  • Clear and elegant designs

Aligning blocks

You can easily activate the text blocks, image blocks and shapes together using the selection frame or shift key and align them to the desired edge with one click.

Move and delete blocks

The selected blocks can be moved, rotated or deleted together. If one of the actions is not permitted for one or more blocks in the selection in the settings, only the controls that are available for all blocks are activated.

Change text formatting

For text blocks, you can adjust the font, font size and other font properties together. The alignment of the text blocks is based on the size of the text frame, not on the current text length. If the text frame is too large or too small for the new font, it must be adjusted manually so that the text block can be aligned correctly. Please note the "Text will be cut off" note from the editor.

Adjust color and transparency

If several blocks of the same type are activated, the color can be adjusted for text blocks and shapes and the transparency can be adjusted for all blocks. If different settings are defined in the selected blocks, only the controls that are available for all blocks are displayed.

Image tags: precise control for image blocks

Image Tags

Precise control for imageblocks

Materials such as weekly menus, event programe or campaign flyers need to be updated frequently. A printformer template can be updated by different users or teams at several locations. This increases the likelihood of human error, especially if your media database is constantly growing. The new image tag feature is part of our media asset management system that allows precise control over image blocks.

Your advantages

  • User-friendly interface

  • Intuitive and fast design
  • Clear and elegant designs

You can use the tags to determine what type of images or graphics may be placed in the image blocks. If the blocks are filled by system media, users can only use the images that have the tag defined for the block. Whether printed or digital, your marketing materials and documents will always remain uniform and elegant.

Images of product categories

To prevent the wrong images from being placed in the image blocks, you can use the tags to define image categories, even within a media set. This means that only images to which this tag is assigned can be placed in the blocks for which the tag is defined, such as only appetizers or only locations.

Images in landscape or portrait format

You can also use tags to define the desired image format. This prevents portrait images from ending up in a landscape image block and causing layout errors.

Logos and decorative elements

You can also use tags to define what type of graphics may be placed in the image blocks. For example, users can only use logos or only decorative elements.

FLIXLEAD: Personalized advertising mailings with printformer.io

Take off in direct mailing with printformer.io

Having already realized a large number of projects with printofmer.io this year, such as classic print stores, one of the latest examples shows another possible application. The modular software architecture of our printformer version for Shopify offers our customers the opportunity to implement even the most demanding projects quickly and easily. With the launch of the new direct mailing portal from FLIXLEAD, we have now been able to successfully bring the area of personalized advertising mailings to the market for the first time with our combination of printformer and Shopify.

Implementing campaigns for promotional mailings with printformer.io and Shopify

While the parameters for print stores usually revolve around the print run, the desired format and the processing or finishing of print products, there are other points to consider for direct mailing. Thanks to the flexible customization options offered by printformer.io, however, no costly investments are necessary here. With the special version of our proven Web2Print technology printformer, we provide the customer with a toolbox that can be flexibly adapted to all project requirements. FLIXLEAD's newly published portal offers customers the opportunity to select a defined mailing concept in just a few steps, define a suitable distribution area and determine the required print run for the mailing. The recipient addresses essential for the mailing are provided directly via the direct mailing platform - eliminating the need for time-consuming research and saving additional costs.

Create layouts for personalized advertising mailings directly in printformer.io

In the end, however, all the preparation is useless if the layout of the mailing does not match the desired purpose or topic. The visual design of the advertising mailing, similar to the process in traditional print stores, can be designed directly online in a separate step in the printformer.io editor. Customers have a basic selection of ready-made designs at their disposal, which they can adapt to their individual requirements if necessary. Depending on their own ideas, clients who do not wish to use the templates provided can upload their own designs to ensure compliance with any CI specifications. Following the design process, the creation of print-ready data and the subsequent dispatch of the booked mailing concept is automatically handled via the FLIXLEAD platform and sent by post in compliance with all applicable GDPR requirements. Alexander Sperrfechter, Managing Director of rissc solutions GmbH, summarizes: "With our customer FLIXLEAD, we were able to show how versatile the printformer.io system is and what opportunities it also offers to industries that are not at home in the field of pure online printing."

Online store for personalized packaging with printformer.io

Online store for
personalized
packaging with

In recent months, many of our customers have been able to see for themselves how flexible our printformer version for Shopify, which was released this year, is. The implementation of SCHMID Druck+Medien GmbH's new online store "moviooo" shows that this is not only a suitable solution for obvious printing disciplines such as flyer printing or the production of business stationery.

Personalized packaging made simple

While it is usually possible to work with relatively few specialized functions within an online editor for simpler print products such as business cards, flyers or brochures, a greater range of functions is recommended for complex products from the areas of packaging and effect cards in particular.

For these use cases, our special printformer variant for Shopify impresses with numerous technical options that improve the user's design and purchasing experience. Especially in the product areas already mentioned, an uncomplicated and smoothly generated 3D print preview is invaluable. The 2D views of the required print templates, which sometimes appear abstract at first glance, make it difficult to check for design errors. This is where the integrated 3D preview of the printformerIO app helps to quickly and reliably identify and subsequently correct any incorrectly placed or faulty layouts. In the moviooo online store, all packaging and effect cards on offer can be smoothly animated in the 3D preview and incorrect orders or complaints are reduced.

"The 3D editor from printformerIO shows its strengths in this area and enables customers to personalize their desired products quickly and easily within the online editor. The necessary print data does not necessarily have to be designed in the online editor, but the uploading of already print-ready data is also supported. With the new "moovioo" online store from SCHMID Druck+Medien GmbH, we were once again able to demonstrate how flexible and powerful the combination of our special printformer version is in combination with the Shopify e-commerce platform and also that the special product category of packaging can be easily implemented with our technology," says CTO Sebastian Buck.

Customization even in small quantities

What was previously only possible for larger print runs is increasingly becoming the standard in the printing industry. Improved processes, greater cost efficiency in print production and lower costs for the implementation and operation of corresponding web-to-print publishing solutions are important factors here. The production of personalized print products from a quantity of 1 can thus be implemented easily. The low initial costs, the seamless and simple integration into the e-commerce platform Shopify and the technical basis of printformerIO, which has been established over many years, form the perfect basis. Smaller printing companies in particular now have the opportunity to digitally transform their own business without long planning phases, thereby increasing their chances of remaining competitive.
