Description
Professional UV Printed Carpet Runners for High-Impact Routes
Printed Today’s UV printed carpet runners turn every corridor, entrance and aisle into a controlled, on-brand route rather than leaving floor space empty. We combine large-format UV printing with robust, rubber-backed construction so your UV printed floor carpet runners deliver guidance, safety and promotion simultaneously.
Moreover, our UV-curable inks produce deep blacks, vivid colours and razor-sharp text that remain stable under heavy footfall and frequent cleaning. As a result, these durable high-resolution UV carpet runners keep their impact far beyond the life of temporary floor stickers or low-grade printed mats. You gain long-lasting printed branding walkway flooring that continues to look sharp even in busy commercial environments.
Because Printed Today handles design checks, print production and finishing under one roof, you benefit from consistent results across single venues and multi-site campaigns. You can roll out standardised artwork to every branch or tailor UV printed carpet runners to specific departments, events or seasonal campaigns without losing brand control.

Designing UV Printed Floor Carpet Runners That Perform
Thoughtful design ensures your UV printed floor carpet runners do much more than fill space. They guide, inform and sell with every metre of artwork.
Branding & Campaign Concepts
Continuous Brand Story: Run logos, patterns and taglines along the full length so customers experience your brand repeatedly as they move. Consequently, recall improves and campaigns feel coherent from entrance to exit.
Wayfinding & Zoning: Use arrows, icons and clear text to mark the path to tills, collections, check-in stations or featured departments. In addition, colour changes along the route can signal category shifts or safety zones.
Event & Launch Walkways: Durable high-resolution UV carpet runners create red-carpet-style approaches for launches, premieres and exhibitions. Sponsors gain high-visibility branding and every photograph taken on the route reinforces the message online.
Retail Storytelling: Segment a long runner into chapters: one part introduces a range, another highlights offers and a final section directs visitors towards purchase points. This approach turns long-lasting printed branding walkway flooring into a guided journey.
Artwork & File Guidelines
Resolution: Work at a minimum of 150 DPI at full size, and choose 300 DPI for photography or intricate patterns. That way, your UV printed runners stay crisp even in high-resolution close-up photos.
File Formats: Supply vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) for logos and core graphics, plus high-resolution raster files (PSD, TIFF, JPG) for images and textures. This blend helps our RIP stage preserve sharp edges and smooth gradients.
Colour Management: Design in CMYK and include Pantone references where brand colours must be exact. Printed Today calibrates UV printers daily so repeat runs of UV printed floor runners match earlier batches.
Studio Support: Our artwork team checks bleed, safe margins, reading direction and panel joins. When something could work better, they suggest improvements before print so you avoid costly re-runs.
Practical Design Considerations
Walking Direction: Place key text to face people as they move into the space, not as they leave it. For example, queue messages should face approaching shoppers near tills.
Legibility: Use strong contrast, clean typefaces and adequate point sizes. People should absorb messages in a glance while walking, so simplicity often converts better than very busy artwork.
Dirt Masking: Darker tones and patterned backgrounds hide scuffs between cleans. As a result, your long-lasting printed branding walkway flooring continues to look professional on busy trading days.
Durable Finishing for High-Traffic UV Carpet Runners
Finishing influences how UV printed Carpet runners behave in real-world conditions. Accordingly, Printed Today offers edge options that support both safety and presentation.
Overlock Stitching
| Finishing Type | Cost per Running Foot | Best Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Overlock Stitching | £0.50 | Indoor carpet runners, premium retail aisles, hotel corridors |
| Anti-Slip Rubber Border | £0.75 | High-traffic walkways, wet areas, safety-critical routes |
Overlock stitching wraps the edges with colour-matched thread, locking fibres in place and preventing fraying. Combined with UV-cured inks, this finish supports long-term use where presentation matters, such as branded corridors, galleries and boutique retail spaces.
Recommended For: Interior routes that double as brand statements, including showrooms, hotel floors and controlled retail aisles.
Anti-Slip Rubber Border
Anti-slip rubber borders introduce a low-profile bevel that reduces trip risk and increases edge grip. This finish works particularly well where trolleys, wheelchairs and cleaning machines pass over UV printed carpet runners throughout the day.
Recommended For: Supermarkets, DIY outlets, transport hubs, arena concourses and any environment where safety and flow sit alongside branding.

UK Production, Express Delivery & UV Quality Control
Printed Today manufactures all UV printed carpet runners in-house within the UK, which keeps turnaround predictable and quality tightly controlled.
Delivery Service Options
Standard Delivery (5 Working Days): Choose this cost-effective option for planned installs, refurbishments and long-term campaigns. You receive full tracking and confirmed delivery windows.
72-Hour Express Delivery: Use this three-day turnaround when dates move forward but you still want UV printed floor carpet runners in place before launch. A 10% surcharge applies to the base print cost.
48-Hour Express Service: This service suits last-minute confirmations that still demand fully branded routes before busy trading days. It adds a 15% surcharge and pushes your job higher in the UV print schedule.
24-Hour Next-Day Delivery: When senior visits, media events or high-profile launches require immediate action, next-day production gives your project priority allocation. A 20% surcharge applies.
Same-Day Collection: In critical cases, you can arrange same-day collection from select UK locations. Approved artwork before 10am usually leads to around 4pm collection, subject to capacity, with a 40% surcharge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are UV printed carpet runners?
A: UV printed carpet runners are long, narrow sections of flooring printed with UV-cured inks that create durable, high-resolution graphics. They guide people through aisles and corridors while promoting your brand, making every route work as both signage and marketing.
Q: Why choose UV printed floor runners instead of standard printed carpets?
A: UV printed floor runners deliver sharper detail, stronger colours and better resistance to fading than many conventional methods. Because the inks cure instantly under UV light, they bond tightly to the surface and withstand heavy traffic, cleaning and daily use.
Q: How much do UV printed runners cost?
A: Pricing for UV printed runners starts at £3.60 per sq ft for most projects between 5.39 and 96.88 sq ft, dropping to £3.40 per sq ft once the area exceeds 96.89 sq ft. Overall cost depends on total square footage, edging choices and the delivery speed you select.
Q: What standard sizes are available?
A: Printed Today offers seven core runner sizes: 1500x600mm, 2000x800mm, 3000x1000mm, 4000x1000mm, 5000x1200mm, 6000x1500mm and 10000x1000mm. In addition, we regularly supply custom UV printed runners that extend well beyond 10m for large routes and long corridors.
Q: Where do durable high-resolution UV runners work best?
A: These durable high-resolution UV runners perform particularly well in supermarkets, DIY stores, fashion retail, hotel corridors, museums, exhibition halls, arenas and transport hubs. They help visitors navigate while keeping brand and campaign messages in view.
Q: Are UV printed runners suitable for busy commercial sites?
A: Yes. We specify materials, backing and edging to suit high-traffic conditions. When you install them correctly and maintain them with regular cleaning, UV printed floor runners handle heavy usage, trolleys and cleaning equipment effectively.
Q: What finishing options are available?
A: You can choose overlock stitching for a textile-style edge or anti-slip rubber borders for safety-focused routes. Both finishes complement long-lasting printed branding walkway flooring and can be standardised across all of your locations.
Q: How do I clean UV printed carpet runners?
A: Vacuum runners frequently, treat spills promptly and use a mild detergent with water for deeper cleaning. Because the inks cure under UV light, they resist fading and lifting when you follow normal commercial cleaning routines.
Q: Can Printed Today help with artwork and layout for UV printed floor runners?
A: Absolutely. Our studio team checks every file, recommends improvements and can build full walkway layouts, including arrows, messaging and zoning. This support ensures your UV printed runners read clearly at walking pace and remain on-brand.
Q: Do you offer UV printed carpet runners for multi-site rollouts?
A: Yes. Printed Today frequently supplies coordinated sets of UV printed floor carpet runners for national chains and venue groups. We store your artwork, agree standard sizes and finishes for each site and apply volume pricing to keep multi-location projects efficient.
