Custom Product Designer

Custom Product Designer is used for personalized products that do not fit the Photobook, Print, or Calendar flows.

Use it for decor, gifts, apparel, DTF, mugs, merchandise, and other custom product use cases.

When To Use Custom Product Designer​

Use Custom Product Designer when the product needs:

  • Customer photo upload.
  • Editable text.
  • Clipart or sticker placement.
  • Background selection.
  • Product-specific printable or customizable areas.
  • A custom product format, such as decor, apparel, DTF, gifts, or mugs.

Apparel and DTF are use cases of Custom Product Designer. They are not separate products.

Follow this order for most custom products:

  1. Choose a Custom Product Blank
  2. Prepare any required template or artwork.
  3. Create a Product
  4. Publish / Download a Product

Only create a new blank if no existing blank matches the product you need.

Designer Tools​

Customers can use the designer to:

  • Upload photos.
  • Add photos to the design area.
  • Apply page layouts when available.
  • Add or edit text.
  • Use clipart or stickers.
  • Apply backgrounds.
  • Crop, resize, rotate, duplicate, move forward, or send backward.
  • Preview and save the design.

The exact tools depend on the product setup and template configuration.

Before Publishing​

Before making a custom product available to customers, confirm:

  • The correct blank is selected.
  • The editable area is correct.
  • Required templates or design objects are available.
  • Customer upload behavior is correct.
  • SKU and pricing are complete.
  • Mockups represent the product clearly.
  • Test orders produce the expected output.

Apparel And DTF​

For apparel and DTF products, start with an existing custom product blank when possible. Use advanced setup only when a new product blank or template format is required.
