Designer

overview the designer section allows administrators to configure the size related settings for a product, including design dimensions, margins, and page configurations these settings determine how the product is displayed in the online designer and define the dimensions that customers can use when creating or uploading their artwork products can be configured with a single standard size or multiple size variations depending on the business requirements for example, a business card may be offered in multiple sizes such as 3 5 × 2 inches and 4 × 3 inches , whereas a mug may be available in only one standard size purpose the purpose of this feature is to define the physical and design dimensions of a product, ensuring that customers create artwork using the correct specifications using the designer section, administrators can define one or more available sizes for a product configure design dimensions for the online design tool set margins and printable areas define the number of pages or sides associated with the product support both standard size and multiple size product offerings ensure accurate artwork placement and print production proper size configuration helps provide a consistent design experience, reduces artwork errors, and ensures that the final printed product meets the intended specifications configuration size size title click on the add button and enter various size names that will be visible to the customer your customers will see this name when they choose the size of the product bleed size enter the canvas size, i e , the printing area of the product this size is reflected in the designer studio fold options the folding configuration allows you to define how and where a product will be folded by specifying the fold type, number of folds, and their positions this helps ensure that fold lines are accurately applied and displayed across the design and preview stages to configure folds, click on the fold options link start by selecting the fold type when fixed is selected, fold lines are automatically distributed evenly based on the number of folds you enter this option is ideal for standard folding requirements where equal spacing between folds is sufficient if your product requires precise fold placement, select the custom fold type in this mode, you can manually enter numeric values to define fold positions at exact measurement points the values are based on the product’s unit of measurement, such as inches or millimeters, allowing greater control over fold placement fold direction, such as vertical or horizontal, is handled automatically within the fold configuration, ensuring consistent behavior across different product designs without additional setup after completing the configuration, the designer studio renders the fold lines dynamically in real time based on the defined settings the same fold configuration is also reflected in the 3d preview , providing accurate and consistent visualization throughout the design and preview process setup cost you can define a set up cost product size wise if the size wise setup cost is added, then the product price calculation will be as follows – total product base price = product base price + product set up cost + size based setup cost if you have configured both the setup costs – ‘product setup cost’ & ‘size based setup cost’, then the system shall consider both setups cost in the ‘total product base price’ calculation note – the "size based setup cost" feature is not available for the ‘dynamic size’ pricing method images if required, then upload images to support each size of the product this will help your customer get a better understanding of the size dimensions product margin enter the safe margin and cut margin as a
