The Online Designer
The online designer is integrated into almost all products on sedruck.de. For products such as the photo book, there are multiple designers: the designer for the inner pages and the designer for the book cover.
Where to find the online designer: The online designer for the book cover ("Book Cover") can be found under the item "Cover Options" - see Fig. 1.
For products such as flyers, cards or posters, the online designer can be found under "Additional Options" - see Fig. 2.
The Handcrafted Book and the Photo Book also have an online designer for the inner pages.
The advantages of the online designer
The online designer sets the correct format sizes for the products based on the selected number of pages and the paper. A PDF file is automatically generated from the online designer, which you can check in the shopping cart. You should download the PDF with one click and check whether all fonts and images are displayed well. If you agree, you can simply continue with the order. The cover PDF documents will then be saved with your order for printing.
If you have further questions, send an email or give us a call. We are happy to support you in designing your product!
