Description
Custom rug printing (your design)
Bring your brand, artwork, or pattern to life with Custom Printed Carpet Rugs manufactured in-house for consistent colour control and dependable finish quality. Because this is custom production, you control the visuals—logos, gradients, photography, patterns, wayfinding, or event messaging—while we handle print accuracy, trimming, and professional presentation for printed carpet rugs that look intentional rather than “off the shelf”.
Artwork setup (specs that prevent surprises)
Recommended resolution: 150 DPI minimum at final size. For fine detail, gradients, or photography, 300 DPI produces the cleanest result.
Accepted files: PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, TIFF, high-resolution JPG. Vector files are ideal for logos because they scale cleanly.
Bleed: Add 50mm bleed on every edge for full-coverage designs. This protects your layout during trimming, especially on larger carpet rugs.
Proofing: A digital proof is supplied to confirm size, placement, and layout. Production begins only after approval, reducing risk on customisable rugs and large-format jobs.
Custom sizes and shapes
Choose a standard rectangle, build a runner, or request a statement format—either way, your custom carpet rug is produced to fit the space you actually have. In addition, custom dimensions are available up to 5000mm in either direction, which is particularly useful for open-plan rooms, long walkways, and wide front-of-house areas where “near enough” sizing never looks right.
| Popular format | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Rectangle | Living rooms, retail floors, front-of-house | Most common choice for printed carpet rugs; easiest to align with furniture |
| Runner | Hallways, aisles, long zones | Great for branding strips, directional messaging, and high-traffic routes |
| Square | Feature areas, seating clusters | Works well for centred logos or symmetrical patterns |
| Round | Statement pieces, display zones | Ideal for a custom round rug; allow safe margins for circular trimming |
How pricing is calculated
Pricing is based on square footage, so the most efficient approach is to size the rug to the usable zone rather than oversizing “just in case”. Consequently, larger custom rug orders benefit from better value per square foot as overall coverage increases.
| Square Footage Range | Price per sq ft |
|---|---|
| 0 – 0.67 sq ft | £35.73 |
| 0.68 – 1.34 sq ft | £19.64 |
| 1.35 – 2.69 sq ft | £10.87 |
| 2.70 – 5.38 sq ft | £7.09 |
| 5.39 – 10.76 sq ft | £3.60 |
| 10.77 – 108 sq ft | £3.60 |
| 108.01 – 140 sq ft | £3.40 |
| 140+ sq ft | £3.40 |
Minimum order: 0.67 square feet. Volume discounts apply automatically when your total coverage increases.
Standard sizes and express delivery pricing
If you want a fast benchmark before choosing bespoke dimensions, these standard options cover most common room and commercial layouts. After that, you can switch to custom sizing without changing your artwork approach.
| Size Description | Dimensions | Sq Ft | Standard | Express 72hr | Express 48hr | Express 24hr | Same Day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compact Feature Rug | 1000 x 1000 mm | 10.76 | £38.74 | £42.61 | £44.55 | £46.49 | £54.24 |
| Large Living Area Rug | 2000 x 1000 mm | 21.53 | £77.51 | £85.26 | £89.14 | £93.01 | £108.51 |
| Open-Plan Zone Rug | 3000 x 2000 mm | 64.58 | £232.49 | £255.74 | £267.36 | £278.99 | £325.49 |
| Statement Room Rug | 4000 x 3000 mm | 129.17 | £439.18 | £483.10 | £505.06 | £527.02 | £614.85 |
| Oversized Feature Rug | 5000 x 3000 mm | 161.46 | £548.96 | £603.86 | £631.31 | £658.75 | £768.54 |
Express surcharges: 72hr (+10%), 48hr (+15%), 24hr (+20%), Same Day (+40%). Shape complexity (for example, a custom round rug) may require additional trim time—if so, we’ll flag it during proofing.
Outdoor and round carpet rugs (custom)
One of the strongest advantages of custom production is flexibility. For example, custom outdoor rugs are popular for hospitality terraces, branded activations, and seasonal spaces because the rubber-backed construction stays practical in mixed-use environments. Similarly, a custom round rug creates an immediate focal point in lounges, display zones, or centre-of-room layouts where rectangles can feel too rigid. In both cases, the artwork rules remain the same: clean files, correct bleed, and proof approval before printing begins.
Edging options for a cleaner finish
Edging helps your carpet rugs hold their shape and look finished at the edges, especially when moved regularly or placed in busy environments.
| Edging Type | Cost per Running Foot | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| Overlock Stitching | £0.50 | Clean stitched border for everyday indoor use and frequent handling |
| Anti-Slip Rubber Border | £0.75 | Extra edge stability and safer transitions for busy, high-footfall areas |
Bulk savings (the more coverage, the better the rate)
When you’re ordering multiple printed carpet rugs for a brand rollout, an event, or multi-room fitting, the savings become meaningful because the rate improves as total square footage rises.
| Example size | Qty | Total Sq Ft | Rate/Sq Ft | Total Price | Per Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1000 x 1000mm (10.76 sq ft) | 1 | 10.76 | £3.60 | £38.74 | £38.74 |
| 1000 x 1000mm (10.76 sq ft) | 20 | 215.2 | £3.40 | £731.68 | £36.58 |
| 2000 x 1000mm (21.53 sq ft) | 5 | 107.65 | £3.60 | £387.54 | £77.51 |
| 3000 x 2000mm (64.58 sq ft) | 2 | 129.16 | £3.40 | £439.14 | £219.57 |
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What files do you need for a custom rug?
A: We accept PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, TIFF, and high-resolution JPG. Vector files are best for logos. Aim for 150 DPI at final size (300 DPI for detailed artwork). Add 50mm bleed on all sides for edge-to-edge designs, and include any Pantone references if colour accuracy is critical.
Q: Do you send a proof before printing?
A: Yes. We provide a digital proof showing layout, scale, and placement. You can request adjustments, and production starts only after approval—this is especially important for custom carpet rug orders, shaped pieces, and large printed carpet rugs.
Q: Can you do custom sizes and a custom round rug?
A: Yes. You can enter bespoke width and height up to 5000mm in either direction. Round formats are also available; during proofing we confirm safe margins so key design elements remain clear after circular trimming.
Q: Are custom outdoor rugs possible?
A: Yes. The same custom print approach works for outdoor-facing uses, particularly for branded terraces, pop-ups, and seasonal spaces. If you have a specific exposure scenario, share the details and we’ll recommend the best finish and edging choice.
Q: How do I avoid pixelation on printed carpet rugs?
A: Start with the correct file type and resolution. Use vector artwork for logos where possible, keep fine text large enough to read at distance, and choose 300 DPI for photography. If your file is borderline, our team will flag it during pre-flight checks before you approve the proof.
