Design & Artwork
Use-Cases for RETAIL
Our custom retail carpet runners are versatile and ideal for various retail settings. They can be used at entrances to welcome customers with your branding, in queue routes to manage customer flow, along corridors to guide visitors, and in promotional areas to highlight special offers. These carpet runners are perfect for creating a seamless customer journey throughout your store.
Design Specs
For optimal results, we recommend a resolution of at least 150 DPI, with 300 DPI preferred for detailed artwork. Acceptable file formats include vector files such as AI, EPS, and PDF, as well as high-resolution raster files like PSD, TIFF, and JPG. Ensure artwork is in CMYK and include Pantone references for brand-critical colours. Provide artwork with bleed to ensure seamless repeat patterns over long runs.
Practical Tips
- Place key branding elements where foot traffic naturally slows, such as near checkout areas or promotional displays.
- Ensure high-contrast colours for readability at a glance, especially in busy walkways.
- Regularly vacuum and spot-clean carpet runners to maintain a professional appearance and extend their lifespan.
Finishing & Safety
Overlock Stitching
Overlock stitching offers a classic textile finish, preventing fraying and providing a softer edge. This finish is ideal for indoor retail environments where aesthetics and comfort are essential.
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 is designed for safety, reducing trip hazards and keeping the carpet runner securely in place. It is especially suitable for areas with high foot traffic and where trolleys or carts are frequently used.
Rubber border cost: £0.75 per running foot • Best for: high-traffic routes, trolley zones, wet-risk areas
