Mockup of Product Base
Product mockup is a prototype image that lets your customer preview your product and design.
Mockups in Product Base will be later used in Campaign to show artwork on product.
All changes of printarea in mockup are just for preview purpose, they will NOT affect the final order design. For example: you can crop a printarea to half in mockup, but the final design will still be in full size.
If you Import product automatically from fulfillment services, there will be some default mockup images given by fulfillment providers. By default, Teeinblue will only import a first few Mockup Images from the Catalog. You can click on the Import from Supplier button to manually choose any images you want to import
Or, you can upload mockup manually for your product by clicking on "Upload" button.
Mockup images should be in .PNG or .JPG/.JPEG format.
Unlimited number of mockup images.
Size of each image should be less than 32mb.
To optimize speed, mockup after uploaded will be resized to maximum 960 x 960px in width or height (images smaller than 1000px will not be resized).
You can drag-and-drop the Mockup Images, to change its position.
If you add more mockup images to the Product Base of on-going Campaigns, you can choose whether to add them to your Campaigns immediately.
