Design & Artwork
Use-Cases for EDUCATION
Educational environments benefit greatly from custom carpet runners. Use them in school entrances to welcome students, guide them along corridors with directional graphics, enhance walkways with educational motifs, and define reading zones in libraries or classrooms.
Design Specs
Our design process ensures high-quality results. We recommend a minimum resolution of 150 DPI, with 300 DPI preferred for detailed artwork. Acceptable file formats include vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) for logos and high-resolution raster files (PSD, TIFF, JPG) for illustrations. Artwork should be in CMYK, with Pantone references for consistency. Ensure designs allow for repeat patterns and bleed for seamless long-run printing.
Practical Tips
- Consider placement where students naturally gather, such as near bookshelves or reading nooks.
- Ensure readability by using high-contrast colors, especially in busy corridors.
- Maintain cleanliness by vacuuming regularly and using mild detergents for spot cleaning.
Finishing & Safety
Overlock Stitching
Overlock stitching provides a durable and traditional finish, perfect for educational settings where aesthetics and functionality are key. This method helps prevent fraying and adds a soft edge to carpet runners.
Overlock cost: £0.50 per running foot • Best for: indoor corridors, retail aisles, long-term installs
Anti-Slip Rubber Border
The anti-slip rubber border offers a secure finish that minimizes trip hazards, making it ideal for high-traffic educational areas. This finish ensures the carpet runner stays in place, even in bustling school environments.
Rubber border cost: £0.75 per running foot • Best for: high-traffic routes, trolley zones, wet-risk areas
