Custom Ferry Queue Carpet Printing
Enhance the efficiency and appearance of your ferry terminals with custom ferry queue carpet printing. In the transport sector, maintaining an orderly and visually appealing environment is crucial. Our carpets are designed to guide passengers effectively while reinforcing your brand’s presence. They are ideal for high-traffic areas, providing both durability and aesthetic appeal.
Design & Artwork Setup
Artwork Specifications
For optimal results, ensure your artwork is at least 150 DPI at the actual print size. This resolution guarantees sharp and professional visuals, essential for detailed designs such as logos or wayfinding signage. We recommend using vector formats like AI or EPS for scalability without quality loss. Additionally, include a 50mm bleed on all sides to ensure edge-to-edge printing, preventing any unwanted borders.

Our carpets are crafted with quality materials to withstand the demanding conditions of transport environments. The rubber backing ensures stability and prevents slipping, which is crucial for safety in high-traffic terminal areas.
