Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , — zazzlr @ 7:31 pm

Disney/Pixar’s newest animated feature WALL*E hits theaters today and I plan on seeing it this weekend, maybe tonight. Pixar has a good track record when it comes to movies, so I am looking forward to WALL-E. Since WALL-E launches today, I thought I would bring to attention again today that Zazzle has a killer line up of WALL-E products and Disney Products in general. Check out a few of my favorites below:

Things to know
  • You can have up to 10 placeholders in a product template.
  • You can lock certain elements on your design so they can’t be changed, moved or removed. Double-click the title of the element and add “#LOCKED#” (all caps, no quotes) in the pop-up prompt after the element name (which will NOT be in brackets). Be sure not to lock any customizable fields! As the creator, you can go back in and change this later.
Cool tips!
  • For transparent areas of your image, you will need to use PNG images with transparency (24- bit or 32-bit PNGs with alpha channel transparency). Partial alpha transparency and gradients are supported too.
  • Try creating borders and frames to outline images that people upload, and make sure they’re “on top” of the image placeholder using the up/down arrows on the element title bar. This works best with cards, mugs and stickers; with light apparel, it’s best to have a big white border around the edge of your frame to mask the edges of any photos people upload that are larger than your frame, but we don’t print the white box itself on light apparel. Note that we don’t recommend doing this for dark apparel since the white or black box would be printed.
Clever & creative uses for Profile Cards!

Templates – How to Make Your Products Customizable

One of the best & unique things about Zazzle is that people can customize designs to create truly one-of-a-kind products without a lot of work! Use design templates to simplify the customization process for your shoppers – all the customer has to do is fill in the blanks! Learn how to create templates for your gallery with our illustrated tutorial of the 3 basic steps, plus some important tips below. Also, here’s a video tutorial of a simple text template created by contributor, RudeRetro so you can see it in action:

www.metacafe.com/watch/1311994/how_to_make_a_custom_text_product_at_zazzle_com_fixed/

It takes just 3 steps to design your template:
Create a Zazzle product just as you normally would, including any placeholder images or text that you want to allow to be customized.
    • Go to “create” from the home page or MyZazzle & select a product
    • Select or upload your images (image guidelines)
    • Use the features on the “customize” and “apparel options” tabs to make your product exactly as you want it!

Label each of the placeholder image and text objects so they will show up as fields for people to fill in with their custom info:

      • Double-click the title of the element you want to be customizable.
      • You should see this prompt in a pop-up window (if you don’t please check the pop-up settings on your browser):

Click “Post for Sale” to post the product to the public gallery, or “Add to Cart” to finalize but keep it as a private product template. Be sure to check the boxes for “Customizable” and “This is a template”.
