Importing an Imprint layer

What is an imprint layer

Imprint layer or simply imprint is a technical layer and is mostly used for non-editable information like company's logos, slogans, barcodes, and similar details. The usage of the imprint layer is completely optional.

  • Imprint layer dimensions have to match the print area artwork dimensions.
  • It is not possible to edit imprint layer after upload so pay close attention to the artboard dimensions you are creating an imprint layer at. They are supposed to match the print area size which is set in the Smart Customizer app.
  • Layer can be uploaded in .pdf file format only. Please note that PDFs exported from Canva are not supported.
  • Imprint layer is visible in the design editor and product preview.
