Product Personalization & Live Design System

This product includes a professional real-time customization system that allows you to fully design your garment before placing your order.
To ensure your customization is saved and applied correctly, please follow the steps below in the exact order shown.

Step 1 — Select Color & Size (Required First)

Before starting any customization, you must first select:

• Your preferred Color
• Your Size

These selections are mandatory.
They activate the correct product variant in the system.

Important:
If Color and Size are not selected before clicking “Customize Your Design”, any design work you create may not be saved to your chosen product variant.
This may result in your customization being lost and the design process having to be repeated from the beginning.

Selecting Color and Size first ensures that all your customization work is permanently attached to the correct product.

Step 2 — Click “Customize Your Design”

After selecting Color and Size, click “Customize Your Design” located under the product title.
This will open the live design interface where you can instantly preview your artwork on the product.

The editor allows you to independently customize the following areas (availability may vary by product):

• Full Front
• Full Back
• Left Sleeve
• Right Sleeve

Note:
Print areas differ from product to product.
Some products support Front, Back, Left Sleeve, and Right Sleeve printing, while others may support Front and Back only.
Simply describe how you want your product to look — we will apply your design according to your instructions and the available print areas for that specific product.

All changes are reflected live on the product preview, allowing you to review your final result before checkout.

Step 3 — Select Print Areas & Pricing

After entering the editor, the first step is choosing where you want your design printed.

Please select the print areas you want to use:

• Front Print — Free
• Back Print — + $7
• Left Sleeve — + $5
• Right Sleeve — + $5

Only the areas you select and pay for will be printed.
If a placement area is not selected, no design will be applied to that section — even if artwork is uploaded.

This ensures you are only charged for the placements you actively use.

Step 4 — Front & Sleeve Customization

On the first customization screen, you will see three separate image slots:

• Image 1 → Full Front
• Image 2 → Left Sleeve
• Image 3 → Right Sleeve

You may upload your design to any of these areas.
The moment an image is added or replaced, the product preview updates instantly.

If you choose not to customize a specific area, simply leave the default image unchanged.
That area will remain blank and no design will be printed there.

File Upload Notice:
Uploading a design file is optional.
However, if you selected any print areas, uploading your artwork is strongly recommended for the best production result.

Step 5 — Back Customization

The second screen controls the back of the product:

• Image 1 → Full Back

If this image is left unchanged, the back remains blank.
If you upload a design, it will appear as a full back design in the live preview.

Step 6 — Choose Design Placement (Front & Back)

If Front Print is selected, choose one:

• Center Chest
• Left Chest
• Wide Chest
• Full Front

If Back Print is selected, choose one:

• Upper Back
• Center Back
• Full Back

These options control size, alignment, and overall visual balance.

Step 7 — Add Custom Text (Optional)

You may enter custom text to be added to your design.
This field is optional and supports up to 50 characters.

Use it for names, dates, short messages, slogans, or special notes.

Step 8 — Order Notes (Production Instructions) — Required

This is the most important part of your customization.

In the Order Notes section, please describe exactly how you want your product to look.

Step 9 — Upload Your Design
