Custom Graphics for Safety Wall Panels
Make your facility stand out with custom printed wall padding featuring your team's logo, mascot, or branding.
More Than Just Wall Padding
Wall padding plays an important role in athletic facilities. Custom graphics give it another purpose by showcasing your team's identity and bringing personality into the space.
Think Beyond a Single Panel
Whether you're adding a single logo or creating artwork that stretches across multiple panels, custom printing offers different ways to make the most of your walls.
AK Athletics works with you on the layout, including artwork placement and how the design fits across the panels.
How Your Custom Design Comes Together
From your first idea to artwork approval, here's what the process looks like when working with AK Athletics.
Tell Us About Your Space
Share the dimensions of the area you want padded and any details that could affect installation, such as doors, corners, or outlets.
Share Your Artwork
Send us the logo, mascot, or graphic you'd like to feature. Original artwork files are preferred, but our team can review other formats.
We Prepare the Layout
Our team works with you on the size and placement of your submitted artwork, including how the design fits across the panels.
You Review and Approve
You'll receive an artwork proof to review before printing. Once you approve the design, it can move forward to production.
From Artwork to Wall Padding
Your artwork is the starting point. The file quality, final print size, and placement all play a role in how the finished design looks.
See the Design Before Printing
A mock-up helps you visualize the graphic on the panels, including its size and placement.
Our team works with you on the submitted artwork and provides a proof for your review before printing.
Is Your Artwork Print-Ready?
Some formats are better suited to large-format printing. For more details, see our guide to print-ready artwork.
AI, EPS, SVG & Vector PDF
Editable vector artwork is preferred because it can be enlarged without losing image quality. A vector PDF should contain vector artwork rather than a low-resolution image.
PSD, TIFF & PNG
These formats may work when the image resolution supports the intended print size.
Review requiredJPG, JPEG & JFIF
These may lose sharpness when enlarged, especially if the original file is small.
Review requiredWord & PowerPoint
These aren't preferred print formats. Original image or vector files are a better starting point.
Not preferredNot sure about your file? Send us what you have. AK Athletics can review your artwork and discuss print-related adjustments. We do not offer full graphic design services.

A Logo That Defines the Space
A custom emblem gives this training facility a recognizable identity while complementing the surrounding black wall padding.

The bright emblem stands out against the darker panels, creating a focal point without covering the entire wall.
Designed Around the Facility
This project shows how custom graphics can be incorporated into a gym with existing basketball equipment.
Look Closer at This Design
The printed artwork is positioned within the available padded area beneath the hoop, giving the wall a distinct visual feature.
One Design, Bigger Impact
A large graphic creates a bold visual feature by bringing multiple padded panels together.
Look Closer at This Design
The graphic extends across the panel arrangement, showing how a single image can occupy a larger section of wall.

Custom Wall Padding Q&A
A few things to know before starting your custom printed wall padding project.
Can I add more than one logo to my wall padding?
Multiple logos may be possible depending on the available space and artwork. Share your ideas with our team so we can discuss the options.
Can I use a photograph instead of a logo?
Photographs may work if the image quality supports the final print size. Our team can review the file before printing.
Can graphics be printed in my team's colors?
Yes, custom artwork can incorporate your team's colors. Printed colors may vary from what you see on a screen, so share any specific color requirements with our team.
What if I don't have a vector file?
You can still send us your available artwork. We'll review the file and let you know if there are concerns about its suitability for printing.
Will the design look exactly like it does on my screen?
Screen colors and printed colors can differ. Reviewing the artwork proof helps confirm the design and layout, although on-screen colors aren't an exact guarantee of the printed result.
Can I request changes to the artwork proof?
If something needs adjusting, let our team know before approving the proof. We can discuss changes related to preparing your submitted artwork for printing.
Does AK Athletics create logos or artwork from scratch?
AK Athletics does not offer full graphic design services. Customers should provide their artwork, and our team can help with print-related adjustments.
