Before choosing a customized rug, you need to understand the core needs of your business – if you skip this step, you are likely to buy a rug that is not the right size, made of a durable material, or even out of sync with your brand’s style, which is a waste of your budget.
Customized rugs with logos are an “extension” of the brand and must be designed to be consistent with the corporate ethos. To think clearly about the core elements of the brand: for example, technology companies commonly used cold colors, mother and baby brands commonly used pastel colors.
Logo placed in the middle of the rug or the corner, whether to do a little bigger eye-catching, or to do a little smaller delicate. In addition, color reproduction is also very important. For example, Miracle Custom has professional printing technology, which can bring back 100% of the brand color, and there will be no color difference.
You can’t just choose a rug that looks good, you have to think about “what problem this rug is going to solve”. If it is placed in the doorway, we must choose to absorb moisture, block dust material, such as rubber bottom + coarse fiber surface.
If placed in the reception area, we have to take into account the comfort and beauty, microfiber material is very suitable, step on the soft, but also show the grade; warehouses, workshops, such as the high wear area, we have to choose the ultra-wear-resistant industrial-grade rubber rug.
Poor quality customized rug will fade and ball up in a few months, but will pull down the brand image. When choosing, ask about the details of the material: for example, whether the fabric is fade-resistant, whether there is a non-slip design on the bottom, and whether it can withstand frequent cleaning.
You can let the supplier to send some material samples, feel the texture, test the wear resistance, after all, the rug is to be used for a long time, the quality must pass.
Different areas of the rug needs are not the same, can not be used in the end. Entrance rug should be wider than the door frame, so that customers enter the door, no matter which side, can be stepped on; reception area of the rug should be based on the size of the reception desk.
For example, the reception desk is 1.2 meters long, the rug can be selected 1.5 meters long, just to cover the area around the reception desk; exhibition rug should be lightweight, easy to transport and paving, and also choose a bright color, can be conspicuous in crowded exhibitions.
The price of customized rug spans a wide range, so you don’t need to blindly choose the most expensive one, and don’t be greedy to buy a poor quality one. You can first set a rough budget, and then communicate with the supplier: for example, if the budget is limited, choose the basic material, but ensure that the logo printing is clear.
If the budget is sufficient, choose the more wear-resistant and texture material; Miracle Custom will recommend the right program according to your budget, and won’t let you spend money in vain.
Don’t panic when choosing a customized rug, follow these five steps to find the product that meets your needs and avoid detours.
first clear “why customized rug” “where to use”. You can start with a list: what are the areas to be ruged? How is the foot traffic in each area? What brand message do you want to convey through the rug?
For example, the entrance wants to strengthen the first impression of the brand, and the reception area wants to enhance the comfort. Then to accurately measure the size of each area, with a tape measure, do not estimate to, such as the entrance width of 1.8 meters, 1 meter deep, remember this size, you can also take a picture of the scene to the supplier, they can be more intuitive to help you judge.
The style should be matched with the brand and space decoration. For example, law firms, financial companies are suitable for simple models, rug color selection of dark gray, navy blue, logo with embroidery process, show professional; milk tea stores, cultural and creative stores are suitable for lively models, color selection of the brand’s main color, logo with printing process, more dynamic.
As for the material, choose rubber and nylon for high flow area, which is wear-resistant; choose polyester and microfiber for low flow area, which is comfortable. It is recommended to let the supplier send material samples, such as rubber samples and microfiber samples, compare the texture, and then combine with the scene to choose.
Now many suppliers have online design tools, the operation is very simple: upload your logo, adjust the size and position, you can also change the rug backing color, real-time preview results. But pay attention to two points: First, the logo file must be high-definition, the resolution of at least 300DPI, or printed out will be blurred;
Second, the color should be good and brand color, such as the brand color is Pantone 2945C, tell the supplier this color number, so that they can accurately blend. If you don’t know how to design, you can also get help from the supplier. Miracle Custom has a design team that can help you adjust the logo layout until you are satisfied.
The supplier will send you a digital sample of the rug after designing it, so make sure you look at it carefully and don’t just confirm it. Check: Is the logo in the right position? Is there any deviation between the color and the brand color? Is the rug size wrongly labeled? For example, if you want a 1.8-meter-wide rug and the sample is marked as 1.6 meters, you should change it in time.
If there is something you are not satisfied with, such as the logo is too big, tell the supplier, “Can you shrink the logo by 10%”, until the sample fully meets your requirements and then confirm, this is a key step to avoid subsequent production errors.
After confirming the sample, you can place the order. Before placing the order, check the information again: the number of rugs, size, material, delivery address, do not fill in the wrong.
If you are going to use it for the exhibition, you have to tell the supplier the latest delivery time, so that they can arrange the expedited production and delivery. In addition, remember to delivery order number, so that you can check the real-time logistics, know when the rug arrives, convenient to arrange for people to receive and lay.
Putting custom rugs in high-exposure, high-demand locations is the only way to maximize its value, both in terms of reinforcing the brand and solving practical problems.
The entrance is the first place customers see, and placing a customized rug with a logo will immediately make them remember your brand. For example, if a clothing store in a shopping mall puts a rug with the brand name on it at the entrance, customers can see it at a glance when they pass by, and it is more memorable than a simple sign. And the entrance rug can block the dust and rain outside, keep the store clean, reduce the cleaning workload.
The reception area is where customers wait and communicate, and putting a customized rug can make the space more upscale. For example, the reception area of a technology company, in front of the reception desk to lay a piece of dark gray rug, the middle of the print a small size of the brand logo, will not be too ostentatious.
But can make the customer feel that “this company is very attentive to detail”. If the reception area is relatively large, you can also use the rug to divide the area, such as separating the waiting area and the aisle, so that the space is more organized.
The tradeshow floor is full of booths and competition, and an eye-catching piece of customized rug can help you stand out.
For example, a bright yellow rug at the entrance of your booth with a large logo and slogan will easily attract passers-by. And trade show ruging is lightweight and practical as it can be rolled up and taken away when you’re done with it, and then used again the next time you attend an event.
For a smooth ordering process and still get a satisfying rug, these tips must be remembered — they can help you avoid pitfalls and extend the life of your rug.
If the size is wrong, the rug will be useless even if it looks good. It is recommended to measure twice: the first time you measure yourself, and the second time you let your colleagues measure again to make sure the data is the same.
If there is a special structure in the space, such as pillars and steps, you should write down the size of these positions, and tell the supplier that they will adjust the shape of the rug according to the actual situation, so as to avoid gaps when the rug is paved down.
If the logo is ambiguous, it will reduce the overall texture and look cheaper when printed on the rug. If the resolution of your logo file is not enough, it is recommended to commission a professional design company to increase the file resolution to 300DPI or above; or communicate with the customized rug supplier to help optimize the process.
Different rug materials have different maintenance methods, so ask in advance in order to use it for a longer period of time. For example, rubber rug can be rinsed with high-pressure water gun, and can be used after drying; ruged customized rug should be vacuumed regularly, and if there is any stain, use neutral cleaner to wipe it, not strong acid and alkali cleaner, or the color will fade.
Write down the maintenance method and tell the staff in charge of cleaning, which can prolong the life of the rug.
