The Designer area is a drag and drop content editor that allows you to make a custom design for print on many of our products. The main features are described below.

Zoom Control The Zoom Control does not effect the actual print size of the product. It's purpose is to allow you to zoom in and out to make more detailed adjustments to the design. Textbox Features
Add New Textbox
Add New Textbox allows you to add more text blocks to the design.
Changing Font Family/Size You can use these to adjust the font family and/or size of any textbox in two different ways:
Textbox Edit Mode To enter into Text Edit Mode you must double click the textbox you wish to edit. Once you have done this it will be highlighted with a green box and you will be able to add/replace text, change font styles/families/sizes. To exit Text Edit Mode simply click somewhere outside the textbox. Increase/Decrease Textbox Font Sizes
The A+/A- buttons allow you to increase/decrease all of the font sizes
within a selected textbox in increments relative to one another.
If you have a text box with some text at a 12pt size and other text within the same
box at 16pt and you click A+, this will increase each size to the next
available size; 12 would go to 13 and 16 would go to 17. If 17 was not an available
font size it would increase to 18 or whatever might be the next available size.
The A- does the same thing but in reverse.
Adjusting Font Styles
You use these to adjust the font styles (Bold, Italic, or both) for the text selected.
Adjusting Text Alignment You use these to set the text alignment to either left right or center for the selected text.
Special Characters The Special Characters button opens up a popup that has all the different types of "special" characters we support. After opening the popup, enter Text Box Edit Mode and place the text cursor where you wish to insert the character. Once you have done this select the character you wish to insert.

of text within a textbox.
