The builder has three areas: the design list on the left, the sheet in the middle and the order summary on the right. Customers work in the list; the sheet and the summary follow.
Design list, sheet and order summary

​
Adding designs

The list starts with your welcome message and three ways in:
  • Upload Files — one or many at once. Each file becomes a row with a thumbnail, its size at the shop’s resolution floor, and a resolution verdict.
  • Add Text — types a text piece in your fonts. See Design tools.
  • Gallery — picks a graphic from the folders you allow, or searches the Print.App graphics library. See Design tools.
A new upload lands at the largest size that meets the DPI floor, so it starts out printable.

​
Size, quantity and options

Opening a row shows its controls:

​
The resolution check

Every raster design shows its resolution at the current size, in green when it passes and red when it does not. A design under the floor is also marked on the sheet and listed in the summary with the largest size that passes:
A low-resolution design flagged in the list, on the sheet and in the summary
With Low DPI blocks checkout on, Preview & Save stays disabled until the design is shrunk or replaced. The sheet keeps packing meanwhile so the customer always sees the real layout. Remove background cuts the background out at up to 4096 pixels on the long side (16 megapixels), so a design with it on is judged by the cut-out’s pixels: a 6000-pixel upload at 20 in drops to about 205 dpi when its background is removed.

​
Auto-nesting

Every change to the list re-packs the sheet on its own after a moment. When the shop allows, the customer can change the gap and switch rotation off for the whole sheet. An order longer than one sheet continues on Sheet 2; the tabs at the bottom switch between sheets. If the shop allows it, pieces can also be selected, moved and resized on the sheet itself. A resize there changes the design’s size in the list and re-packs. A move stays where it was dropped, and a Re-pack button appears in the top bar to put the sheet back into its packed layout. The same button appears when a pack fails, as the retry. On a sticker sheet every design shows its border and a magenta cut line around it. A design’s size in the list is its artwork’s size; the sticker adds the border on every side. The sheet is view-only: sizes and copies are set in the list.

​
The summary

  • Length used — the billed length of the sheet against the maximum.
  • Sheet length — shown when the shop lists sheet lengths or lets customers enter one. Auto fits the sheet to the designs; a listed or typed length makes the sheet at least that long. If the designs need more, the sheet grows and the summary says so.
  • Sheet space — a bar of the film used, and how much of the length the customer is already paying for is still empty. Pieces added there cost nothing more. When a copy of one of the designs fits in that space, Fill with copies adds as many copies as fit without billing more film (pick the design when there are several).
  • Price — the store’s live price, when the shop has connected it.
  • Blockers — designs that stop checkout, with what to change.

​
Preview & Save

The red Preview & Save button shows the finished sheet, then saves it as the customer’s project and returns them to the product page with the price set. Saved sheets can be reopened and edited from the store’s saved designs until they are ordered.

​
Transfers by size

In this mode the customer sees no sheet: the list takes a print size and copies per design, and the summary shows total copies and total print area. Save & continue returns to the product page with the copy count set; the shop’s nest happens behind the scenes.
