Production Files & Preflight
What you get with every order — high-res PNG, production PDF, vector SVG, and cut-path die-lines — and how preflight keeps designs printable.
Files Attached to Every Order#
When a customer completes an order with a custom design, the following files are available from your Designs gallery:
| File | Use |
|---|---|
| High-resolution PNG | Rendered at full print resolution — no upscaling |
| Production PDF | Sized to trim + bleed, ready to send to your printer |
| Vector SVG | Works with laser-cutting software like LightBurn and Inkscape |
| Cut-path SVG | Die-line in standard magenta with physical coordinates, for die-cutting or laser work |
A cart preview image is also attached to the order line item so you and the customer can see the design at a glance.
Print Guides on the Canvas#
Customers design against real print dimensions — defined in inches, cm or mm at your target DPI (300 DPI default). Bleed, trim, and safe-zone guides are drawn live on the canvas so customers stay within spec while they design.
Canvas shapes include rectangle, rounded rectangle, circle, and oval — for labels, stickers, coasters, and die-cut products.
Preflight Checks#
Before a customer can submit, the app runs preflight checks and warns when:
- Objects cross the safe zone
- Text is too small to print legibly
- The background doesn't cover the bleed
This means files arrive printable — no more fixing artwork that arrives at 72 DPI with no bleed.
Effects for Engraving#
The editor includes production-oriented image effects: grayscale, invert, and 1-bit threshold — ideal for laser engraving. You can also auto-apply these filters per template so engraving products always get the right treatment.
