With a design editor, users can upload their own files, such as logos and images. This enables full personalization according to their style and preferences. By giving users control over their design, engagement increases, leading to higher satisfaction with the final product.
Design editors are increasingly appearing in webshops, allowing customers to create and order personalized products such as phone cases, photo albums, or business cards. All of this is made possible by a well-functioning and user-friendly design tool. Curious about what a design editor could mean for your business, or want to learn more about design tools? Feel free to contact us, no strings attached.

4 benefits of a design editor
If you offer personalized products, a design editor can be a true asset to your webshop.
While designing, users see a real-time preview of the product. This enhances the product experience and creates clarity. A live preview helps avoid misunderstandings and sets clear expectations, resulting in a transparent and positive customer journey, boosting both trust and conversion rates.
Products are only produced once an order is placed, ideal for personalized items. This reduces inventory costs and waste, and allows for more flexible and sustainable production. The editor’s output is fully production-ready and print-compatible.
Internal processes like order handling, inventory management, and customer communication can be automated. This saves time, reduces errors, and provides valuable data insights. It allows you to respond faster to customer needs and increases operational efficiency.
Possibilities of a design editor
Looking for more advanced options beyond color and material selection? With a design editor, you can adjust dimensions, choose from various finishes, or personalize the product with custom text or logos. The personalization possibilities are extensive. Additionally, the editor provides a live preview of the result, so the user can immediately see how the final product will look.
Example: HEMA
For our client HEMA, users can create a personalized gift card. The customer can choose the color, image, text, and layout themselves. The result is fully visualizable, customizable, and ready to order immediately. The options are extensive and flexible.

Marius Linders
"A design editor offers maximum creative freedom within the boundaries of production guidelines. Designs can be automatically converted to a Pantone color palette, and print files are generated in both bitmap and vector formats, including margins and cut or print lines. This ensures the final result is immediately ready for production. It minimizes errors and enables an efficient, controlled process from design to finished product."
