There are 4 ways to customize your products when designing on Bonfire, which are represented by tabs in the Design Tool.
1. Pick products - Upon selection, you will have the ability to add a maximum of 9 products to your Campaign for your design to be printed on. In addition, clicking the 4 colored dots (shown below) will reveal alternate color choices.
Note that Campaigns and custom orders can only contain products from a single group. See Understand Product Groups for more information.
2. Add text - Once you add text, you can change your font, font variation in either bold or italic, and text color to create unique text orientation and layout.
3. Add graphics - First choose a graphic or find the perfect one with the search bar. In addition to the ability to flip graphics vertically or horizontally, the options to customize graphics are similar to those of customizing text. TIP: Select multiple graphics for a layered design.
4. Upload art - Upload custom artwork directly from your device. Bonfire’s design tool supports both raster and vector images – including AI, PDF, EPS, JPG and PNG. Make sure your art is the highest resolution possible. Check out Uploaded Artwork & Preferred File Types for more information.
Note that Full Color printing is available for images with more than 8 colors but subject to lower profit margins. Just click “Original” in the Optimize pop-up to access it. There are some cases where your design cannot be optimized. If this is the case, you will see a modal that only gives you the option to continue with full color printing.
Full Color printing only works with uploaded artwork. You cannot use more than 8 colors when creating a design in the design tool.
