Web-to-print products and what each editor must handle
A web-to-print platform has to handle each print product's own editor, geometry and print-ready output: spine and cover wrap for a photobook, edge wrap for canvas, print areas for apparel, dielines for packaging. This page lists nine products, what each asks of the editor and the file, and the page that covers it.
A canvas configurator decides what shows on the wrapped edge before the file is built. Web2Print Solutions engineers the gallery wrap, mirror wrap and colour-edge options, the extra canvas each wrap needs from the frame depth, a browser 3D edge preview, and resolution warnings for oversized low-resolution images. Wall art and posters share the same geometry.
A photobook editor turns a customer's page count and layout choices into a print-ready book. Web2Print Solutions engineers the page-count steps, a spine width calculated from page count and paper caliper, a cover that wraps around that spine with a hinge, image resolution warnings, and separate book-block and cover PDFs a bindery can produce without manual repair.
A t-shirt designer places artwork inside defined print areas per garment and size, then outputs a different file depending on whether the shop prints direct-to-garment, screen, or direct-to-film. Web2Print Solutions engineers the placement rules, the colour-count and file differences between the three methods, the customer mockup, and the print-ready output each method needs.
A banner and signage configurator turns a customer's typed width and height into a print-ready job: it works out how many panels a wide-format printer must tile, applies hems, grommets and pole pockets per edge, and adds bleed and finishing marks to every panel a sign shop's production line can run without manual rework.
A business card editor for B2B printing locks the template layout while leaving only approved fields, such as a name and title, open to each employee. Web2Print Solutions engineers the double-sided sync, bleed and safe area, spot UV and foil as separate finish layers, and an approval step before a batch reaches print.
A photo calendar designer generates a date grid for a chosen start month and length, places each locale's public holidays on the correct day, and pairs every month with a photo slot inside a binding-hole safe zone. Web2Print Solutions engineers the date-grid and locale rules and the print-ready month and cover output a bindery can run.
A packaging design tool imports a dieline, maps each flat panel to a face of the folded box, and renders a 3D fold preview before the customer approves. Web2Print Solutions engineers that panel mapping, the substrate choice behind the fold rules, and a print-ready flat file that keeps the structural dieline as a separate, locked layer.
A promotional product designer places a customer's artwork inside the imprint area of one item at a time - a mug's wrap, a pen's barrel, a bag's panel - then routes it to the file a decoration method needs: a single-colour vector path for engraving, or a full-colour raster file for print. Each item and method has its own rules.
A sticker or label editor turns uploaded artwork or a shape template into a cut path offset from the artwork's edge. Web2Print Solutions engineers that auto-traced contour, the choice between kiss-cut and die-cut, roll or sheet layout, material and finish rules, and a print-ready file that carries a separate named cut layer.
Which print products does a web-to-print platform have to handle?
A buyer researching a print product asks a narrower question than a buyer researching an industry or a symptom: how does a customer build a photobook and get a print-ready cover with the right spine? Each product has its own editor geometry and its own print-ready output, so a platform that handles flat cards well can still fail on a wrapped canvas. The table lists the nine products with a published page, what each asks of the editor and the file, and where to read more. Our engineering focus is web-to-print: product configurators, print pricing logic, print-ready output pipelines and integration with print production systems.

Reusable group components include a photobook engine with spine and cover-wrap geometry, a canvas designer with wrap settings and 3D edge preview, a garment designer with print-area placement, and 2D/3D/360 product previews; an engagement may reuse them under their own licence terms. For the other products in the table no delivered example is published on this page, and we do not imply one. Public stores that run these tools are listed under live web-to-print retail stores. More pages are added only when a product's geometry or output rules need their own page.
What does all-in-one web2print include?
An all-in-one web-to-print platform covers five parts. The table shows which parts W2P Solution includes and which are integrated or custom. Web2Print Solutions engineers custom web-to-print platforms to commission and also offers its own subscription product, W2P Solution, a white-label web-to-print store platform from Netbase JSC in three editions (Retail, B2B Procurement, Marketplace), hosted and upgraded by Netbase JSC on Netbase JSC VPS or Netbase JSC Cloud.
Part
Included in W2P Solution
Integrated or custom
Storefront
The store itself, in one of three editions
Existing Shopify, WooCommerce or headless stores through an integration
Online designer
A built-in designer: the buyer personalises a product in the store and the design is saved with the cart line
Custom configurators and browser design tools that emit print-ready artwork to an agreed specification
Pricing
Rules the merchant sets per product for options, quantities and sizes; the order keeps the accepted price
A custom print pricing engine for rules the product rules cannot express
Print-ready output
A print-ready PDF for each paid order line, kept with a checksum and trim and bleed boxes
PDF generation to a client-specified standard
Order to job
A production queue where the operator moves the status and the buyer receives the store's own emails
An adapter to an existing MIS, ERP or production scheduler where it exposes a sanctioned interface
Which products does the current W2P Solution release support?
The first release of W2P Solution supports flat print products such as cards, flyers and posters; further product types are planned and are not part of the current plans. Photobooks, wrapped canvas, packaging and similar products reach a store today through a custom build, not the first release.
What does a print-product page claim, and what does it not?
A print-product page owns the editor, geometry and file rules of one product. A buyer segment's whole workflow belongs to web-to-print engineering by industry, and the configurator, pricing or prepress engine behind any product belongs to the web-to-print engineering services. Web2Print Solutions is the web-to-print engineering service of Netbase JSC. Delivery records cited on this site belong to Netbase JSC; where no delivered example of a capability is published, the page says so rather than implying a record.
Frequently asked questions
What products can I sell with a web-to-print platform?
Flat products such as cards, flyers and posters are covered by the first release of W2P Solution. Other products in the table above are built to commission.
What is the difference between flat products and photobooks or packaging?
A flat product is one page with trim and bleed. A photobook adds a spine and cover wrap, and packaging adds a dieline and folded preview, so each needs its own editor logic and output files.
Do I need an online designer tool?
Only when the buyer must personalise the product. Fixed products can be ordered through options and a price rule, with artwork uploaded and checked before production.
Should I buy a platform or build one?
Buy when the products are flat and the platform's pricing and output rules fit. Commission a build when a product needs its own geometry, or an existing store and production system must stay in place.
What should you do next?
Read the page for your product, then describe your catalogue in a project brief: which products you sell today, which production method each one uses, and where your current editor or file handoff breaks down.
