.
