Use-Cases for TRANSPORT
In the transport sector, our carpet runners are perfect for enhancing station entrances, optimizing queue routes, guiding passengers through corridors, and beautifying walkways. They offer a seamless blend of function and branding, ensuring your space is both navigable and visually appealing.
Design Specs
For optimal results, we recommend a resolution of 150 DPI or higher, with vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) preferred for logos and typography. Ensure your artwork is in CMYK and includes Pantone references for consistent colour reproduction. Consider bleed and repeat patterns for long-run graphics to maintain design integrity.
Practical Tips

- Use high-contrast colours to maintain readability even in busy traffic conditions.
- Regularly clean carpet runners to maintain their appearance and prolong their lifespan, using mild detergents and avoiding harsh chemicals.
