Products & Listings

Use the Design Library

Upload your artwork once, save print-ready versions of it for different products, and reuse those versions when you build listings.

The Design Library stores your artwork in two layers. A master is the original, full-quality file you upload once (your logo, illustration, or pattern). A product version is that same artwork prepared for one specific product, sized and positioned to match its print file requirements (for example, a mug wrap or a 9oz candle label). One master can have many versions.

This guide walks you through uploading a master, creating product versions from it, and applying a saved version to a product listing.

1. 1

   Dashboard > Design Library

   Open the Design Library

   In your dashboard, click Design Library in the left menu. The left side of the page holds the Upload master artwork form and your list of designs. The right side shows details for whichever design is selected. If you have not uploaded anything yet, you will see 'No master artwork yet.'

   

2. 2

   Design Library > Upload master artwork

   Upload a master artwork

   In the Upload master artwork card, choose your file, type a Design title, and optionally add tags (comma separated). Then click Save master. The new design appears at the top of your list and opens on the right.

   You can upload PNG, JPEG, WEBP, GIF, SVG, AVIF, or HEIC files. Upload the largest, highest-quality file you have, since every product version is prepared from this master. If you skip the title, the file name is used. If you click Save master without choosing a file, you will see 'Choose an artwork file first.'

   

3. 3

   Design Library > Search designs

   Find and select a design

   Use the Search designs box to filter your list by title or tags, then click a design to open it. Each card in the list shows a small preview, the image dimensions (for example, 3000 x 3000px), and how many versions it has.

   If a design shows 'Dimensions pending', the image is still being processed. Give it a moment and search again.

   

4. 4

   Design Library > Create a product version

   Create a product version

   With a design selected, scroll to the Create a product version section. Search for the print requirement that matches the product you want, for example '9oz candle label', 'mug', or 'shirt'. Each result shows the template name, its required print size in pixels, and the placement. Click a template to create the version.

   A version is always tied to one print requirement so the exported art comes out at exactly the size that product needs. After you click a template, Printonic creates the version and takes you straight into the editor.

   

5. 5

   Design Library > Edit product version

   Position your artwork and save

   In the editor, your master artwork sits on a canvas that matches the product's print area. The requirement and its required size are shown above the canvas. Move, scale, and crop the artwork until it fills the area the way you want, then save. You will see 'Product-ready version saved.' when the export is stored.

   Saving creates the actual print file. Until you save, the version exists but has no export yet. Once saved, its status shows as READY back on the Design Library page. Use the Back to Design Library link at the top to return.

   

6. 6

   Design Library > Saved product versions

   Review or re-edit your saved versions

   Back on the design's detail view, the Saved product versions section lists every version with its name, dimensions, and status. Click Edit on any version to reopen the editor and adjust the layout, then save again to replace the export.

   

7. 7

   Dashboard > My Products > your product > artwork upload

   Use a saved version on a product

   When you edit a product's artwork, Printonic checks your Design Library for versions that match that product's print requirement. Compatible ones appear in a Design Library matches panel. Click Use next to the version you want, and you will see 'Saved Design Library version applied to this file requirement.'

   Only versions created for a matching print requirement show up here. If nothing appears, go back to the Design Library and create a version using that product's template first.

   

8. 8

   Design Library > design details

   Delete versions or masters you no longer need

   To remove a single version, click Delete version on its card and confirm. To remove a design entirely, click Delete master artwork at the top of the detail view and confirm. Deleting a master removes it and its versions from your library.

   Deleting is safe for your shop. Listings that already use the exported art keep working unchanged. Deleting only removes the design from your library so you cannot reuse it on new products.
