Getting Started with Online Design

Display visuals Team | May 28th 2026 | 2 min read

Our online design tools make it easy to create custom printed products, even if you do not have professional design experience. You can start with a ready-made template, upload your own artwork, or build a design from scratch using text, images, colors, and layout tools.

Before you begin, choose the product you want to customize and review the available size, material, and print options. These choices help make sure your design is created for the correct product format.

Ways to Create Your Design

You can create your design in a few different ways:

Start with a design template

Choose a pre-made layout and customize the text, images, colors, and branding.

Upload your own artwork

Use an existing design file, logo, photo, or image and place it onto your product.

Create a design from scratch

Add your own text, images, shapes, colors, and layout elements directly in the online designer.

 

Before You Start

For best results, check that:

  • You selected the correct product and size.
  • Your images are clear and high resolution.
  • Important text and graphics stay inside the safe area.
  • Your background extends to the bleed area when required.
  • Your spelling, dates, phone numbers, QR codes, and contact details are correct.

 

Need Help?

If you are not sure where to begin, starting with a template is usually the easiest option. If you already have a finished design, uploading your own artwork may be faster.
