How to use the Designer Tool

For most of our products you can create the artwork directly on our website using Designer for free. Our design tool allows you to create professional graphics and send them to production in just a few clicks, without needing graphic design softwares.

Our online Designer tool is simple and intuitive. If you ever need help, just click the “?” icon in the top-right corner once you're inside the tool to access a step-by-step tutorial.

Editing your design online

Once elements have been added, you can:

  • Move
  • Rotate
  • Duplicate
  • Delete

them as required

To ensure correct positioning, always refer to:

  • Trim area (magenta)
  • Safe area (green)
  • Fold lines (yellow)

If your product has two sides or multiple panels, don’t forget to customize each one. Find on the right how to switch between panels (e.g., Table 01 and Table 02).

An exclamation mark may indicate:

  • Elements too close to the edge
  • White borders that may be printed
  • Important content that may be cut off

Some products also offer a 3D preview: open it to get a better idea of how your final product will look.

Saving your Designer project 

  • You can save your project by clicking "Save" in the top bar (feature available only when logged in)

  • Drafts remain available for 6 months in the "My designs" section of your account

Completing your design online
 
Once you're done designing:
 
  • Click “Continue”
  • Review carefully your design for quality and layout

  • Click “Add to basket” to move forward, or “Edit your files” to go back

  • We’ll receive your file once your order is finalized

After placing your order

If you change your mind after confirming your order, you have 30 minutes to delete the file from the Upload area. Once deleted, you can upload a new file at any time. In this case, the existing design created in original Designer project cannot be edited and any modifications must be recreated from scratch.

Want a non-editable PDF of your project? Contact our Customer Service team with your order number, and we’ll send it over

If you've already placed your order, but have not yet submitted your file, you can still use the Designer tool from your Upload Area by selecting “Create your file".

Designer not available

Only a few products (such as Books & Magazines) or configurations (such as selective white, special finishes, or products with graphic variants) do not support Designer at the moment. If you don't find the "Create your file" option you need to upload a print-ready file following instructions and template.

We're constantly working to provide you a complete and pleasant experience with new features to create your file online!
