creating templates for custom sublimation products

Greetings,
How do you upload a template for a custom sublimation product? I've uploaded a template for a product. The current methods only include straight forward shapes (square, circle, rectangle).

Thanks in advance for your help,
Tom

Hello Adam,
That is correct.

Hi,

You basically make a blank shape of the mask area and save it as a .PNG with a transparent background. Then when you upload into DN you choose to select your own mask.

1. Make a mask shape:



2. Save it as .PNG with transparent background:



3. When making a product and creating a decoration area select to 'Define a new area', give it a name then select to upload your own shape in the Manage Product View screen:



Now this video is a little old but it shows the process and more importantly, how to make a bleed areas well:




Hope it helps!

Thank you, I'll give this a try.

Hi Brenden,

just so he don't get confused, I believe that the mask needs to be the opposite way since what it needs to be decorated is the yellow area.

BAAAAHAHAHA! Clearly I didn't have enough coffee before replying.

Yes, of course... mask the area you WANT to print, not like I have Unless of course you're business is illegal number plate printing





Cheers Ruben!
