About Products
Here are some examples of the kinds of products that might be available for ordering:
• Booklets, brochures, or specialized copy jobs for which you supply the content (typically a PDF).
You also customize the product with print options (type of paper, binding, and so on).
• Posters or banners (superwide format products) for which you supply the content. You also
customize the product with print options (substrate, color mode, wind slits, and so on).
• Application forms or course materials for which the content is fixed. You can still, however,
customize the product with print options (type of paper, stapling, and so on).
• Business cards, note cards, or promotional flyers that you can personalize. Products that you can
personalize fall into two categories:
• DSFdesign Studio products. Here you can personalize the product in various ways, for
example, position and size text, images, and shapes; add new text, images, and shapes; edit
and format text; or enhance images.
• Variable data products (VDPs). Here you can personalize the product by supplying data such as
a name and address and/or by adding an image. Sometimes you can create several versions of
the same product, each personalized differently, for example, 500 copies of a promotional
flyer, with each flyer addressed to a different prospect
• Logo merchandise, coffee mugs, or boxes of pencils (non-print or fulfillment products). Here no
customization is required.
Each kind of product follows a slightly different order/customization workflow, after which you add
the product to the shopping cart. At this point you can either check out and place your order or
continue shopping and check out later. Your final order may therefore include several products (also
referred to as jobs).
 Some products may be packaged together in a kit. For example, a wedding kit might include an
invitation photo card, envelopes, a wedding program, and some key chains. Each product that
makes up the kit is customized individually (if applicable), but the order is placed for the kit itself.
