Designing packaging products is easier when you provide ready-to-use templates. Instead of starting from scratch, customers can personalize a pre-defined design that’s matched to the product’s settings.

Step 1: Find the packaging product you want to create a template for. Open the product (for example, a Straight Tuck Box) and review its settings so you can match them when building the template.

Step 2: Open the Templates module.

Click Add New Template to start a new template.

Step 3: Enable the template. Make sure the Enable Template toggle is on.

Step 4: Assign the template to the correct store. Click Assign Stores and choose the store where the product exists.

Step 5: Name and categorize the template. Enter a template name (such as Straight Tuck Template Example), pick a category, and optionally add a thumbnail image or description.

Step 6: Select the personalization profile.

Match the Personalization Profile to the one used for your product.

Step 7: Choose Packaging Model and set Dimensions. Pick the correct packaging model (like Straight Tuck) and enter the width, length, and height to match your product.

Step 8: Click Submit to create the template.

Step 9: Open the template in the Design Studio. Click the green design icon to launch the Design Studio.

Step 10: Create your template design. Add backgrounds, artwork, and layout elements you want customers to start with.

Step 11: Save the template. Click Save to finalize your design.

Assign the Template to Your Product

Step 1: Open the product you want to assign the template to.

Step 2: Scroll to Assign Templates.

Set the template as the default or pick multiple options as needed.

Step 3: Select your template and click Done. Submit your changes and your template is ready to use.
