PRINT-ON-DEMAND DESIGN GUIDE

Create digital designs for your Etsy+Printify store, not actual vintage items.

⚠️ WHAT WE CREATE (AND WHAT WE DON'T)

✅ WE CREATE:

  • • Original DIGITAL DESIGNS inspired by trends
  • • T-shirts, mugs, posters, phone cases, etc.
  • • "Vintage-style" or "retro-inspired" designs
  • • Original text, quotes, and graphics
  • • Cat themes, Christmas themes, hobby themes
  • • Generic "band-style" aesthetics (without band names)

❌ WE CANNOT CREATE:

  • • Actual vintage items or antiques
  • • Copyrighted band names (Metallica, Beatles, etc.)
  • • Brand logos (Nike, Disney, etc.)
  • • Sports team names or logos
  • • Movie/TV show characters or names
  • • Real vintage band merchandise

GOOD EXAMPLES:

"Retro 80s style cat lover gifts" • "Vintage-inspired Christmas kitchen decor" • "Rock and roll aesthetic coffee mugs" • "Boho style yoga accessories"

BAD EXAMPLES:

"Metallica vintage t-shirts" • "Disney character mugs" • "Real 1960s Beatles memorabilia" • "Nike swoosh designs"

Here's how to create original designs in 5 simple steps:

1. CONNECT PRINTIFY

Go to the Settings page and enter your Printify API Token and Shop ID. This is required to publish products to your store.

2. GENERATE IDEAS

Enter a niche or concept (e.g., "Trump Christmas Gifts"). Our AI will generate dozens of high-converting product titles, descriptions, and concepts for you.

Tip: Be specific! "Funny Dog Yoga" is better than just "Dogs".

3. SELECT FAVORITES

Review the generated list. Click the checkbox next to any product you want to bring to life.

4. GENERATE MOCKUPS

After selecting your products, click the "Mockups" button in the bottom bar to generate the images for the selected products. The AI creates the design art and places it on a realistic product mockup.

5. PUBLISH

Once you're happy with the mockups, click "Publish". This sends the product directly to your store, ready to sell!
