A process to manufacture tufted backing materials comprises the steps of a) providing a roll bearing a backing material which backing material comprises a first side exhibiting a first colour and a second side exhibiting a second colour, wherein the first colour is different from the second colour, the first side is the front side and the second side is the rear side, b) unwinding the backing material from the roll in a first unwinding direction and guiding the backing material into a tufting device provided with tufting means, so that the first side exhibiting the first colour faces the means of the tufting device, c) tufting the backing material with the tufting means of the tufting device until a desired amount of a tufted backing material has been manufactured provided with tufts on the first side exhibiting the first colour, d) cutting the backing material at a position between the roll bearing the backing material and the tufting device, e) rotating the roll bearing the backing material by an angle of 180° so that the first side exhibiting the first colour is the rear side and the second side exhibiting the second colour is the front side, f) unwinding the backing material from the roll in a second unwinding direction which is opposite to the first unwinding direction and guiding the backing material into the tufting device provided with tufting means, so that the second side exhibiting the second colour faces the means of the tufting device, and g) tufting the backing material with the tufting means of the tufting device until a desired amount of a tufted backing material has been manufactured provided with tufts on the second side exhibiting the second colour.
