Hi All,
I run a business from home which creates and sells edible wafer paper cake toppers. Generally we sell these as packs of 24 to go onto cupcakes, and pre cut them using a tool we've had designed to specifically fit our design template.
I'd like to be able to offer customisable toppers as I think we could do some good business. This would be as simple as changing a name, or age for instance on one of my designs to meet a customers need.
Currently to do this, I would have to...
1. open my master design file for the design ordered
2. edit the text to the customers requirements
3. save the image as a jpg
4. open my master template for printing
5. open my new jpg created and move into my printing template
6. resize the jpg, and copy and paste the image perfectly into each the 24 template positions 1 at a time
7. print, cut and pack the order
I estimate this would take around 15-20 minutes per design, which means I wouldn't make any money or would have to work 50 hours a day!!
Now - you are the experts, so over to you...
Is there a way that I can literally do steps 1 & 2 and then click print from the mast file (without having to save as a jpg) and photoshop will automatically take the file, resize and copy and paste into the template positions and print a perfect image ready for my specialized cutting tool to chop? This would cut 90% of the process in terms of time? Maybe I would need to create a jpg and some specific software to do this which I may need to be written or maybe there is something that does this already? Maybe there is a photoshop add-on which can do this?
I'd love to hear your ideas, and hopefully you can help me with a solution!
Best wishes,
Joe |
