Set the design size and position on the print sheet

Choose your product type, its size and the design position, so the print file comes out at the right size.

Steps

Path: Order output > Print file design > Open print editor

1. In the Studio, click Order output.
2. In the Print file design card, click Open print editor. The editor opens with three steps, and the print sheet in the middle.
3. Under What’s the product?, choose the product type: Mug, Apparel, Box or Flat. Choose the type first. Changing it later resets the sizes and the position to that type's settings, and removes any custom layout.

The What’s the product? step in the print editor, with the Mug product type chosen.

4. Under Product sizes, click the tab of the size you want to set. To add a size, click + Size. Each size has its own sheet and layout.

5. Under Print sheet size, enter the size name, then the width and height in centimeters.

   Does your product have a size option? Choose the matching choice in Size linked to option. The order uses the size the customer chose. If their choice matches no size, the order uses the first size.

The Print sheet size box with the width and height, and Size linked to option below it.

6. Under Where does the design print?, choose where the design goes on your product:

   • Mug: Right of handle, Left of handle, Both sides or Full wrap.
   • Apparel: Front, Back, Front & back or Left chest.
   • Box: Front, Side, Lid or All faces.
   • Flat: One side or Two sides.

   On a mug, Both sides repeats the design on each side of the handle. Handle gap is a no-print zone around the handle, usually 2 cm.

7. Under Check the sheet, make sure the design sits in its place on the sheet. On a mug, the word Handle shows at both ends of the sheet.

The Check the sheet step and the mug print sheet, with Handle at both ends.
