Let's move on!

 

Choose an eCommerce platform for your store

 

To list your products, accept online payments, and manage orders, you'll need to launch your online uniform store. 

Start by finding the best eCommerce platform you'll use for this.

There are two ways.

 

Choose from ready eCommerce platforms

 

You can use ready eCommerce platforms, which allow you to set up the website quickly without any coding, fill the product catalog, and go live.

There are multiple types of eCommerce platforms:

 

Hosted - eCommerce platforms such as Shopify, Adobe Commerce (Magento), BigCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, etc.

Such a platform provides an eCommerce as a Software as a Service (SaaS).

"Hosted" means that the application or platform is hosted on the provider's server and doesn't require installation on your premises or further hardware management.

The hosted platform is easier to start with and helps avoid substantial upfront costs for the e-commerce platform deployment.

This type is also best for those who do not want to deal with technical aspects and maintenance.

 

Commercial - eCommerce platforms such as nopCommerce, some versions of Magento (Adobe Commerce), etc. that are free but provide copyright removal keys.

This means each page of, for instance, the nopCommerce store will contain a "Powered by nopCommerce" link at the bottom of the footer if you do not purchase a copyright removal license.

 

Open-Source - eCommerce platforms such as WooCommerce and OpenCart, which have open code available to the public.

Best for those who want complete control and the ability to customize the solution according to their needs. 

Statista states that Shopify, Squarespace, and WooCommerce are currently the most popular eCommerce platforms in 2023. 

 

When choosing an eCommerce platform, we recommend paying attention to the following:

 

SEO

 

When you're just starting your online shop, your prospects should be able to find you on Google.

The platform you choose should be SEO-friendly, allowing you to correctly implement your technical SEO to make your website visible to crawlers and drive organic traffic.

You can also able to start your website blog to rank for more keywords and provide value to your customers by posting great content.

 

Speed

 

Website speed loading is a top factor for users when they make online purchases, especially from mobiles.

For instance, if the page loads over 3 secs, it leads to a high bounce rate and low conversions. Ensure your chosen platform has good speed performance and core web vitals stats. 

It also makes sense to use a theme that meets your requirements while does not add a ton of code to your pages, which can slow down your store.

 

Security

 

Website security is essential when you want to look like a trusted source for your customers. 

Ensure the e-commerce platform is secure and supports HTTPS/SSL certificates, so your customers can make secure payments.

 

Customization

 

The ability to customize is vital if you want to meet your and your customer's specific needs. 

The eCommerce platform should allow you to customize your shop per your requirements.

For example, you might need to customize the theme to meet your branding, create personalized buyer journeys, and offer intuitive payments. 

It can also be helpful if the platform provides API you or your developers' team can use to connect with any OMS, CRM, or product customization plugins to automate your business processes.

Choose an eCommerce platform that can handle the volume of orders and provides easy-to-use tools for personalization, managing orders, payments, and shipping.

 

 

Build a web-to-print website from scratch

 

Sometimes, ready eCommerce solutions do not fit as they cannot cover your business needs fully. 

In this case, the alternative option would be to build a web-to-print website from scratch tailored to your requirements and branding. 

Custom-developed eCommerce solution gives you complete control and limitless possibilities to make a specific journey for your customers, set pricing logic according to your business model, create the website design you wish, and implement powerful SEO. 

A tailored solution also gives you independence from any providers as, in most cases, you own the code of it. You can manage it on your own or with your developers' team.

 

If talking about uniforms or apparel, you might need to work with the manufacturer, so you should send order details to the producer. 

The process becomes more challenging if you work with many manufacturers, so managing this process manually takes time and effort. 

Out-of-the-box eCommerce platforms and plugins either do not provide or provide some default production management functionality. 

Custom development allows you to get a solution that meets your specific workflow automating a complete cycle of your uniform printing business.  

 

At LiveArt, we provide custom development services for print businesses. We can build robust and scalable solutions for your requirements, including custom eCommerce integrations. 

Share your requirements brief with us, and our expert team will get back to you to suggest the best fit for your particular case.

 

What's essential in your online custom uniform shop? 

 

If you want to enhance your business, your website should not only be a powerful tool for building an online presence and selling uniforms directly. 

Firstly, it should be a place where your customers' needs will be fully met, especially if we are talking about the personalized uniforms niche.

When customers are looking for custom uniforms, they want easily communicate their requirements: how the uniform should be colorized, what colors should be used, where the logo should be placed, which fonts should be used, and how the player roster list should look.

For B2B businesses, this process is time-consuming for both sides since such customers often order uniform sets with different designs rather than 1 item.

So, they expect an easy way to personalize uniforms on your website and ensure the items will be printed according to their needs without any returns or reprints.

 

Plan your customer journey

 

To provide the best service and satisfy customers' needs, you should understand how customers purchase products and what's important to them.

The ideal customer profile you might prepare earlier can give you a better understanding of what your customers expect from your online shop and how you can craft the ideal flow for them.

 

Start with the following questions:

1. Will the customer use ready templates or design uniforms from scratch?

2. Which customizations can the customer do? For example, the most common scenario is colorizing uniform panels, adding one or more logos, adding a names&numbers list, choosing a font and its color, and selecting sizes.

3. Can customers preview customization in a live mode or just choose options?

4. Will you provide any limitations, such as minimum or maximum order quantity?

5. Will the customers be able to order the uniform online, or should they contact you for the quote?

 

When creating an ideal flow, ensure it's user-friendly, intuitive, and responsive to mobiles. 

These points are crucial for customers and directly affect conversions and customer experience.

 

Enable personalization with jersey design software

 

Today customers want to be a part of the creative process when ordering custom products and expect brands to provide them with such an opportunity. 

Moreover, they are willing to pay more for exclusive and unique products made especially per their needs.

Product customization is an excellent opportunity to enhance customer experience and increase loyalty. 

To provide the best personalization experience, consider involving uniform design software, which can be your unique selling point. 

This web-to-print software with various features allows your customers to design uniforms online, see changes live, and order the design.

Market your online uniform shop

 

Once you launch your store, it's time to tell your prospects about it and get the first leads.

You can use different marketing channels, for example, organic search engine, social media, email marketing, paid marketing, and display advertising.

You can start by building social media presence. When doing it actively, this activity can drive traffic to your website. Social media is also an excellent chance to know your target audience better.

At the same time, start working on search engine optimization to rank higher on Google. However, consider that SEO takes about six months to provide results.

It's a long but reliable process that can bring you consistent organic traffic for free.

 

There are three main directions you can start with: 

1. Do keywords research to understand which keywords you should use for your titles,      description, and content to bring you traffic relevant to your business;

2. Implement correct technical SEO - make sure your pages are indexable and crawlable by Google;

3. Use internal linking to help crawlers understand your site structure and simplify navigation for your customers.

 

If you need immediate results, you can start with Google Ads or Facebook ads, which allow you to target your specific audience. 

If you work with B2B, we also recommend collecting as many reviews as possible, gradually building customer trust and long-term relationships. 

 

The bottom line

 

The sports uniform industry is growing consistently.

Share your requirements with us if you want to explore how our jersey design software can streamline your uniform business and improve communication with your customers.

 

 

Know your customer and market

 

The golden rule before launching any business is to analyze your market and ideal customer.

 

What is market analysis?

 

This is a process of gathering information about your industry's demand – uniforms in your particular case - its niche and target market. 

The main aim of this research is to gather the information that will help you to identify your ideal customer and their problems which you can then solve with your products and services. 

This step is time-consuming but essential, as rushing with it or not doing deep research can doom your business even before you start it.

Here are some general questions you might need to find answers to:

1. What problem am I trying to solve with my shop?
2. Who is my ideal customer?
3. How large is my audience?
4. How do my customers usually order uniforms? How can I improve their experience?
5. How much can they pay for the uniforms I sell?
6. Who are my competitors?

You can supplement this list of questions depending on your objectives.

Try to gather as much information as possible. The more helpful information you have, you'll make fewer business mistakes. 

Once you're all set with the list of questions, what are the essential steps of market analysis?

 

Find your ideal customer

 

The target audience is your ideal customers. Shortly put, it is a group or several groups of people with a specific pain you solve and get money for.

For example, your ideal customers can be businesses and members of sports teams who need to print some uniform sets according to their requirements.  

Usually, they would order uniforms by phone or manually fill out brochures. It is hard to visualize the final design and causes back-and-forth emails where you constantly send logos and mockups to your customers for approval.

Such an approach finally causes a lot of returns and errors where you need to reprint or produce the ordered item again.

The ability to order online with the live preview of any design changes allows you to solve the main pain of your customers - communicating their needs correctly to get their uniforms printed according to their needs. 

With online uniforms personalization, customers can choose the uniform template in your online store, colorize it, put a logo on the desired place, fill in the player roster and add the design to the cart. 

You then get the design details and output files in your admin panel and can print the item as per the customer's requirements.

Thus, communication becomes much more accessible and saves you a ton of time you can spend on other business tasks. 

Let's now dive more deeply and identify common traits your audience has to understand your target market better. 

For example, it's helpful to collect the following data:

1. Location
2. Company size
3. Average revenue
4. History of purchases

Based on this research, you can identify customer personas to build a more detailed picture of your potential customers, including information about their pains, motivations, frustrations, and ordering behavior. 

This information will allow you to understand how you can satisfy your customers' needs fully.

 

Research your competition

 

Your competitors are always a source of helpful information. 

Check what uniforms they sell and whether they offer personalization, and try to understand why customers purchase there. 

You can do a spreadsheet with a list of your competitors to collect valuable data about them, check them from time to time, and keep them up-to-date.

Identify their strength and weaknesses to cover how your competitors are performing and how it can shed light on areas of your opportunity to grow. 

Strengths, for example, can be the website's responsiveness, user-friendliness, and the ability to choose from ready templates rather than starting from scratch or even personalize uniforms using the uniform design app. 

Weaknesses, for example, can be a poorly designed site, loading speed or checkout issues, and no ability to obtain design proof before ordering.

Study their success stories or stories of similar brands. You can use their experience and understand what you can do better to have a more competitive advantage and develop a unique value proposition.

 

Where to find the data for your market research?

 

There are many ways to get information. 

You can use public resources such as Google to collect any available statistics or information about the audience and uniform market.

 You can also use free analytics tools to gather information about your competitors.

Check the social media of your potential customers, as there can be a ton of beneficial information to understand them better. 

You can also review competitors' founders' profiles on LinkedIn or Crunchbase to learn more about their businesses and success stories. 

As a more thorough approach, you can conduct your research by running surveys, interviews, or focus group sessions with your potential customers.

The above steps will help you collect more in-depth and original information and ask questions tailored to your business.

 

Pick Your Niche

 

Now it's time to decide what sports uniforms you plan to sell. It's a significant point before you start. 

Trying to offer as many general products as possible in your online shop may be ineffective rather than focusing on something specific which enchants your target audience. There is where the niche helps. 

For instance, if you specialize in custom uniforms, your niche can be a specific sport that is most popular among your customers, e.g., football jerseys for adults, baseball uniforms for women's teams, or school uniforms for kid teams.

Finding a niche and narrowing your target audience will help you to launch your online uniform business with minimum costs and offer a more personalized approach.

 

How and where to find your niche products?

 

Keyword research

 

Find out what and how customers are searching by conducting keyword research. 

You can simply use Google for this. When you perform a search, Google automatically completes your sentence with the most searched terms, which can bring some ideas. 

You can also use keyword research tools such as Ahrefs and Semrush. These tools show the average number of searches for each keyword which can help you understand if the niche you're discovering is worth investing in. 

Typically, such tools also suggest other keyword ideas to help you discover unique niches you've never heard of before.

 

Google Trends

 

Google Trends is a free tool that shows the popularity of specific Google searches and suggests related queries and topics that might seem attractive.

For example, we've chosen Hockey Jersey. You can see quite clearly that there's been skyrocketing growth over the past several months. 

 

You can also set a period from 2004 until today to understand if this niche is stable or has only high search intent seasonally.

 

 

Online communities 

 

One of the other ways to find a niche is to check some popular online communities like niche forums and social media groups. 

You can read members' posts, discussions, and comments to understand what is trendy and what niche products you can offer them. 

In addition, try to start a conversation and be actively involved. It will help you better understand this audience's pains and develop your value proposition.

 

Conclusion

 

Online shopping is growing fast, so now is the best time to start. 

Launching an online business is tricky, but it becomes easier with a deep understanding of what you need to do to operate efficiently. 

In the next part of the series, we'll discuss how to choose the e-commerce platform and design a buying journey for your online custom uniform shop. Stay tuned!

 

 

 

Business Goals and Pains

Before contacting LiveArt, Stickylife already had a website offering custom promotional and printable products. The current design tools they used were very limited in what they could do, so Stickylife could not offer so much to their customers.

The customer experience was not good, and the functionality did not meet the needs. For instance, clipart images were static and could not be edited by customers.

The product sizes were not editable, and customers could not know how the final product would look.

As a result, the company spent much time on manual work: resizing and formatting clipart, communicating with clients, and sending the design for approval.

The whole production process was tedious and increased the team workload a lot.

Stickylife team began to feel that they needed to find a solution to optimize the current process and satisfy customers' needs. The co-founder of StickyLife, Natalee Fisher, contacted us to automate their business and streamline the orders using LiveArt Designer and our technical expertise.

 

How LiveArt Met the Needs

Working as an agile company, we started with identifying Stickylife's needs and pains by running an exploration phase where we discuss, analyze, and document requirements necessary for successful project implementation. 

Natalee wanted to have a tool that works perfectly with the Magento 1 eCommerce platform and is easy to use for the customers.

LiveArt was chosen to scale their current business and free their team from manual work so that the company can focus more on moving the business forward. 

Stickylife wanted to allow customers to personalize their product by themselves and preview all changes live. The production team would then just receive the order with the ready-to-use output file, which they can send off to printing. Bingo!

 

Once the initial requirements became clear and agreed upon with Natalee and her team, we started to build a custom solution which was an ideal approach for Natalee's request.

Stickylife offers a variety of products, including irregular-shaped signs and stickers. One of LiveArt's tasks was to leverage and develop an easy product setup in the admin area while maintaining all layers, including safety and bleed lines.

We've also developed an integration with Pixabay to improve customer experience more and make the design process more fun.

As a result, the designer has been tailored to the specifics of stickers and vinyl letter manufacturing. The tool is straightforward and works perfectly on tablets, smartphones, desktops, and many other devices despite the internal complexity.

 

"They already had a tool that they built. They customized it heavily to meet our needs. I threw out lots of challenges to improve the product, and they met them all."

 

Under the hood, our team decided to migrate the whole solution to a scalable microservices architecture to make it as reliable and maintainable as possible. Since then, we migrated the site to Magento 2 and are working on functionality and scalability improvements.

 

Results

StickyLife immediately was able to benefit from LiveArt updates and noticed an increase in sales. The process became streamlined much more, and, thus, the team has very little manual work compared to the times before LiveArt. 

Stickylife team can now focus on their business and marketing goals and does not spend their time emailing with the customers to understand their needs. Print-ready output design files they can use for production are a big time-savior for the whole team!

 

"Without them, we would not have a business. We rely on them heavily for the design tool; it's the only way customers can use our site."

 

Stickylife gave freedom in the hands of their customers to express themselves as much as possible while providing them a great and fun experience.

This is part 2 of a series of posts about choosing the best web to print solution for your business that will streamline your orders and automate the current processes.

Part One: Checklist: 10 Questions to Ask Before Choosing Web to Print Solution

Let’s continue and dig into the remaining questions we suggest every business owner ask the company during the evaluation phase about the web to print product designer software.

 

Is the tool convenient and straightforward for my customers?

Boosting your web to print businesses in the present days of COVID isolation is always about the customer experience. The first thing you should pay attention to when choosing a product configurator is the load speed. It is known that the web page should load as fast as possible. Otherwise, you risk losing your customers.

The next crucial thing that impacts whether the customers will buy your products is the product design tool interface. It should be user-friendly. What does this mean? It means that the interface should be convenient, straightforward for customers to quickly apply custom text and artwork to the product and order without complex and lengthy processes.

The solution should meet the needs depending on your customers, the user flow, and the products you sell, whether this is a sign designer with a variable data printing feature, a simple boat lettering tool, or complex uniform design software. 

Some other things have an impact on customers’ convenience. For example, providing your customers with a free artwork gallery may help them create their designs quickly. Sometimes your customers want to purchase a custom product however do not have any ideas of the design they want to have. In this case, it can be beneficial to provide a catalog of premade templates that allows your customers to use ready designs rather than starting from scratch.

For products like signs, business cards, having a ruler and snap lines in the designer for better precision can also make the design process more flawless.

 

Does it have its own admin panel?

For standalone solutions, a featured admin panel can significantly reduce efforts for management. Own admin area allows you to have everything under your control rather than some eCommerce integrated solutions. Inquire the company whether the designer has its admin panel. Normally the admin area shall allow the following:

- Set up and configure the product. For instance, define product locations and editable areas, apply sizes, configure colors, add restrictions, or some additional product material options.

- Create premade templates with some constraints.

- Manage assets like artwork, fonts, colors.

- Configure pricing.

- Manage orders which shall include customers’ information and output files.

Ensure the admin panel has a user-friendly interface and meets your requirements by testing demo links complemented with the documentation. 

 

Is the application deployed in the cloud or on-premises?

Before adding a web to print solution to your online print shop, ask how it will be deployed. Vendors may offer you on-premise deployment or a cloud-based. On-premise deployment means that software will be hosted on your server, and you get complete control and can manage it on your own.

Unlike on-premise deployment, cloud one means that the software is deployed remotely on the vendor's cloud server. In this case, vendors may charge a subscription fee to provide a web to print solution (or part of it) as a service.  

For on-premise deployment, clarify the setup requirements. Ask how much disk space would be sufficient for the application. Do you need to provide server access? Is it required to install any additional applications such as ImageMagick, Inkscape, or Docker? Ask where the design images will be saved and hosted. Do you need to create any accounts on cloud storage?

Generally, the deployment process requires some basic technical knowledge. It is crucial to ensure that the vendor’s team will deploy everything independently or provide the necessary documentation and guidance if you have an in-house development team.

 

What kind of support does the company provide?

The software purchase and deployment is not the final step. It would help if you were sure that it works correctly, and in case of any issues or questions, you will have someone to help you. Having a maintainable solution means that you save your time and costs. Ask the company what kind of support do they provide. We have outlined a couple of essential questions to ask:

- Do you get free support for out-of-the-box solutions? For how long?

- What does this support include? For instance, some critical bug fixes, troubleshooting, or assistance with product configuration.

- Do you have any time limitations for the support? For example, the company can allocate a limited amount of hours in a year for your solution assistance. What should you do if you need more time?

- Do you get free upgrades?

- What are support terms if you have any customizations developed in your out-of-the-box solution?

- Does the company provide support plans? What packages are available?

 

It is also essential to inquire what are company’s business and support hours. If you are located in a different timezone, and your solution accidentally is down, it may affect your sales very hard. The available support team is vital for guaranteeing the solution’s stability and continuity and your business at all. 

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions, we are always open and ready to answer :)

What is Print on Demand

Print-on-demand or POD is an e-commerce business where you work with suppliers to sell customized products with your design and brand. Most POD businesses sell customized t-shirts, uniforms. bags, mugs, phone cases, and hats. 

Like Dropshipping, there is no need to keep an inventory of the items. All you need to do is choose a set of products to sell, focus on creating great designs, and marketing your store to the target audience.

For order fulfillment, POD service providers such as Amazon, Printful, and Zazzle can take care of that. With Printful, you pick products that you want to sell to your Shopify store, insert a customized design, and Printful fulfills and ships the order for you.

Some of their products include clothing, embroidered shirts, kids' clothing, masks, tote bags, accessories, etc.There are no upfront costs for connecting your Shopify store to Printful. Simply create a Printful free account, install their app on Shopify, connect your store and add your products. t's a similar process with Zazzle, except that they don't have a mobile app. Zazzles does have an online marketplace that allows you to sell directly from their site.

Is Print on Demand Profitable?

According to Shopify, print-on-demand businesses can make about $500 per month and more depending on how much time you're willing to spend managing your business. 

If you want to generate more revenue, it's not enough to just put up a store. You need to get the word out and market your store to the right audience. You need to create more awareness for your brand to make a profit running a print-on-demand business. No matter how good your design is, you may not be able to sell if you don't reach out to your target audience. Additionally, it would help to have attractive designs and functional tools to make it easier for your customers to order and customize products they want to purchase.

Is the print on demand profitable? Business owners who take this business seriously can make more money. You can succeed and possibly make a fortune so long as you are goal-oriented and maximize the available resources that can help you generate more revenue.

How to Choose Your Niche

Picking a niche is essential to running a print-on-demand business as that can help you position yourself as an expert. When choosing one, ensure that you take into consideration the profit you'll make and following your passion. Research the market first to see what type of products are selling well, and then make a shortlist of products you think will be more profitable. It would also help to sell products you actually believe would sell more. For startups, we recommend narrowing your niche so you can penetrate the market. You can always expand afterward.

Google Trends, Amazon, eBay, and Etsy are great resources to help you look for profitable POD products. You can also try making a list of your hobbies, interests, passion, and experience in the retail world. Professional experience can significantly help too. As much as possible, find at least one or two niches to establish loyal customers. A solid niche ensures a particular market would want to buy from your business instead of the competitor.

How to Start a Shopify Store

Before building a Shopify store, take time to think about what your goals are first. What are you trying to achieve? How much do you intend to make per month? What will be your marketing strategies to help you achieve sales targets? Your goals and targets serve as your guide to generating more revenue and growing your POD business. 

To get started, you only need to sign up for Shopify. Ensure you have the basics covered, such as the store name, business logo, or a brand one-liner. The step is to add the products you want to sell. Upload high-quality photos to attract more customers. Compelling product descriptions can also help.

Contact our sales team if you would like to integrate LiveArt HTML5 product designer into your Shopify store or have any questions you might require clarification on.

What product types and printing methods are supported?

The first thing to get to know when choosing an online product design tool is what kind of products it supports. Check whether the tool will allow you to set up and configure products you would like to sell. It is also essential to know whether the software allows multiple product sides. For products like decals, signs, or banners, one-sided product support may be sufficient. However, if you sell uniforms, apparel, business cards, stickers, etc., multiple side support becomes a crucial part of the product personalization process. 

Make sure that the software supports the printing methods that you use in your printing business. Here is the list of popular printing methods for custom products:

    - Screen Printing

    - DTG

    - Sublimation

    - Vinyl Applique

    - Vinyl Cut

    - Embroidery

    - Engraving

Mainly, product design software shall support standard printing methods, but some tools could be developed and aimed for specific printing methods and may not fit your needs. This part is essential to clarify because some printing methods require additional tool configuration. For instance, if you print t-shirts using screen printing, then you should control the number of colors your customers use in their designs. This flow may require custom pricing rules configuration depending on the number of colors to ensure an accurate quote. An embroidery or engraving method may require custom tweak setups like digitization or only black and white color support.

 

Can it be integrated with eCommerce platforms? 

Nowadays, the most common and straightforward way to start an online shop is to use eCommerce platforms like Magento, Shopify, WooCommerce, or nopCommerce, rather than building a website from scratch. Ensure that the product designer you want to use for your web to print business can be integrated with the platform you are currently using for your shop or are planning to use. It is also essential to clarify whether the product designer plugin is compatible with standard eCommerce themes. Usually, web to print companies provide front and back demo access for clients to test how this works in practice or suggest setting up a demo trial. Check whether the existing features fit your needs the best.

One of the crucial parts of the online business process is managing product designer assets such as product images, premade templates, colors, fonts, artwork galleries, and customers' saved designs. This managing process should be convenient and flawless for you. Thus, ask whether the company provides documentation or has any video explanation about using the admin panel and the designer.

 

Can it be used as a standalone designer?

Although eCommerce solutions are very perspective in web to print business, some printing business owners prefer standalone solutions to eCommerce-based. Let’s see why and start with a definition. A standalone app is an application that can work independently and does not require anything else to be operational. This kind of web to print tool gives more freedom and abilities for in-depth managing and advanced functionality as required per your business needs. Due to its independence, the software can be integrated into any website and used for web to print development, including complex workflows. For developers, it is essential to have software that works seamlessly and does not conflict with the main application.

If you feel that your business needs require software that can be completed independently and can collect the designs without the eCommerce integration, then a standalone web to print app will get the job done. For a standalone version, the designer can be embedded to the storefront page and managed via configuration files such as JSON structures or a simple standalone admin area. In this case, it would be helpful to ask vendors how you can manage your products, assets, and designs.

For web to print providers managing the designs is a crucial part of the printing process and requires automation as much as possible. For instance, you may need to collect all design information you can send via email to your customers and contact them back about their order or save the design ID for later use. You may also require to have a simple checkout like Foxy.io for saving order information. Ensure that the flow you get with a standalone solution will allow you to manage orders effortlessly. Once you sure the solution meets your needs, you may also inquire about integrating the designer with eCommerce platforms.

 

Is the tool easy to extend and customize?

Just like your customers want to have custom products, you may also like to have a solution you can customize and extend according to your needs and liking. For instance, you may require to translate the interface to the desired language, update visual styling, add new labels or add your custom logic. Ensure that the product design tool you consider buying is open-source, and its code allows you to extend UI controls, modify HTML and CSS or use tool API. Having the ability to modify the solution allows you to have control and customize it to provide the most desirable experience for your customers.

 

Are the custom development services available? How can I extend the functions? 

Sometimes out of the box solutions companies provide may not meet your needs fully. For some rocket science business ideas with specific customer journeys, default web to print apps does not fit. Unique UI/UX, custom workflow different from off-the-shelf solution, specific variable data printing setup, custom production output are the things that may require additional development. To give birth to your unique business idea, inquire about custom development services in vendors.

For example, LiveArt provides customization services for custom eCommerce and web to print solutions development, UI/UX development, custom production output, advanced B2B solutions, etc.

Depending on your needs, the company may suggest extending the existing functionality by adding a new feature or offer a complete custom web to print solution development.

In case the company can develop the solution tailored to your needs, ask what is required from your side. Usually, companies start the requirements analysis to discover your issues and pains. What will significantly simplify the elicitation process is the specification document. This document should include functional and non-functional requirements and also can be complemented with UI/UX mockups. In short, this document will be a guideline for the developers to implement the scope of work correctly. 

Ensure you have complete source code ownership if the company develops a custom web to print solution according to your requirement.

 

Does the web to print tool offer a live preview?

Most modern product design configurators are featured with a live preview. When the customer adds text, artwork, or selects product color, all changes are reflected on the product immediately. Having this feature can be valuable for your customers as they can personalize their products in real-time and check whether they like it before they place the order.

There are three kinds of previews: 2D, 3D, and AR preview. A flat 2D preview is sufficient for products like signs, stickers, or any other flat product. If you have products such as phone cases, bottles, or uniforms and want to provide your customers a better look and feel of the personalization process, you will benefit more from 3D preview. The difference between these previews is that 3D preview allows you to rotate the product 360 degrees and looks closer to the real product. 

Some companies offer 2D preview by default however can develop 3D preview support by request as additional customization. Find out all details about the preview in web to print solution provider you choose. You can ask them to set up your products for the personalized demo and test whether the preview they offer is suitable for you. 

Finally, the AR preview (Augmented Reality) offers a previously unavailable natural feel of the customized product. It perfectly works for almost any product type. What's more, customers can use their mobile devices to see a 3D mockup of the customized product in their environment.

 

Can I colorize my product templates or artwork?

The ability to colorize product templates or artwork is an integral part of the personalization process. As a printing business owner, you need to understand whether the product designer tool provides such a feature. To be colorized, product templates and artwork should be in vector format. Usually, web to print companies use SVG format. Thus, you may need some time to provide files in the required format if you do not have them at the start.

Some vector files cannot be used as-is to be colorized and require preliminary preparation. The complexity of this process depends on whether the vector file is correct and what your requirements are. For instance, you want to allow customers to change only one color on the product, which might work for products such as t-shirts, hoodies, signs, and some promotional products. For products like uniforms, you may need to have multiple colorizable areas complemented with the ability to apply the gradient. 

The gradient is the best way to add depth to the design and make it more attractive. Depending on your customers’ desires, they may want to add a drastic gradient or make a more subtle transition. The best methods for printing gradients are screen printing, sublimation, and DTG, which are often used for smooth transitions and accurate blends.

Sometimes, customers want to have some complicated and eye-catching gradients on designs. For example, start with green color, change it to orange color in the middle and end with a red. To please our customers, LiveArt features a multiple stops support for colorizing products with a gradient. Thus, the product template may be colorized with two and more colors gradient with different transparency so your customers can create an appealing blend. Let’s take a look at the example below:

Sometimes the product template or gallery images are not compatible with the designer company provides. In this case, inquire whether the company can undertake image preparation to look nice to the end customer and allow simple or gradient colorizing.

 

Does it support mobile and the latest grade browsers?

The COVID era boosted the usage of mobiles even more. Getting the customer experience right and retaining more clients means the product design tool should work seamlessly on mobile devices. People are also more inclined to buy online on mobiles rather than using PCs. As the design tool may have many features, it should be convenient for customers to customize products on small mobile screens. Check your customers’ overall flow and ensure the tool is comfortable in use and meets your requirements.

To provide the best experience for your customers, the web to print solution should also support the latest browser versions. It is essential to test the solution on modern browser versions to ensure this works correctly. You can also inquire about the list of such browsers in vendors. Commonly, this info is described in the documentation of web to print software.

 

What technologies web to print tool is written with?

Having a product design tool with an excellent interface that meets your requirements may not be enough when talking about the web to print solutions. To scale your printing business, you should offer your customers a stable, secure, and easy to maintain solution. It is crucial to know what underlying technologies vendors used for building a web to print solution you consider using for your online shop. If more than ten years ago developers built web to print solutions on Flash, all modern applications are built on HTML5 related stack. The underlying technology shall also allow an easy embedding of the product customizer application to your solution or website.

Technologies for image processing are essential too. In this technologically savvy time, it can be beneficial for web to print companies to rely on SVG format, an industry standard for vector imaging, including responsive apps for tablets and smartphones. SVG is a vector-based format that looks clean and nice on any device and any resolution, regardless of its size. It is also capable of being converted to production-grade output files such as EPS.

If you plan to integrate the web to print solution into your B2B site, it may make sense to inquire about the backend part of the product configurator. Is it based on PHP, Java, or any other programming language? Do you need to rely on any frameworks to enable a stable solution for your web to print shop?

 

What production output does the tool provide?

One of the crucial parts of an online product design tool is having a correct output to streamline the ordering process and minimize production efforts. The production-ready files shall be as prepared as possible for immediate print without any extra processes. Ask away which output format the web to print software vendors provide. Can they tweak the output only in raster formats such as JPG or PNG or produce vector files such as PDF or EPS?

Depending on the kind of products you are selling, you might require a specific DPI. Vector output files can be resized to the required resolution upon print sourcing, while raster images should have the required DPI configured beforehand. It is equally important to know which color profile the output files shall have. If you use output files for reference, an RGB profile should be sufficient, while a CMYK profile is often required for production-ready files as colors on the printed file are most approximate to those that customers use on the web.

Design post-processing also matters. You may need to have an extra layer on the bleeding area, add cutting masks, have SKU, or put any other additional information not generated on the preview but required for production purposes.

To understand whether the output meets your requirements, you may ask vendors to prepare the personalized demo to create the design, download output files and print them.

 

Enabling web to print solution for your online printing shop allows your customers to create personalized products. At the same time, you can minimize production efforts, streamline your orders, and stay competitive on the market. Consider the solution which can meet your and your customers' needs thoroughly.

With robust, flexible, and maintainable web to print tools, you can get more benefits and take your business to the next level. Follow the above checklist to facilitate the evaluation process and be more prepared for communication with vendors. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or need more information about choosing the best web to print business solution.

 

 

What is SVG?

SVG, or Scalable Vector Graphic, is a vector-based graphics in XML format which is used for the web and works with JavaScript, CSS, DOM, and other standards. Basically, an SVG image contains lines and curves, which can have any color value. However, some complicated SVG files can have embedded PNG, JPG images, or SVG image itself.

Created with XML, vector images can be scaled to any size without losing resolution and still can look like high-quality images, even in huge sizes. Unlike PNG, the larger the image, the less the quality. Let’s take a look at the example of zoomed SVG and PNG images.

What benefits of using SVG?

- Scalable and adaptive to all screens. All SVG assets are displayed in good quality on different screens like desktop, mobile, tablets, etc. Providing users high-grade images regardless of their devices is one of the main parts of an excellent user experience. 

- You can use a text editor to work with simple SVG graphics, for example, Notepad. This can significantly save your time on installing additional software and figuring out how to work with this. However, for the more complex graphic configuration, you may need to use some tools. We will provide a list of them at the end of the article.

- SVG is supported by all modern browsers like Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc.

- Compared to raster images, SVG has a smaller file size. It is known that site speed plays a crucial role. Typically, the user leaves the page if it takes longer than 3 seconds to load. Therefore, having SVG assets instead of PNG can improve this indicator.

- SVG can be not only static. Because SVG format works with JavaScript, you can create animation, which can significantly improve your website performance. 

- Regardless of size, SVG images are high-quality, which is well suited for printing.

What does the SVG file consist of?

SVG file consists of text - SVG markup. Every SVG file starts with a <svg> tag, which contains the image’s width and height attributes. After this tag, you can add any shapes you need to create the desired graphic. For example, let’s start with a basic SVG image that contains only one line.

Code sample:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<svg height="210" width="500">
  <line x1="30" y1="100" x2="400" y2="20" style="stroke:rgb(115, 3, 252); stroke-width:4" />
</svg>

</body>
</html>

 

Result:

SVG uses a two-dimensional system of coordinates. This system starts from the top left corner (0,0). As you can see, the <line> contains the start point - x1,y1, the endpoint - x2,y2, style attribute defining color in RGB, and the line width. You may have already noticed that this code contains some HTML code. This means that every SVG graphics can be embedded into an HTML page directly.

Shapes

The line is just one of the basic predefined shapes which you can use for graphic creation. You can also draw other shapes like circle, rectangle, ellipse, polyline, and polygon using respective XML tags.

Code sample:

<rect width="300" height="100" style="fill:rgb(255,255,255);stroke-width:1;stroke:rgb(0,0,0)" />

 

Result:

Code sample:

<circle cx="190" cy="120" r="100" stroke="black" stroke-width="1" fill="white" />

 

Result:

Code sample:

<svg height="260" width="500">
  <polygon points="230,20 270,200 130,240" style="fill:white;stroke:black;stroke-width:1" />
</svg>

 

Result:

 

More complex shapes

Having basic shapes allows you to create plain assets. However, what if you want to create a more complicated design with unusual shapes? Here is why the <path> was created for. This attribute allows you to create curves, open and clothed paths and is one of the most adaptable SVG elements. If you want to use <path>, we recommend using professional tools for SVG creation instead of plain text editors. 

The idea of <path> is that all lines or shapes are built sequentially, from one point to another point. The tag <path> has a main attribute d, which consists of commands that can create graphics.

Let’s take a look at the rectangle created using a path.

Code sample:

<svg>
    <path d="M0,0 L300,0 L300,100 L0,100 Z" style="fill:rgb(200,50,170)"/>
</svg>

 

M set coordinates of the first point. In our case, this point starts from the top left corner. L means draw the line from the current point to the specified one. Z is used to complete the path and closes it.

Result:

The same result you will get if you use basic shape <rect>.

Code sample:

<svg>
  <rect width="300" height="100" style="fill:rgb(200,50,170)" />
</svg>

 

The <path> has many other commands that allow you to draw arcs, curves, horizontal or vertical connections with two points.  There are a lot of other path commands which can help you in creating SVG graphics.

 

Can I add text to SVG?

Yes, text can be added to SVG using the <text> tag. As for other elements, you should define coordinates for your text. Text color, size, and font values are also feasible. Please consider that font size should not be bigger than y coordinates because your text will look not entirely. You can also apply a style to your text using CSS properties. For example, font-style, font-weight, text-transform. 

Text in SVG is indexed flawlessly, so it is an excellent opportunity to keep improving your SEO. Regardless this is a standalone file or file embedded in HTML, search engines can recognize the text.

Code sample:

<svg >
  <text x="80" y="60" font-size="40" font-weight="bold" fill="green"> Text here!</text>
</svg>

 

Result:

 

However, adding text through <text> tag can cause some problems with the font-family attribute. For example, when you specify a font-family that is not available on the user’s web browser or is not installed on the desktop, tablet, etc., then this font will not be displayed correctly, or a font similar to it will be used instead. This may be risky, especially for those who sell personalized products for their decoration industries struggling to satisfy customers’ needs. In Liveart, we handle this by using vectorized text. We convert TTF, WOFF, OTF, or PFB files to JS file, where every symbol has its own <path>. This approach allows displaying text correctly without the additional need to install the font. 

Using vectorized text is also a good approach when you need to convert your SVG file to PNG, JPG, or PDF and use it for printing, as text elements will be displayed precisely with the font preserving.

 

Strokes, filters, effect, and shadows

To have your design more sophisticated, you can apply some filters, effects, and strokes. Strokes are used to define the color of a line or text. Besides color, you can set line thickness using the stroke-width property or even create dashed lines with the stroke-dasharray property.

Code sample:

<svg>
    <path stroke="black" stroke-width="6" stroke-dasharray="10,10" d="M10 20 L230 20" />
</svg>

 

Result:

When working with strokes outline, you may face some issues with the stroke-width attribute. By default, width changes are applied to the outside and inside and cause text thickness changes.

Old version of LiveArt HTML5 Designer (v0.10).

Strokes in web to print require preserving the text's initial appearance - size, thickness, etc. In the last version of LiveArt Designer, this issue was solved by changing only the outside part of the stroke while saving the original text size. Having a properly configured stroke is an essential part of output generation and its further usage. Here you can check how strokes should work:

Actual version of LiveArt HTML5 Designer (v1.0).

 

There are also a lot of filter elements that you can apply to your graphics. For example, <feGaussianBlur> for blur effect, <feOffset> for shadow effect, or <feBlend> for blending two images, and many others.

Code sample:

<svg>
<defs>
    <filter id="f0" x="0" y="0">
      <feGaussianBlur in="SourceGraphic" stdDeviation="15" />
    </filter>
</defs>
   <rect width="200" height="200" stroke="black" stroke-width="5" fill="red" filter="url(#f0)" />
</svg>

 

To identify the unique filter name, we should use the id attribute. You can also control the blur size with the stdDeviation attribute.

Result:

Unfortunately, filters are not supported by all browsers. Google Chrome supports filters only from version 8.0, Safari - from version 6.0, Opera - from version 9.6, Internet Explorer from version 10.0, and Firefox from version 3.0. To provide your users with a good experience, make sure that a default element (without filters) looks good.

When talking about the web to print, it is quite risky to use filters for production output as we are not entirely sure that the customer’s browser will support this. However, LiveArt uses filters to visualize products and create a good impression during customization. We show some parts with thread effect for products like socks to get the product preview as real as possible. One more case where effects can be applied is custom jewelry products or custom tags. For such products, we suggest applying an effect to the text to make it more visible on the reference that will be used for the stamping.

 

You can achieve a stamped effect not only with SVG filters but also using CSS based on text-shadow property, yet the last one has no SVG filter flexibility and features.

More about SVG in LiveArt

LiveArt relies on the SVG format and considers it as one of the most convenient and flexible in usage. Developing robust solutions for more than ten years, we understood that vector format is useful for our customers. Therefore, we have implemented the support of multicolored SVG graphics in our online design software, which you can use from our free artwork gallery or upload your own.

However, when you regularly wear a simple mask, you might feel like you are losing your identity. Nobody would even recon your smile! That is why having a mask with a cool design is a trend nowadays. It is known that wearing a thing designed according to your needs changes your perception from “I need to wear this” to “I want to wear this.” Many people began to use custom masks with their photos, meaning that only that part of the face that is hidden under the mask will be printed on the mask. These masks create a feeling for others that you are without the mask, but still, you protect them and yourself from infection. Perfect combination, right?

What do you need to allow your customers to buy custom face masks online?
