Printed Carpet
Get your own rolls of carpet printed with your custom designs. We can even cut to your required shape and match colours to your specific requirements.
Using printed carpets instead of hard floors helps to create a luxurious, welcoming feel under-foot. Use carpet when you are aiming to create a warmer environment for your visitors.
The carpet is backed with a textured rubber to give a slip-resistant finish, making it easier to self-install at exhibitions and other temporary locations. Take a look at photos for some inspiration!
Roll widths are up to 1.6 metres.
(Includes: Full colour digitally printed carpet with slip-resistant backing, supplied in rolls. Price is per square metre, or part thereof.)
Printed carpet is specifically designed for shorter-term applications rather than being a permanent solution. You can expect around 15 days of usage on an exhibition stand with medium to high foot traffic before you notice signs of wear.
For typical exhibition booths and other temporary usage occasions, you can typically self-install the carpet by simply unrolling it and moving it into position. We supply it with a removable adhesive carpet tape so it hold well in position but does not leave a residue after removal.
As the carpet surface is textured it means it does not offer the same level of print resolution as other print styles on smooth surfaces, such as a glossy magazine. This means it is not suited to small text or intricate artwork. We recommend a minimum text size of 20mm.
Note for flooring applications this is entirely acceptable as the viewing distance - which would typically be the height of a person - is greater.
As the carpet is printed with dye submination print technology the ink is embedded into the fibres of the carpet, giving you high levels of colour vibrancy.
Printed carpet is supplied in a roll, with a grey slip-resistant textured backing. Maximum roll width is 1550mm wide (1.55 metres) and maximum length is 4 metres. Thickness is 4mm.
Weight of the carpet is 900GSM, which means 0.9kg per square metre.
Carpet surface is 100% polyester, and is printed using dye sublimation technology.
Artwork can be supplied directly by you or your graphic designer, or if you prefer we have an in-house graphic design department to prepare your print-ready artwork.

For general instructions regarding file formats, artwork set-up, bleeds, and options for sending us artwork please be sure to review our artwork file specifications before preparing your print files.
Note printed carpet is a heavily textured surface, meaning print resolution is low in comparison to other items you may print on. For this reason it is important to use text that is at least 25mm in size so as to be clearly readable, and avoid the use of detailed or intricate images.
Standard production lead time for Printed Carpet is 1.5 weeks. This time is calculated from when you place your order and print-ready artwork has been prepared.
