How to Use the Online Design Tool
Last updated
The online designer is where you personalize a product before ordering — add your own artwork, text, names and numbers, and see exactly what you're getting before you buy.
Getting started
- Choose a product and click Design Now (or the equivalent button on the product page).
- The designer opens with the product ready for customization.
- Work across every printable area of the product — the tool isn't limited to a single print spot.
Adding your design
- Upload your own artwork — see Uploading Your Own Artwork: File Requirements & Tips for file tips.
- Add text — choose fonts, colors, and sizing directly in the tool.
- Choose colors for your selected print/decoration process, if the product supports color options.
- Select sides — front, back, sleeve, etc., depending on what the product supports.
Personalizing team or group orders
If you're ordering for a team or group (uniforms, roster shirts, event merch), the designer supports adding names and numbers per person as part of a single order — no need to submit a separate order for each teammate.
Saving your design
Click Save while signed in, and your design is stored to your account — you can come back and finish it later, reuse it, or reorder it going forward (see Saved Designs & One-Click Reorders). You'll need to be signed in for a save to stick; see Creating Your Account & Signing In if you haven't set up an account yet.
Checking your price as you design
Pricing updates as you design — quantity, colors, and options you choose all affect the price shown, so what you see reflects what you'll actually be charged at checkout.
Low-quality artwork warning
If you upload an image that's too low-resolution to print cleanly, you'll see a warning. You can still proceed, but for the best print quality, swap in a higher-resolution file if you have one — see Uploading Your Own Artwork: File Requirements & Tips.
The designer works on any device
You can design from a phone, tablet, or computer — there's no need to be at a desktop to start or finish a design.
Troubleshooting
- Designer won't load — try refreshing, or a different browser; if it persists, contact the shop.
- Can't find the "Design Now" option — some products are sold as-is (blank stock) without a designer step; if you expected to customize it and don't see the option, ask the shop.
- Lost your work — if you weren't signed in, unsaved work may not persist between sessions; sign in before you start designing next time.
