Artwork Guide

 

File Formats

We can accept files in the following formats:

JPG, GIF, PNG, PDF, AI (Illustrator CS2 or below), or EPS. Please zip AI or EPS files if you're uploading through the order form.

Please note that if sending a JPG or GIF, then the better the resolution will make it easier for us to convert your artwork into an accurate reproduction, suitable for your custom floor mat.

If none of the above makes any sense to you then feel free to contact us by email: info@designmeamat.co.uk and we'll provide you with help and advice.

Small Text

Although our printed floor mats have excellent definition and visual clarity, there are obviously limits to the amount of detail that can be printed due to the nature of the product. Because the ink is printed into nylon carpet fabric then it won't appear as high definition as for example, print on paper. But we think you will be amazed at just how much detail we can printed onto your floor mat.

If you have a logo that contains lots of text and other very small detail then it will probably be more suitable to be placed on a larger size mat to accommodate the extra detail. But if this is not an option then there are other solutions, such as simplifying your design or splitting text onto several lines.

Colour Selection

You can choose up to 14 colours from a palette of 53 colours.

We usually ask you to choose the background colour and then we use our own judgment to match the rest of the colours from your artwork to the nearest colours in our swatch. This seems to work out fine in most cases.

Please note that the colours that appear in the pdf visual of your mat which we send to you may not necessarily match 100% the colours in your finished mat. This is because all monitors display colours differently so colours will vary slightly. You can send us your colour codes if you know them, either CMYK or Pantone codes and we'll try to match as near as possible from our range of colours.
