Design & Creative Support for Your Print Portal

We can discuss artwork preparation, new designs, updates and editable templates around your brand and ordering requirements. The scope depends on the files you already have and the products you need. We agree the work and any applicable design charges before proceeding, then organise the approved designs within your portal setup.

Yes. Share your logos, brand guidelines, font files and existing artwork so we can review the setup. We establish which designs can be used as supplied, which need preparation and which are suitable for editable templates. Font licensing and any rights needed to use supplied assets are reviewed as part of that process.

Yes. Your designers or agency can supply files prepared to the product requirements agreed for your catalogue. Finished PDFs can be used for supported fixed-artwork products, while editable template setup may require additional source artwork and assets. We explain what is needed for the selected products before they are made available to order.

Share the brief, existing assets, intended products, required formats and timescale so we can review the work. We can agree a design or artwork-update scope and confirm any charges before starting. The resulting approved artwork can then be prepared for the relevant catalogue products or template setup.

Portal setup has no setup fee or ongoing platform subscription. The design and artwork support needed is reviewed with you, and any chargeable creative work is quoted and agreed separately before proceeding. Your business also pays for products and any applicable delivery or additional services. We make the distinction clear when agreeing your setup.

Useful starting points include your brand guidelines, logos, font files, current designs, product specifications and examples of the changes your team makes regularly. Tell us who should be able to edit or order each design. We can then discuss the fixed artwork, template and catalogue arrangements that fit your requirements.

Yes. Separate approved ranges can be organised within the same portal, with Product Visibility controlling which users can access them. Templates are configured around the relevant brand artwork and editing rules. This lets different brands or locations share an ordering environment without making every design available to every user.

Yes. We begin by understanding your products, users, existing artwork and the problems you want to solve. New design requirements can be reviewed alongside your catalogue and ordering setup. We agree the scope, pricing and required assets before proceeding so the creative work supports the way your portal will be used.

We review your artwork and required changes, then configure the agreed editable template setup. Suitable designs can expose fields for names, contact details, local information or other permitted content while keeping the remaining elements controlled. Users personalise the design, generate a proof and order through the portal.

Yes. Your own brand fonts can be used in the Artwork Builder, subject to reviewing suitable font files and licensing requirements. We configure the templates around your supplied typefaces rather than requiring users to choose a substitute from a generic font list. Users work with the fonts established for the approved design.

Artwork Builder templates can be configured using your agreed CMYK colour values for the generated print PDFs. We establish those artwork settings during setup. Screen previews cannot guarantee an exact printed match, since the selected stock and production conditions also affect appearance. Your brand requirements should be reviewed against the intended product.

Yes. Templates expose the fields and editing options agreed for the design. Users might enter names, job titles, contact details or permitted campaign information while other elements remain controlled. Your team decides the scope of personalisation before the template is made available to the relevant users.

Yes. Users personalise the fields available within the portal, review the result and generate a proof without opening separate design software. This is useful for recurring requirements such as business cards and local campaign details. Your team still reviews the design rules and approves the template setup before it is used.

Artwork Builder templates can use configured image areas and clipping masks. Fill mode helps the image cover its allocated shape, while fit mode keeps suitable items such as QR codes within their area. Proportional scaling helps prevent squashing or stretching. The options are established around how each template should be used.

The Artwork Builder can warn when uploaded images fall below the recommended resolution for their configured print size. It can also flag text below the configured minimum size, including text that shrinks to fit a field. Users review these warnings when checking the design. The separate PDF uploader does not currently provide automatic image DPI assessment.

Yes. Artwork Builder supports reusing previous text, images and image placement for a repeat or amended requirement. Users should check that the details are still current and review a new proof before ordering. This reduces repeated data entry while keeping the review step part of the ordering process.

Yes. Upload Your Own Artwork lets permitted users select a preset product, upload a print-ready PDF and review the configured checks and preview before adding it to the basket. Your portal can offer upload-enabled products alongside editable templates, giving different teams an appropriate route for their finished or personalised artwork.

The uploaded PDF is checked against the selected product’s configured requirements, including dimensions, page count, bleed and crop marks. Users review the results and inspect the artwork before approval. These checks help assess print-file suitability; your team must still review spelling, content, dates and the design itself.

The colour checker shows detected colours with visual swatches, CMYK values and coverage information. Similar shades can be grouped and flagged, with spot and Pantone names highlighted where available. If RGB is detected, a CMYK-adjusted preview helps assess expected changes while preserving the original uploaded PDF. The checker does not automatically decide which colours belong to your brand.

Authorised Artwork Managers can upload replacement PDFs, review the artwork checks and approve updated designs for future orders. They can also organise folders and manage their visibility. Updating the catalogue does not replace artwork already attached to existing orders or physical stock that has already been produced.

Authorised Artwork Managers can use the guided product-building wizard to add supported designs using preset product specifications and pricing structures. Users name the design, select the established setup, choose its catalogue location, upload artwork and review the checks. A new physical specification outside the existing setup should be discussed separately.

Yes. Authorised Artwork Managers can create folders and subfolders and select which user groups can see them. Product Visibility also controls access to categories and individual products. This lets campaign, departmental and location-specific designs sit in the same portal while remaining available to the appropriate teams.

Yes. You can require approval for orders containing Artwork Builder customisations. Approvers review artwork, products, quantities, pricing and delivery details before accepting or rejecting the request. Other rules can cover users, product categories and order values, with suitable routine purchases allowed to proceed automatically where configured.

Share your brand guidelines, artwork, product requirements and the recurring requests your team handles. We review the design, template and catalogue support needed and agree any chargeable work before proceeding. Contact our team to discuss design and creative support for your print portal.
