We sell downloadable artwork. Finished mugs, clothing and other products shown in mockups are examples of how a design could look, rather than physical items included with your order.
- Start with your blank. Check its printable area and the supplier’s template before choosing a wrap, coaster or other shaped design. A design shown on one product may need a different layout for another.
- Check the files included. Read the individual listing for formats, dimensions and contents. JPEG and PNG are image formats; do not assume a listing includes an SVG cutting file or editable lettering unless it says so.
- Match the artwork to your project. Think about shape, background and whether you need room for personalisation. Check your software supports the supplied files.
- Read the licence. Check the permitted uses and any quantity limits before selling finished products or arranging third-party printing. The product details and applicable licence take priority.
- Keep your order details handy. If you need help with a download or choosing a file, contact us with the product link and your order number where relevant.
