How it Works

This page explains the easy steps to creating your own branded products and the things to know about before you start

Your logo – you can upload files in JPG, PNG, PDF, EPS or AI. Make sure to check the quality of the file – the system will show you a warning if the file is low quality, as this can affect the result – your label may be fuzzy once printed.  The minimum is 1322 x 446 pixels.

Colours – If any elements of your design (for example your product name, background, shapes, stripes etc) are coloured, you’ll need to know the RGB value of the colours. These are often in a format like RGB(255,0,0) or just 255,0,0.

Text Content – You can add text to the design – change the name of the product to match your brand style if you wish. Having everything spellchecked and sitting in your word processor can make the design process much easier and quicker.

READY TO GO?  

1. Create your free account on the Iris website  (or log in if you already have an account) – this allows you to save your design halfway and finish it later.  You can also keep your finished design and use it for your next order.

2. Choose the product you want to customise and click the 'Customise' button. This opens the Customiser window:

On the left-hand side of the Customiser window, are the following options:

  • Back - Return to the product page
  • Zoom in 
  • Zoom out
  • Undo 
  • Redo
  • Reset (this is particularly useful if you want to abandon your design and start again)

Finally, you'll also see the 3D preview window.  This is where you will be able to view, twist and rotate your branded product in three dimensions. 

Tip: It's a good idea to save your design several times during the design process. Finally, when you've completed your design, remember to click 'Save design' again before adding to cart.
