Create a Pre-Decorated Product using the Design Studio

Creating a pre-decorated product within the design studio allows you to easily design and sell static products to your customers

To begin the pre-decoration process, you will need to have the blank products loaded into your main store that will serve as the blanks for the pre-decorated products.

Creating your Pre-Decorated Product

Within Inksoft, there are two options to create pre-decorated items.

• Create in Design Studio - Recommended Method.  
• This method allows you to pull from your blank product catalog and decorate using the design studio.  This is the method we will cover in this walkthrough.
• Upload From Computer 
• This method is ideal for a product that already has the decoration applied and is not in your Inksoft catalog, products such as promotional items, stickers, water bottles etc. 

Choosing your product in the Design Studio

• Select your product by clicking on 'Change Product'.  You are able to search by category or type the product sku in the search box. 
• Select your product color - all product colors will have the decoration applied, the color you choose here is the color you will decorate on within the design studio.

Design your Product

• Select your Artwork - you can access your saved art from this tab, as well as the clip art and design ideas assigned to your main store within Inksoft.
• Upload Image - allows you to upload artwork directly from your computer.
• Place your design on your desired product side.  You are able to change your product side by clicking on 'change product side' to decorate the back and side (or sleeve) if needed.  
• Click 'Save' to name your design and render your pre-decorated product. Once you save this product, it will lock the product as is, please make sure the item is fully decorated before saving. 
• The amount of time that the rendering process takes will depend on the colors in your design and the number of product colors.  The process may take a few minutes.  Do not close the design studio during this process.

Edit Product

After the design has finished rendering, you will be brought to the Edit Product page within Manage Products to assign your product information.

Since we have created this product using one of our existing blank products, all the blank product information will come over from the supplier, including product name, description, etc. You are able to edit this information if desired.
