Custom Design Studio
Create your product artwork with Card2Tap AI, a Card2Tap designer, your own PDF, SVG or Illustrator file, or a template — then review, approve and order.
- What is the Custom Design Studio?Design Studio is where you create the artwork for your Card2Tap card, stand, name tag or sticker: with Card2Tap AI, a designer, your own file or a template.
- Create a design with Card2Tap AIDescribe your design by text or voice; Card2Tap AI plans the layout and Card2Tap draws it on your product’s exact print template. Each new design uses 1 credit.
- AI design creditsOne credit creates one new design or variation. Editing, favorites, compare and prompt help are free, and a design that fails gives the credit back.
- Describe your design by voiceChoose Describe by voice, speak, then check the words before anything is created. Your browser turns speech into text; Card2Tap receives only the text.
- Write a good design promptSay who it’s for, the feeling you want, your colours and what goes where. Improve my prompt rewrites it for free.
- Your Brand KitSave your logos, colours, business details and preferred style once. AI designs, templates and designers start from your Brand Kit.
- Design templatesProfessional Card2Tap layouts for every product, filled in from your details and Brand Kit. Change colours, layout and what shows — free.
- Upload PDF, SVG or AI filesUpload print-ready artwork as PDF, SVG or Adobe Illustrator (saved with PDF compatibility). We check it against your product before anything is printed.
- The artwork quality checkEvery design and upload is checked for size, margins, text, contrast, image quality, fonts, colours and the QR code, with a clear status and what to fix.
- Understanding DPIDPI is how many image pixels land on each inch of your product. Aim for the recommended resolution at print size; vector artwork has no DPI limit.
- Bleed and safe areasBleed is extra background past the cut line so no white edge shows; the safe area keeps text and logos away from the edge. See each product’s values.
- QR code requirementsThe QR code on your product opens your Card2Tap profile. It needs enough size, strong contrast and clear space; your card’s own link is added at production.
- Hire a Card2Tap designerA professional designer creates your design from your brief, with proofs you comment on. Extra design time is only ever added with your approval.
- Designer revisionsComment on a proof, pin the exact spot, and request changes. Revisions are included within your design time.
- Additional designer timeIf your design needs more than the included time, your designer asks first. You approve and pay the extra hours, or decline and keep every proof.
- Review and approve your designCheck every item on the final checklist, then approve. The approved version is locked for your order and is exactly what Card2Tap produces.
- Download your design filesAfter approval, download a preview PNG, the front and back as SVG, and the production PDF from your project.
- Use a design on another productAdapt an approved design to another product, or create a matching set. Each product gets its own layout and proof to approve — nothing is stretched.
- Team design templatesTeam owners and admins create one master design; Card2Tap makes a proof for each active member with their own details, keeping locked parts the same.
