Custom Rail Aisle Carpet Printing
Enhance the aesthetics and functionality of your railway interiors with custom rail aisle carpet printing.

Design & Artwork Setup
Artwork Specifications
To achieve the best results for your full printed carriage carpets, we recommend a minimum resolution of 150 DPI at actual print size, with 300 DPI preferred for optimal clarity. Ensure a 50mm bleed on all sides to accommodate edge-to-edge designs. We accept PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, TIFF, and high-resolution JPG formats. Our UV train interior flooring technology ensures vibrant, long-lasting colours, crucial for brand consistency across multiple TRANSPORT sites.
Submission Options
1. Upload your print-ready artwork during checkout for files up to 64MB. For larger files, use cloud services like Google Drive or Dropbox.
2. Request a complimentary design consultation if you lack in-house resources. Our team will help translate your vision into a professional design.
3. Opt for our bespoke design services for complex projects requiring original creative work or high-resolution recreation.
These options help ensure clarity in wayfinding and communicate essential hygiene messaging across TRANSPORT environments.
