Work through an intuitive process and create your own branded visualisation in 5 simple steps.
Confirm the product you want to create a branded visualisation for. Check its colour, available decoration techniques, and stock levels before you start designing.
Here you decide how and where the branding will go. Start by choosing the layout: one logo, the same logo on two sides, or two different logos. You'll configure the rest on the tiles below.
Upload your file (.psd, .ai, .eps, .pdf, .cdr). The validator checks whether it meets the requirements of the chosen technique — whether it's a vector, whether fonts have been converted to outlines, and so on. If you chose two different logos, upload both files. There are three possible outcomes:
The validator is a testing feature and can sometimes be wrong. If the result looks incorrect, send the visualisation to our designer.
Now you fit the logo to the product. You can do it by eye, dragging the corners of the logo area, or precisely, by entering values in the fields alongside.
Choose the language of the visualisation (Polish, English, or both at once) and generate. The finished visualisation is saved automatically in your Customer Panel. From there you have several options:
Three pillars that guarantee correct branding and fast order fulfilment.
Most decoration techniques (pad printing, screen printing, laser, embossing) require vector files. Vector graphics can be scaled infinitely without any loss of quality.
Vector = Quality
Before sending your file, convert all text to geometric objects (outlines). If you don't, and we don't have your font, the system will substitute a different one — and some characters will likely disappear.
Convert text to outlines
Understanding colour systems is essential for the final result. Each technique uses a different colour model.
Pantone ≠ CMYK
Check the technical requirements for each decoration technique.
Ink is transferred using a flexible silicone pad that conforms to the shape of the item.
Best for: Small, hard promotional items: pens, lighters, keyrings, power banks.
Avoid: Very fine print on strongly curved surfaces — the image may distort.
Thick ink is pushed through a mesh stencil directly onto the surface.
Best for: Large runs of cotton T-shirts and bags with a simple logo.
Avoid: Small orders (a few pieces) — screen setup costs make the unit price very high.
A computer-controlled laser beam burns the design precisely into the surface.
Best for: Metal pens, thermoses, wooden, leather, or glass items.
Avoid: Designs requiring colour — engraving always takes the colour of the material.
Ink is printed directly onto the item and cured instantly with UV light.
Best for: Flat plastic, metal, or glass items, e.g. notepads or cases.
Avoid: Files with a background if you want only the logo printed — the file must have a transparent background (preferably PNG or vector).
Ink is sprayed directly onto fabric, similar to a home inkjet printer.
Best for: Photos and highly detailed, complex, multi-colour artwork on cotton T-shirts and bags.
Avoid: Low-resolution files (below 300 DPI) — the printer reproduces every blur faithfully.
Artwork is printed onto a special film, then heat-pressed onto the fabric using adhesive.
Best for: Colourful logos on clothing (T-shirts, hoodies) and textile accessories.
Avoid: Designs with very small isolated elements (under 1 mm) and transparency — DTF has a white underbase across the entire print area.
A finished graphic (print or foil) is heat-pressed onto the material at high temperature and pressure.
Best for: Workwear, caps, umbrellas, and logos in hard-to-reach places.
Avoid: Very complex shapes with many fine details — they may bleed. In such cases DTF is a better choice.
Ink turns to gas under heat and bonds with the material's structure. Undetectable to the touch. Bleed is required in the file.
Best for: White mugs, white sportswear (synthetic), and lanyards.
Avoid: Designs on a coloured background — sublimation has no white ink, so the item's background will always show through the print.
A metal die permanently presses the design into the material under high pressure.
Best for: Leather diaries, wallets, folders, notebooks, and stationery.
Avoid: Raster files (photos) — vector format only. For small quantities the price is high due to die production costs.
The design is stitched using thread by computer-controlled embroidery machines.
Best for: Logos on polo shirts, fleece jackets, winter hats, and towels.
Avoid: Gradients (smooth colour transitions) and very small letters (below 5 mm in height) that may become illegible.
A special paper bearing the design is applied to ceramics and then fired at high temperature.
Best for: Mugs, cups, plates.
Avoid: Small runs — due to the labour-intensive firing process, this method is cost-effective mainly for larger orders.
Quick answers to what most often slows people down when using the creator.
First check that the file contains only the logo, with no background, frames, or full brand guidelines. That's the most common cause. The second is format: most techniques require a vector (.pdf, .ai, .eps, .cdr), and a JPG embedded inside a PDF is still a bitmap.
If the file looks correct but the error keeps appearing, fix it and re-upload, or ask our designer for help straight away. Bear in mind that the validator is a testing feature and can sometimes be wrong.
It depends on the technique. UV digital print, DTG, DTF, and sublimation accept bitmaps, so yes. Pad printing, screen printing, laser engraving, heat transfer, and embossing require a vector — a bitmap won't work.
If you only have a raster file but need a vector, contact our designer. It can often be recreated.
A warning means the file is close to valid. You can still generate the visualisation, but something needs attention — for example, elements are too thin or details are too close together. Our designer will review the artwork before production anyway.
An error means the file is not suitable for the chosen technique in its current form. You need to fix it and re-upload, or ask the designer for help.
Use our Extract logo tool. It prepares the file so that only the mark remains, without the background or any unwanted elements. Without it, exactly that background will appear in your visualisation.
Converting to outlines turns text into geometric shapes. If you don't do it and we don't have your font, the system will substitute a different one — and some characters may disappear or shift.
In CorelDraw, select the text and press Ctrl+Q. In Illustrator: Type, then Create Outlines (Shift+Ctrl+O). In Canva, you need to export the project as SVG, which requires the paid Pro version.
It detects them from your file and lists them in step 4. You can replace each colour individually by searching for a different one in the palette. If you don't change anything, the system keeps the colours as detected from the file.
You don't need to. The creator picks Pantone automatically based on the colours in your file. If you need a specific shade, you can select it manually from the palette — but it's an option, not a requirement.
Treat it as a guide. Monitors vary in calibration, and every technique and surface renders colour differently. For Pantone-based techniques the print shop mixes ink according to the formula, so the Pantone code is a more reliable reference than the colour on screen.
The colour list lets you see what your logo is made of and optionally swap colours before the visualisation. With full colour printing (DTF, UV, DTG, sublimation) colour is produced by mixing CMYK inks anyway, so Pantone here is more of a preview than a formula.
The creator maintains the logo's proportions. Changing the width adjusts the height and vice versa, so the mark doesn't get squashed or stretched. This is intentional.
Millimetres set an exact size for the mark. A percentage refers to the available print area. With a 260×260 mm area and a square logo, entering 50% gives you a 130×130 mm logo. Use whichever is more convenient — the result is the same.
It's useful when the branding needs to run at an angle or vertically — for example along a lanyard or the side of a pen. Set the angle in the "Rotation (°)" field in step 4.
In the Customer Panel, under the "Visualisations" tab. Every generated visualisation is saved there automatically, so you can come back to it later.
Yes. Adding to the cart and placing the order means approving the visualisation, which is required before production can begin. Check the design carefully before you confirm it.
The generated visualisation together with your description is sent to our designer. They make the changes and send the finished artwork back to you. The more precisely you describe what to change, the better the result you'll get.
The first visualisation for a given project and one revision are free of charge. If you need visualisations for several different products, each of those is also free.
It's an accurate preview, but not an exact replica. The position and size of the branding may differ slightly, usually within about 15%. Colour and shade depend on the surface and technique, so they may differ slightly from what you see on screen. By approving the visualisation you accept the design for production.
No. You choose the language before generating and can tick both Polish and English at once. If you forgot, just generate the visualisation again with the correct language selected.
The creator shows only the techniques available for the selected product, so you can't choose something that isn't possible. For details, see the Technical Requirements section above — it describes what each method is good for and what to avoid.
Techniques like screen printing and pad printing apply each colour separately using physically mixed ink — hence the limit. Full colour printing builds the image by mixing inks, so there's practically no colour count. The limit for the chosen technique is shown on the tile in step 2.
Yes. You can generate and save a visualisation in the Customer Panel without buying the product. You only add it to the cart when you want to place an order.
