- Finding Products

creating and Uploading Designs
Once you’ve found your product, simply select that product, and once on the Product page click Design to open the Printed Mint Custom Designer. Or you can also click the paintbrush tool when you hover over the product image.
In the Product Designer, you can use five different tools to help you create or upload your design.
Product - This tool shows you the color variances that this product offers and whether this product can print on multiple sides. It also has the option to duplicate the design you made to another printable area on this product.
Layers - This tool allows you to see all of the designs you have placed onto this product. You can also add a background color, rotate, align, flip, duplicate and make a pattern of your design.
My Files - This is where you will be uploading your existing designs. In this tool, you will also see all the files you have uploaded and be able to search and archive these designs.
Add Text - This tool allows you to add text, change the typeface, color, and size. You'll also have more customizable options like outlines, shadows, letter spacing, line height, align and rotate.
Add Clipart - This tool lets you choose from any of our numerous clipart characters and customize their colors, rotate, scale, align, flip, duplicate and make them a pattern.
Once your design has been created or uploaded in the designer hit Next at the top right corner of the Product Designer. This will take you to the Mockups of your product. From here you will select the sizes and colors you wish to use for this product then hit Save.
Product detailing, Add to cart and Save
The next page is the Product Description page. This option is completely customizable. You are given the chance to rename the product and change the description that will be displayed in your My Designs listing.
