You do not need a professional design file to have a custom product made. Simply share your product idea, your logo, the text to be used, and the quantity you need. The design is prepared before production, presented for your review, and produced upon your approval.
What Should You Prepare Before Ordering Custom Products?
You are not expected to know all technical details when placing a custom design order. Explaining where and for what purpose you will use the product is usually enough to determine the correct material and production method.
For instance, a thank-you plaque for an employee, a QR board for a business desk, a logo-printed gift for an opening, and a promotional item to be distributed to hundreds of people are not planned in the same way. As the purpose of use becomes clearer, dimensions, material, quantity, and design are easier to determine.
Do you only have an example photo? You can still submit your request. The example can be examined for dimensions, material, and manufacturability and can be replanned to suit your brand.
How to Place a Custom Design Order?
The process may differ slightly depending on whether you want to personalize an existing product or have a completely new model prepared. However, the basic order flow is completed in six steps.
Select one of the models on the site or describe the product in your mind with an example image.
Share dimensions, quantity, logo, text, QR/NFC links, and the need-by date.
Files, material, dimensions, and production method are checked for feasibility.
Logo, text, and images are placed in accordance with the selected product.
Names, dates, links, and general appearance are checked before production.
The approved design is produced, undergoes a final check, and is protectively packaged.
You do not need to know the technical name of the product. Even a short description like "something for the desk with our logo and three QR codes" is a good start to identify the right product.
In What Formats Should Logo and Design Files Be Sent?
The starting point of high-quality printing is the correct file. A small logo downloaded from the internet, a social media profile photo, or a screenshot may appear blurry and pixelated when printed. If possible, the original corporate file of the logo should be sent.
You can send a Canva file. Export the design as a PDF in the highest possible quality and also provide the original file of the logo you used. For detailed information, you can review the Print and Cut Design Guide page.
Small images sent via WhatsApp, screenshots, and files artificially enlarged afterwards do not create true print quality. If you only have such an image, send it anyway so its suitability for production can be checked.
Can I Order If My Design Is Not Ready?
Yes, Print-Ready File Is Not Mandatory
If your idea, logo, and information to be used are ready, you can take the first step. A basic layout suitable for the product is prepared and presented for your approval before production.
- You can send a photo of the product you like.
- You can provide the logo and text separately.
- You can specify your color preference or your corporate colors.
- You can explain the area where the product will be used and its purpose.
- You can ask for support for appropriate dimensions and materials.
- You can see the prepared layout before production.
The logo, text, and basic layout to be applied to the product can be arranged. Designing a logo from scratch, comprehensive illustrations, or detailed corporate identity work is different from standard product placement and is evaluated separately.
How Is the Price Determined for Custom Products?
In custom design products, the price is not determined solely by the size of the product. Two products that appear to have the same dimensions may differ in material, print density, cutting shape, and production time. Therefore, the exact price is determined after evaluating the project details together.
| Information to share | Why is it required? | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Product or sample image | Determines the production type and material. | Glass plaque, desktop QR board, logo-printed gift |
| Dimensions and quantity | Affects material consumption and production schedule. | 20 × 28 cm, 50 units |
| Print content | Indicates the scope of design and printing labor. | Logo, name, four QR codes, and two NFCs |
| Need-by date and city | Ensures production and transit time are planned together. | September 15, delivery to Istanbul |
How Should Information Be Submitted for Bulk and Corporate Orders?
If multiple personalized items are to be produced, it is safer to collect names and other variable information in a single Excel file rather than sending them piecemeal in messages. Information such as first name, last name, title, department, award type, and date should be in separate columns.
Same Design, Different Personal Details
While the logo, general layout, and brand colors remain the same, the name, title, date, award category, or number can be changed on each product.
- Write each type of information in a separate Excel column.
- Do not combine multiple pieces of information into one cell.
- Send the spelling in its final form to be used in production.
- Clearly name the final version of the file.
- Compare the total quantity with the number of rows in the list.
- Designate the authorized person to give approval in advance.
For orders from schools, companies, municipalities, associations, agencies, and dealers, you can request a written quote by submitting project details through the Corporate Production and Bulk Order page.
How Do the Design Approval, Production, and Delivery Process Proceed?
After the logo, text, and other information are placed on the product, the design is presented for your review before production. At this stage, you need to carefully examine not just the general appearance, but also the names, titles, dates, phone numbers, and QR/NFC links.
Text, images, colors, and links are examined by the customer.
The approved work is added to the production schedule for printing and cutting.
Printing, cutting, assembly, and programming processes are applied according to the product.
Packaged against scratching, breaking, and crushing depending on the product material.
The prepared order is handed over to the carrier, and the tracking process begins.
Transit time may vary depending on the destination city and the carrier's schedule.
Many custom products are usually prepared in 1–3 business days after the necessary information and design approval are completed. The time may vary in cases of custom cuts, high quantities, stock, revisions, or high demand. Shipping transit time begins after the preparation period.
If you have a fixed date such as a ceremony, opening, or organization, get a written confirmation of the deadline along with the product, quantity, delivery city, and need-by date before placing the order. For current details, you can review the Shipping and Delivery Process page.
What Should You Check to Prevent Order Delays?
- Is the desired product or sample image clear?
- Are the approximate dimensions and total quantity correct?
- Is the highest quality version of the logo file ready?
- Have names, titles, dates, and phone numbers been checked?
- Have QR links been tested on a phone?
- Has it been checked that the NFC link is correct and accessible?
- Is the viewing permission for file links open?
- Is the final version clearly indicated for multiple files?
- Was the bulk order list prepared with separate columns?
- Is the number of people on the list the same as the order quantity?
- Is the person who will give the design approval determined?
- Have the exact need-by date and delivery city been shared?
Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Designed Products
Do I have to prepare the design myself for a custom product?
No. It is sufficient to send your logo, the text to be used, the sample you like, and your expectations regarding the product. A basic layout can be prepared according to the product. Comprehensive logo or illustration work is evaluated separately.
Can I order a single personalized product?
Many plaques and custom products can be prepared as a single unit. Some promotional items, contract manufacturing products, or items requiring special materials may have a minimum order quantity. Precise information is provided based on the selected product.
In what format should I send my logo?
Vector files such as CDR, PDF, AI, EPS, and SVG provide the best results. If you do not have these, you can use a high-resolution PNG, preferably with a transparent background. Small screenshots may reduce print quality.
Can I send a design I prepared in Canva?
Yes. Export your design as a high-quality PDF. Additionally sending the original file of the logo used will facilitate the pre-print check.
Can I see the design before the product is printed?
Yes. The content to be personalized and the layout are submitted for your approval before production. Production begins after the necessary information is provided and the design is approved.
How many days does it take to prepare personalized products?
Most products are typically prepared in 1–3 business days after the necessary information and approvals are completed. Large quantities, custom cuts, revisions, stock status, and high demand may affect production time. Shipping transit time is not included in this period.
Can a different name be written on each product in a bulk order?
For eligible products, a different name, title, date, or award information can be applied to each piece while maintaining the same design. It is recommended to send this information in an Excel file with separate columns.
Can I make changes after approving the design?
If production has not started, your request may be considered. If printing, cutting, or personalization has begun, reproduction costs may apply for changes. Therefore, you should carefully check all text and links before approval.
When should I send the QR or NFC link?
Links must be provided before the design and programming stage. Ensure the link to be used is correct, active, and accessible via phone. Whether a link can be changed later depends on the QR or NFC method used; please specify this requirement during the order process.
Can I have a custom product made if I only have a photo or sketch?
You can request a feasibility assessment by sending your sample photo or sketch. Dimensions, materials, and production methods can be re-planned to ensure technical feasibility.
Summary: What is the Most Important Point in Ordering Personalized Products?
You do not need to have a print-ready professional file to have a personalized product made. Sharing the intended use, approximate dimensions, quantity, your logo, the texts to be used, and your deadline is sufficient to begin the process.
For the best results, the highest quality version of the logo file should be sent, and names, dates, phone numbers, and QR/NFC links should be carefully checked during design approval. Production begins after the design is approved, and the product undergoes a final inspection before being packed and shipped according to its material.
