At SelfPackaging we have created an \u201cOnline Printing Software\u201d, so that everybody, whether you are a professional or a novice in the packaging sector, can get their hands on unique boxes. In this post we will show you how to use it, so the first thing you have to do is go to our <a href=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/\">SelfPackaging<\/a> website.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2667 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/print-boxes.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"919\" height=\"489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/print-boxes.png 993w, https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/print-boxes-300x160.png 300w, https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/print-boxes-768x408.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 919px) 100vw, 919px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The majority of cardboard boxes are available to be personalised with the Configurator, and if one of your favourites isn\u2019t there, it surely will be soon enough! To access it, go straight to the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/108-custom-printed-boxes\">Print boxes<\/a>\u201d section and choose which type of box fits the best (amount, size and colour). To start personalising it, you can click on \u201cPRINTING\u201d on the tab for each product. It\u2019s really easy to find, it\u2019s in section 3 \u201cCOLOUR\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2668 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/print-boxes-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"917\" height=\"523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/print-boxes-2.png 967w, https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/print-boxes-2-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/print-boxes-2-768x438.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 917px) 100vw, 917px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When you click, on the right in the box you will be asked if you want to personalise just one side or the entire cardboard box. Select the option that you want and the \u201cDESIGN\u201d button will turn orange. Click again to go to the Configurator. There will be some warnings and instructions that will appear on the screen which we recommend that you read carefully so that you don\u2019t have any issues with your printed order. When you have read them and you are ready to start, click on the orange \u201cACCEPT\u201d button.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Printed_boxes_One-side_edition\"><\/span><u>Printed boxes: One-side edition<\/u><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once you have your chosen printed box, the first thing you need to do is give the project a name. When you have done so, you will see that you have different options. But don\u2019t worry! The system is very easy to use and user-friendly, so you won\u2019t have any problems when editing them if you don\u2019t have any design experience.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2669 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Print-boxes_3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"915\" height=\"446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Print-boxes_3.png 1809w, https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Print-boxes_3-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Print-boxes_3-768x374.png 768w, https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Print-boxes_3-1024x499.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 915px) 100vw, 915px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We are going to guide you a little bit more through the menus. On the left-hand side, you have the tool bar. The first feature (at the top) is your image gallery. Here you can upload the photos you want to use them when you want. Also, if you are a registered user, they will be saved in your folder. The second, the \u201cT\u201d, is for texts and here you can write about your cardboard box. From the bottom to the top, the functions are: add text, change source, change the letter size, text colour and text alignment You also have the icon of a folder. The designs that you are creating will be stored there, so you won\u2019t have to redo them each time you want to go back to your designs. Right at the bottom, by clicking on \u201c3D Preview\u201d you can see how your design will look in 360\u00ba.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On the upper-right side, you can find more functions. Due to the fact that we are only editing one side at the moment, the \u201cA side\u201d icon will appear by default. The icon on its right corresponds to the \u201cInstructions\u201d icon, if you need help, and from the bottom to the top we have: the \u201cCentre\u201d button, if we have moved around the editor, the \u201cSend to back\u201d button, so that if there are overlapping elements, we can put them in order with this button, and the \u201cEliminate\u201d option, if we decide to delete the project. Below, we have the \u201cSave\u201d button, if we want to leave the project half-way through and continue later on, and the \u201cFinish design\u201d button if we like the result and we want to have it delivered as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Printed_boxes_Editing_all_the_sides\"><\/span><u>Printed boxes: Editing all the sides<\/u><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you have decided to edit all the sides, the process is slightly different because when you click on design after selecting the option, a warning will appear to choose whether we want to use the configurator, or if on the other hand, we have more design knowledge, we can choose the \u201cProfessional design\u201d option.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2670 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/print-boxes-2-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"915\" height=\"523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/print-boxes-2-1.png 967w, https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/print-boxes-2-1-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/print-boxes-2-1-768x438.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 915px) 100vw, 915px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If we choose the \u201cProfessional design\u201d option, we must click on \u201cDownload the cut-out\u201d to start the download, edit it in our favourite editing programme and then, on the same screen, click on \u201cUpload your design (PDF)\u201d to upload the edited project in PDF format. Be sure to have read the conditions about the PDF before uploading it. You will have to prepare it for printing.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2671 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Print-boxes-6.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"912\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Print-boxes-6.png 1812w, https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Print-boxes-6-300x110.png 300w, https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Print-boxes-6-768x282.png 768w, https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Print-boxes-6-1024x376.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 912px) 100vw, 912px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you have chosen the \u201cOnline design\u201d, the menus are exactly the same as the ones for the one-side design.
