How does the ordering process at Onlineprinters work?

The core element of your print order is the artwork. You can create the artwork files yourself and upload these after checkout. Or you can quickly and easily design your product online with the help of our free tool. Your design will then be automatically converted into printable files by the system and transferred to us during the ordering process.

1. Select the desired product

Choose your print product and decide on the suitable format. Specify the quantity and material as well as additional options, such as folding, finish and much more on the product page.

The price of the product and shipping as well as an estimated delivery date will be calculated on the basis of your selection and displayed directly.

2. Your artwork – the core element

In order to process your print designs, we require your artwork in PDF format. Many products offer you the option of uploading your own artwork or creating your design online.

Do you want to create your own artwork? Click on “Use your own artwork” and go on with your ordering process. You can find everything you need to know about creating artwork files under “Artwork information”. Our free design templates are also at your disposal.

Important:

The upload of your artwork files is the last step after you have purchased your print products.

You have neither a graphic designer nor design software?

No problem! Lots of our print products, promotional items and trade fair supplies can be created online easily and free of charge. Select “Design online” and create your own design – without extra software or graphic design expertise. >>> Find out more about “Design online”

3. Order product: select payment option, shipping method etc..

Select the desired delivery date (shipping method) and add your print product to the shopping cart. Now you can either add further products to your shopping cart or click on “Show shopping cart” to go to checkout.

Do you have a voucher or a discount code?

Enter this code under “Add voucher” and save money. The amount to be deducted will be displayed directly. Only one discount code per order can be used.

Do you want to organise your print products better?

Click on “Add reference” under the product name to optionally specify an individual reference text for your print project, e.g. “Summer festival invitation”.

To finalise your order, please click on “Proceed to checkout” and log in to your customer account. Specify the desired shipping and return address, and select the payment method. Here you can once again adjust the shipping method if necessary. Make the final check of your entries and click “Buy” to accomplish your order.

4. Upload your artwork – green light to printing

Nearly there! We will start with printing your ideas as soon as we receive the confirmation of your payment – depending on the payment method – and obtain your artwork.

The files can be uploaded directly after your order or at a later point. The upload link can be found both in the order confirmation sent to you per e-mail and in your customer account. Please check whether all relevant files have been uploaded. Once you have uploaded your artwork files, you can no longer make changes to them! Finalise the upload by clicking the button.

The project so dear to your heart is now in our hands. We bring your print ideas to life – with full print power and attention to detail.

Note:

The uploaded files will directly be checked for their suitability. If some important basic requirements, such as resolution, are not met, a corresponding message will be displayed. This will allow you to correct your artwork.

Have you designed your print product online? Then there is no need for any further steps. Your design will be automatically converted into printable files by the system and transferred to our production during the ordering process. Simply sit back and relax – soon you will be holding your print project in your hands.
