A. Prepare all necessary files



Before creating a campaign, you should prepare all necessary artwork files that will be printed on the product. PrintBase, PlusBase, and ShopBase (PrintHub) allow sellers to create product designs by uploading multiple image files (image layers), and adding multiple layers of texts (text layers).

Please visit this link to download our resource package for this personalized campaign with multiple design versions. In this resource package, you could find the sample assets as following:

A .PSD file for the template artwork used in this article.
A font file for text personalization.
.PNG files to picture choice personalization.

B. Choose the base products



Please refer to this article on how to choose base products for your campaign.

C. Edit campaign's design



All steps below are performed in the Layers section of the Campaign Editor.

Create fixed layers in all design versions. In this demo campaign, you should create 1 image layer for the background as in the photo below.


Create group layers for different design versions of your campaign.

Create layer group for 1 dog:

Create an image layer for Dog#1.


Create a text layer for Dog#1 name: Name#1. Here, you can upload the Austina font from our resource package.


Create a layer group named 1 dog.
Click and drag these two layers (Dog#1 and Name#1) in the 1 dog group.



Create layer group for 2 dogs:

Duplicate 2 dogs group.
Repeat the same steps to create image and text layers for Dog#3 (Dog#3 and Name#3) and add these two layers in the 3 dogs group. You should adjust the sizes and positions of each image and text layer to fit all 3 dogs in the artwork.
