Description
Custom Directional Arrow Carpet Printing
Enhance your WAYFINDING environments with our custom directional arrow carpet printing solutions. These carpets not only guide visitors seamlessly but also integrate with your overall design strategy. Our high-quality materials ensure durability and effective navigation, making them ideal for high-traffic areas.
Design & Artwork Setup
Artwork Specifications
To achieve the best results for your custom carpets, we recommend a minimum resolution of 150 DPI at the actual print size. For intricate details or text-heavy designs, a resolution of 300 DPI is ideal. Ensure your artwork includes a 50mm bleed on all sides to prevent any cropping during production. We accept files in PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, TIFF, and high-resolution JPG formats. Our UV-resistant inks maintain brand consistency across all WAYFINDING sites.
Submission Options
Upload Directly: For smaller files under 64MB, upload your print-ready artwork during checkout. Larger files can be shared via Google Drive, Dropbox, or WeTransfer. Each file undergoes a pre-flight check to ensure it meets our quality standards.
Free Design Support: If you lack design resources, our team can assist. Provide your layout preferences, brand colours, and any logos or images, and we’ll create a design that aligns with your WAYFINDING needs.
Professional Design Services: For complex projects, our designers offer bespoke services to develop high-quality artwork tailored to your specific requirements. This option is perfect for ensuring clarity and consistency in WAYFINDING messaging.
Production, Materials & Performance
Our carpets are crafted with a durable rubber backing that ensures stability and slip resistance, essential for any WAYFINDING operation. The material is moisture-resistant, allowing for easy cleaning and maintenance, which is crucial for high-traffic areas. Additionally, the sound-dampening properties contribute to a quieter environment, enhancing visitor experience.
