Design & Artwork Setup
Artwork Specifications
To ensure optimal results, we recommend a minimum resolution of 150 DPI at actual size, with 300 DPI preferred for intricate designs. Files should include a 50mm bleed on all sides to prevent cropping. We accept PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, TIFF, and high-resolution JPG formats. For consistent branding across WAYFINDING sites, Pantone matching is available upon request.
Submission Options
1. Upload your print-ready files during checkout for sizes up to 64MB. For larger files, use Google Drive, Dropbox, or WeTransfer.
2. Request free design consultation if you lack in-house resources. Provide your specifications, and our team will assist with creating effective WAYFINDING signage.
3. Opt for bespoke design services for complex projects. Our professionals can develop unique artwork tailored to your WAYFINDING operations.
Production, Materials & Performance
Our carpets are constructed with durable materials and a rubber backing that ensures stability and slip resistance, crucial for WAYFINDING environments. They are designed to withstand high foot traffic while maintaining their vibrant appearance. Cleaning is straightforward, as the rubber layer prevents moisture absorption, making them ideal for maintaining hygiene in public areas.
Sector-Specific Use Cases for WAYFINDING
- Directing foot traffic in corporate lobbies
- Enhancing safety in retail entryways
- Providing clear directional signage in hospitals
- Organizing visitor flow at exhibitions
- Marking evacuation routes in public buildings
- Guiding attendees at large conference venues
Turnaround & Delivery (UK)
Our standard production timeline ensures that your carpets are ready within five working days from design approval. We offer various expedited delivery options to accommodate urgent WAYFINDING needs.
Proofing and Approval
We provide digital proofs for review, allowing you to request modifications to align with your WAYFINDING objectives. Final approval is required before production begins.
Quality Control
- Preflight checks for resolution and colour accuracy
- Daily colour calibration for consistent output
- Mid-print inspections for design placement accuracy
- Final checks for print quality and edge finishing
- Rolled packaging to prevent transit damage
- Tracking numbers provided upon dispatch

Finishing/Edging Options
We offer two finishing options to suit different WAYFINDING settings:
