Design Your Custom Product Online
Our free online design tool puts the creative process in your hands. You can design your custom shirt, sign, banner, or other product directly in your browser without needing design software, professional experience, or a pre-made artwork file. The tool offers a library of design templates, fonts, clipart, and layout options that make it easy to create a professional-looking design even if you have never used a design application before.
You can also upload your own artwork files — logos, images, and custom graphics — and use the tool to position and size them on your product. This makes the online designer useful for both complete beginners who are starting from scratch and experienced designers who have existing brand assets and want to visualize how they will look on a finished product. Once you are satisfied with your design, submit it to us and we will review it before production to confirm it will print correctly.
Our online designer is available from any browser on any device, so you can work on your design at home, at the office, or anywhere with an internet connection. We serve businesses, organizations, and individuals throughout Joliet, Shorewood, Plainfield, and Will County. Call us at (815) 349 8600 if you need design assistance or have questions about the tool.
From Design to Doorstep
Once you complete your design in our online tool, the ordering process is straightforward. Submit your design, select your product specifications — size, quantity, garment type, or sign material — and we receive your order for review. Our production team checks every submitted design for print quality, resolution, and layout accuracy before we start production, so you never receive a finished product that does not match what you expected.
If your submitted design has any issues — resolution that is too low for the intended print size, text that is too small to read clearly at production scale, or any other potential problem — we contact you before production begins rather than printing something that will not meet your standards. We would rather take a few extra minutes to communicate about a potential issue than ship a product that disappoints you.
Most orders are ready within two to five business days depending on the product and quantity. We offer local pickup at 121 Springfield Avenue in Joliet for customers in the area, as well as shipping for customers throughout Will County and beyond. Call us at (815) 349 8600 to discuss your design needs or to get assistance using the online tool.

How Our Online Design Tool Makes Custom Printing Accessible to Everyone
One of the most common reasons people hesitate to order custom printed products is not knowing what they want or not having a design ready. The online designer eliminates both of these barriers. With a library of templates, fonts, symbols, and layout options, you can explore design ideas in real time and see immediately what they look like on your chosen product. The tool takes the blank page intimidation out of custom design and replaces it with an interactive, exploratory experience that most people find genuinely enjoyable.
No Design Experience Required
The online designer is built for non-designers. You do not need to know how to use Photoshop, Illustrator, or any other professional design software to create a great-looking custom product using our tool. The templates are pre-designed by professionals and can be customized with your text, colors, and uploaded graphics to create a result that looks polished and intentional without requiring professional design skills. If you can type and click, you can design a custom shirt or sign with our tool.
Upload Your Own Art
If you already have a logo, photograph, or custom graphic that you want to use, the online designer accepts uploaded image files that you can place, size, and position on your product. This makes the tool equally valuable for businesses with established branding that need to apply their existing assets to custom products as it is for individuals and organizations creating something from scratch. Whether you are uploading a vector logo for a business shirt order or a custom image for a personal gift, the upload function handles it straightforwardly.
Visualize Before You Commit
One of the most valuable features of the online designer is that it lets you see your design on the product before you order anything. Rather than describing what you want to a print shop and hoping the result matches your vision, the online designer shows you a visual representation of your final product as you build it. This instant visual feedback loop lets you experiment with different text, layouts, and design elements without committing to any of them, making it much easier to arrive at a design you are genuinely happy with before you place your order.
When You Need More Than the Tool Offers
Our online designer covers most common custom product design needs, but some projects call for professional design assistance beyond what a self-service tool can provide. For complex logos, custom illustration, intricate multi-element layouts, or design concepts that require professional graphic design expertise, our in-house design team is available to take your project from concept to print-ready file. The online tool and our human designers are complementary resources — use whichever one fits your project best, or use the tool to sketch an idea and then bring it to us to refine and finalize.
We are a veteran owned design and print shop at 121 Springfield Avenue in Joliet, Illinois. We serve businesses, organizations, and individuals throughout Will County and the Chicagoland area with online design tools, professional design services, and full in-house production capabilities.
Call us at (815) 349 8600 if you have questions about the online designer or need design assistance with your custom product order.
