How do I use the design templates?
Our templates empower you to create designs with precise dimensions, ensuring greater accuracy in product design placement. These templates are available in two file formats: PNG and Adobe Illustrator (AI) files.
Step 1: Download the template from the Product Creator
Click Start designing next to the Print Provider of your choice on any product page. If templates are available for the chosen product, you can access them by clicking the Product info icon, then Download design template. The templates will be automatically downloaded in a ZIP format.
Step 2: Open the template file
To open and edit these templates, you can use any image editing program, including free online tools like Canva, Adobe Express, or Photopea, as well as professional software such as Adobe Photoshop and similar programs.
Below is an example of the file opened in Adobe Photoshop.
Step 3: Add your design to the template
Once the template is open, you’ll be able to add your design. The easiest way is by dragging it into the designing software. Make sure that the important design elements are placed within the safe area (dashed line), and all of the bleed areas are covered with the background color.
Step 4: Hide or delete the template before exporting the design
After finalizing the design placement on the product, disable guide and background layers in Adobe Photoshop before exporting. In other editing tools, delete the template image before exporting.
Step 5: Upload the design to Printify
Now you’re able to upload your final design to Printify. Open the product in the Product Creator, or click Start designing if creating it from scratch.
If the item has multiple variants: drag your design into the Product Creator and select the size variant for your design, then click Make a specific design for… button. Then repeat the same for each variant. This will ensure that the particular design will be sized perfectly for the specific variant. Read more.
