Design & Artwork
Use-Cases for WAYFINDING
Custom directional carpet runners are versatile and can be used in various settings. They are perfect for marking entrances and exits, guiding visitors along queue routes, highlighting paths in corridors, and enhancing walkways in retail environments. These carpet runners make navigation intuitive and efficient, ensuring visitors find their way with ease.
Design Specs
Ensure your artwork is ready for print with our design specifications. We recommend a resolution of at least 150 DPI, with 300 DPI for detailed graphics. Use vector formats like AI, EPS, or PDF for logos, and raster files such as PSD or TIFF for images. Submit artwork in CMYK and include Pantone references to maintain colour consistency across long runs and multiple orders.
Practical Tips
- Place key graphics where foot traffic naturally slows, such as near entrances or checkout areas.
- Use high-contrast colours to ensure readability, even in busy or dimly lit environments.
- Regularly clean carpet runners to maintain their appearance, using mild detergent and avoiding harsh chemicals.
Finishing & Safety
Overlock Stitching
Overlock stitching provides a neat, textile-like edge that prevents fraying, making it ideal for long-term installations where aesthetics and durability are key. This finishing is perfect for indoor corridors and retail aisles.
Overlock cost: £0.50 per running foot • Best for: indoor corridors, retail aisles, long-term installs
Anti-Slip Rubber Border
The anti-slip rubber border offers a secure grip, minimizing trip hazards and keeping the carpet runner stable in high-traffic areas. It’s especially useful in zones prone to spills or where trolleys are frequently used.
Rubber border cost: £0.75 per running foot • Best for: high-traffic routes, trolley zones, wet-risk areas
