Description
Custom Rail Zone Carpet Printing
Enhance your custom rail zone carpet printing with our bespoke solutions designed specifically for the transport sector. Our carpets are crafted to meet the unique needs of transport environments, ensuring durability and aesthetic appeal. From rail stations to transport hubs, these carpets provide not only functional flooring but also act as a medium for brand reinforcement and wayfinding.
Design & Artwork Setup
Artwork Specifications
Our custom rail zone carpet printing requires a minimum resolution of 150 DPI at full size to ensure clarity and precision. For projects involving detailed graphics or text, we recommend 300 DPI. Please include a 50mm bleed on all sides to prevent cropping of essential design elements. We accept files in PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, TIFF, and high-resolution JPG formats. To maintain brand consistency across multiple transport sites, we offer Pantone matching for precise colour reproduction.
Submission Options
1. Upload your print-ready artwork directly through our website for files up to 64MB. For larger files, share via cloud services like Google Drive or Dropbox.
2. Request a free design consultation if you need assistance. Our team will help create a layout that incorporates your branding and safety messaging effectively.
3. Engage our bespoke design services for complex projects needing original creative work or high-resolution recreations. This is ideal for transport settings where clear wayfinding and hygiene messaging are crucial.
Production, Materials & Performance
Our carpets are constructed with a robust rubber backing that ensures stability and safety in high-footfall transport environments. The UV-printed surface offers vibrant and long-lasting colours, making it suitable for both indoor and sheltered outdoor areas. Importantly, the rubber backing provides excellent grip, reducing the risk of slips and falls, which is vital in busy transport settings. Additionally, the carpets are moisture-resistant, allowing for easy cleaning and maintenance.

Turnaround & Delivery (UK)
Our standard production timeline ensures your carpets are ready within five working days from artwork approval. For urgent requirements, we offer expedited services to align with critical transport project deadlines.
