How to define a Print Area

Creating a print area on a customizable product is very simple:

1. Use the Ruler Tool to drag Point A and Point B to the edges of your product image where you want to measure the distance, then enter the real-world dimensions of the distance between Point A and Point B in the corresponding field*.
   
   *By default, the measurement unit is set to centimeters. However, you can change the unit by using the "Measure Unit" dropdown located at the top right of the editor.

   Here’s an example:
   
    

2. Use the Shape Tool to create the print area, it automatically gets the size based on the measurement you set at step 1.

• You can change the size of the print area by using the width and height boxes on the right
• You can adjust the print area by using the resize and move symbols on the corners of the print area.

These steps ensure the print area is accurately scaled to match the actual size of your product and that your customers will be able to personalize only within the area you defined.

 

Options

Cropped output

By default, any parts of the design that extend beyond the print area are removed, ensuring that the print file matches the shape of the print area.

If you uncheck "Cropped output", the print file will include the entire design, including any parts that extend beyond the print area.

See example below (cover case)

 

Alternative methods to define a Print Area

• If you wish to create complex print areas, we suggest using a PNG mask to define it.
• If your product requires cut, safety, or bleed lines (visible or not to your customer), you need to upload a PDF file.
