Design & Artwork Setup
Artwork Specifications
For optimal results, we recommend a minimum resolution of 150 DPI at actual print size, though 300 DPI is ideal for intricate designs. Ensure your artwork includes a 50mm bleed on all sides to prevent cropping. We accept a variety of formats, including PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, TIFF, and high-resolution JPG. Our UV-resistant inks guarantee vivid colour reproduction, crucial for maintaining brand consistency across multiple transport sites.
Submission Options
Option 1: Upload your print-ready files directly during checkout for files up to 64MB. Larger files can be shared via cloud services like Google Drive or Dropbox.
Option 2: Request a free design consultation if you lack in-house design resources. Our team can help translate your vision into an effective carpet design.
Option 3: For complex projects, our bespoke design services offer tailored solutions to meet specific transport sector requirements, such as wayfinding clarity and safety notices.
