Design & Artwork
Use-Cases for EDUCATION
In educational environments, our custom carpet runners are perfect for entrances, guiding students from the main doors to various parts of the school. Use them in corridors to streamline foot traffic and reduce confusion, or in walkways to connect classrooms with libraries and other key areas. They’re also ideal for event routes, ensuring visitors can easily navigate school events and functions.
Design Specs
Our design specifications include a recommended resolution of at least 150 DPI, with 300 DPI preferred for detailed artwork. We accept vector formats such as AI, EPS, and PDF for logos and text, while high-resolution raster files like PSD and TIFF are suitable for images. Ensure your artwork is in CMYK and include Pantone references for brand-critical colors. Consider bleed and repeat patterns for seamless long-run designs.
Practical Tips
- Place carpet runners in areas where foot traffic naturally converges, such as main corridors and entrances, to maximize visibility and effectiveness.
- Use high-contrast colors and clear fonts to ensure readability, even when viewed quickly by passing students and staff.
- Regularly vacuum and spot-clean carpet runners to maintain their appearance and ensure they remain a functional part of your school’s infrastructure.
Finishing & Safety
Overlock Stitching
Our overlock stitching provides a traditional textile finish that prevents fraying, making it perfect for long-term installations in school corridors and retail-style aisles.
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 ensures that the carpet runner remains securely in place, reducing trip hazards, especially in high-traffic areas like school entrances and busy corridors.
Rubber border cost: £0.75 per running foot • Best for: high-traffic routes, trolley zones, wet-risk areas
