Our online Product Creator is designed to make it easy for you to customise any Treat Pod product with your own artwork.
Whether you're new to print-on-demand or have experience, this guide will help you use the tool step by step — so your designs come out looking exactly as you want.
Step 1️⃣ : Choose Your Product
✅ Start by browsing our product catalogue.
- We offer a wide range of homeware, giftware and accessories.
- Each product has specific printable areas and recommended dimensions.
✅ Once you’ve chosen, click “Create Product” to open the design tool.
Step 2️⃣ : Upload Your Artwork
✅ Click the “Upload” button to add your design file.
- Supported formats: PNG (recommended for transparency), JPEG/JPG (for photos or solid backgrounds).
- Make sure your artwork meets our recommended 300dpi resolution for best results.
You can upload multiple designs if the product has more than one printable area.
Step 3️⃣ : Position & Scale Your Design
✅ Drag and drop your artwork onto the product template.
- Move it into the exact position you want.
- Use the scaling handles to resize it.
✅ Pay attention to safe zones:
- Keep text and important elements away from edges to avoid clipping.
- Use any on-screen guides or templates provided.
✅ Check for transparency if needed:
- PNG files let you remove backgrounds cleanly.
- Avoid accidental white boxes if your design needs clear areas.
Step 4️⃣ : Preview Your Product
✅ Our preview mockup lets you see how your design will look in real life.
- Check that important design features are showing within the print area
- Look for any stretching, misalignment or unwanted borders.
✅ Make adjustments if needed.
Tip: It’s always worth taking the time to double-check before saving.
Step 5️⃣ : Save Your Product
✅ When you’re happy, click “Save” (unless you're manually purchasing straight away)
- Your design is now ready in your Treat Pod account.
- You can order it immediately, or publish it to your shop if you're using an integration.
✅ You can edit saved products later if you want to update your design.
Step 6️⃣ : Publishing to Your Shop
✅ For integrated shops (Etsy, Shopify):
- You can push your saved product directly to your store listings.
- Treat Pod handles all the backend linking for automated fulfilment.
