What to Provide for a uDesignIt! Project

Before we can begin creating your uDesignIt! project, please provide the following files and details.

1. Production-Ready PDF

Provide a PDF showing how the finished product should look. Include an example of the back side, if applicable.

Let us know whether the final production PDF should:

• Include crop marks and bleed.
• Contain multiple copies arranged on a single sheet (multi-up). If so, include an example of the required layout.

Note: Colors will be set up as CMYK or grayscale unless you specify RGB.

2. Variable Information

Identify which elements the print buyer should be able to personalize, such as:

• Name, job title, or email address
• Address
• Phone, fax, mobile, or extension numbers
• Images selected from provided options
• Images uploaded by the print buyer
• Other information—please describe

3. Stock and Printing Details

Let us know whether the product will be printed on blank stock or preprinted stock. For preprinted stock, identify which elements are already printed and which the template should produce.

4. Layout and Optional Fields

Explain how the layout should behave when a print buyer leaves an optional field blank. For example, if a phone number is omitted, should the remaining text shift left, right, up, or down, or should the space remain empty?

Also identify any fields that must remain in a fixed position on the document.

5. Fonts

List any required fonts and include the font files.

6. Document Name

Provide the name you would like to use for the document.

Submit Your Files

Combine your files into a ZIP file and include the PDF example.

If you have questions about what to provide, contact Tech Support or call 1-800-736-0688

Once we have all required files and information, you can expect your finished template to appear on your website within 3–5 business days.

Editing After an Order Is Submitted

If changes are needed after an order is submitted, we recommend returning the order to the print buyer’s shopping cart, where you or the print buyer can update the personalization information.

Editing a uDesignIt! production PDF in third-party software, such as Adobe Illustrator, is not recommended and may not be supported.
