Floor Graphics

Effective signage may be found in every element of a customer’s view, but floor graphics are perhaps the best example of this. Floor graphics are specialty decals created for floor advertising using special adhesives and durable laminates designed to be stepped on.

The most efficient floor graphics are placed in areas of high foot traffic in permanent or temporary consumer-friendly spaces.  As with all quality signage, floor graphics printing is highly customizable depending on design, application surface, and desired lifespan.

The Many Uses of Floor Graphics

Despite their constant grounded position, floor graphics are a versatile aspect of indoor and outdoor signage. These custom floor decals can:

  • Direct foot traffic: Stores and other retail spaces can utilize floor graphics to guide consumers to optimum routes through the selling areas. These routes help highlight on-sale or premium product stock.
  • Catch the attention of potential buyers: No matter age or gender, most people tend to watch where they’re going. Floor graphics take advantage of this directional sense to optimize every second of consumer time.
  • Fight the draw of the smartphone: When customers use smartphones, their gaze often drifts downward. While this posture can cause them to miss signage at eye level, floor graphics will still be easily visible.
  • Promote branding during a convention or trade show: Floor graphics are easily applied and removed, making them perfect decals for temporary events like conventions or trade shows. These areas typically see high foot traffic from people unfamiliar with the venue; effective floor graphics printing can not only grab attention but guide potential clients to the booth.
  • Optimize retail space: Larger warehouse-style stores and events can have difficulty convincing attendees to walk all distances. This challenge usually reflects in areas with shifting success rates – high amounts of sales near the front of the store and lower amounts near the back. The outskirts are less attended and, as a result, less successful. Floor graphics can motivate consumers with periodic directions and incentives to keep walking.
  • Provide important safety information: Certain larger events can become crowded, increasing the likelihood of incidents. Floor graphics can help define walking lanes for parents with small children and the elderly, helping to keep them safe.
  • Highlight branding at a sports arena or other broadcasting venue: Professional sports remain a huge draw for many people. Floor graphics are an effective and seamless way to show off a logo and promote branding during a game.
  • Give non-promotional directions: While the best signage weaves vital information together with corporate branding, sometimes attendees and customers just want to know where the bathroom is, or where to direct people to the food court.
  • Welcome guests: In many ways, the welcome mat was one of the original floor graphics. While these specialized decals have become more sophisticated and cost-effective, bidding a polite “hello” has never gone out of style.
  • Customize celebrations: Weddings, proms, and other significant personal events can all benefit from a custom-printed floor display.
  • Point of Purchase: Designing floor graphics for point of purchase areas in retail stores can be a great way to direct the flow of traffic.  

Why Floor Graphic Quality Matters

Floor GraphicsFloor graphics are among the most durable form of graphics available – they have to be. Considering that effective floor decals are in areas with high foot traffic and cleaning machines, the material must be built to withstand a constant barrage of shoes, bags, and other wear. Printers of floor graphics also need to construct them with specially formulated adhesives to remain anchored to a variety of flooring types, yet easy to remove when the promotion is over

Hopkins Printing manufactures floor graphics on specially formulated pressure-sensitive adhesive vinyl that has a removable adhesive for easy clean up on hard flooring surfaces like VCT tile, hardwood, low ply carpets, polished or rough concrete, and ceramics but also provides a bond that is resistant to peeling off the floor, even when dealing with massive amounts of foot traffic. A textured over-laminate can also be added to provide protection from people walking on it and reduce slip risks.  

Designing Custom Floor Graphics

Every business has its own specific needs for its floor graphics. For this reason, custom floor decals can be designed to stick to carpet or hard surfaces like laminate, tile, or concrete. At all times, a smooth surface has to be preserved so as not to create a trip hazard. When designing your floor graphic, keeping in mind the surface and the safety of everyone involved is a priority.  There are several different floor decal constructions, and knowing what surface the decals will be adhered to will help ensure the right one is used for your project.
