This article explains the functionality of design templates, a feature that helps users save time and ensure brand consistency when creating new products. Unlike product templates, which are associated with specific products, design templates offer the flexibility to be reused across different product types.
Understanding Design Templates
Design templates offer a convenient way to save complete designs, including all layers and elements, for future use. This eliminates the need to recreate designs from scratch, saving you time and effort. Design templates are not tied to any specific product, allowing you to apply them to various product types.
With design templates, you can maintain a consistent look and feel across your product line while streamlining your design process.
Using Design Templates
Let's walk through the process of saving and using design templates:
Saving a Design Template
Create your design: Start by designing your product in the editor. Add all the necessary layers, including text, images, and personalized fields.
Save your design: Once your design is complete, click the "Save Design" button.
Access your template: Your saved design will be available in the "Templates" tab within the editor, ready for future use.
Applying a Design Template
Open the editor: Navigate to the product you want to apply the design template to.
Select your template: Go to the "Templates" tab and choose the saved design you want to use.
Import your design: Import the selected design onto your new product. All layers, elements, and personalization settings will be carried over.
Important Note: When applying a design template to a product with different dimensions than the original design, you might need to resize certain elements to ensure they fit correctly. For instance, if you are applying a design from a poster to a mug, adjust the layer sizes accordingly.
