This guide will walk you through the essential steps to prepare your design files and create high-quality mockup images using Printway’s professional templates.
Before you begin designing, you need the correct specifications from the Printway website.

Find the Product: Search for "Money" and select the Custom Shape Wooden Money Gift Card Holder.

The printing file is multi-layered, so it is important to follow the layout carefully to ensure a perfect finished product.
1- Open the Template: Use Adobe Illustrator to open the template file.
2- Review the Layout: The template features four design areas corresponding to the four wooden layers of the product.
Layer 1: Front and back side (3mm wood).
Layer 2: Front and back side (3mm wood).
Layer 3 & 4: Additional layers for depth (3mm wood).
3- Design Requirements:
Custom Shapes: You can customize the outer shape, but you must include an Anti-sway pin (≥4mm ~ 11px) and a Card slot (58 x 90mm).
Safe Zone: Ensure all text and important artwork remain within the designated "Safe Zone" to avoid being cut off.
Stroke Width: Maintain the minimum size of each stroke is 35px - 3mm.
Save Your Work: Follow the notes on the file typically, files should be submitted in EPS format with all text converted to outlines (Create Outlines).
A realistic mockup is key to attracting customers. Here is how to assemble yours in Adobe Photoshop.
1- Open the Mockup File: Open the downloaded .TIF mockup file in Photoshop.
2- Import Your Design: Drag your completed design from Adobe Illustrator directly into the Photoshop mockup window.
3- Position and Mask:
Place your design over the appropriate layer.
Create a Clipping Mask: Right-click your design layer and select "Create Clipping Mask" to fit the artwork perfectly to the wooden shape.
4- Apply Effects: To add realism, copy the shadow and depth effects from the template layers by holding Alt and dragging the "Effects" icon to your new design layer.
5- Finalize and Export: Once your front and back designs are placed and masked, export the image as a high-quality JPEG or PNG for your store listing.
By using these templates, you ensure that your custom shapes are both beautiful and functional. High-quality mockups allow your customers to see the 4-layer depth and professional finish of the wooden holder before they buy.
