# Create a product: upload a design, configure it, and edit it later

A "product" on Printoteca is your **design applied to a base product** — a specific garment, in the colours and sizes you choose, with your label and your resale price.

There are two routes to creating one. Both end in the same place.

---

## Route A — start from the design

**Account → My Products → Add new design.**

1. **Upload your design file.** For best prints we recommend **300 DPI at the size you want it printed**.
2. **Give the design a title**, then click **Add**.
3. **Apply the design to base products.** Each product is configured individually.
4. **Choose a product** to customise.
5. **Position the design.** Resize and move it as you wish — it must not exceed the dotted area.
6. **Select the label.** On garments you can add a custom neck label, applied by **heat transfer (DTF transfer)** on the inside neck. Labels have no preview, so name them well. Accessories with no neck — caps, beanies, bags, aprons — have no label option. Configure your labels first in "Configure your POD brand."
7. **Set a resale price** (optional). The profit is calculated automatically.
   > If a product has multiple price ranges, make sure your final price covers all of them.
8. Click **Create product**. If a warning appears, click **Continue** — we recommend at least 150 DPI for t-shirts.

Your product is created. Use the **⋯ menu** on the product for more options, like export or edit.

## Route B — start from the catalogue

If you're browsing the shop and find a product you like:

1. **Choose a product category**, then select the product from the list.
   > Planning to sell on Marketplace? Filter for **Base products** — not every product and colour is available for marketplace selling.
2. **Scroll down and add a design** to the chosen product.
3. **Select a design** from your saved collections.
4. **Set your label and resale price.**
5. Click **Create product**, then **Continue**.

## Editing an existing product

From **My Products**, open the design's menu → **Manage**. Click the product you want to edit, then **Manage** again.

Say you want a pocket-sized version of an existing design: resize and reposition it, then click the settings button. You get two options:

- **Save Changes** — overwrites the same product.
- **Save as new product** — creates a second product with the new placement, keeping the original intact.

That second option is the fast way to build a family of products (full-front, pocket, back print) from one design.
