History And Problems of Printing Superstore in US

Working with 4over4 is a great experience for us. After finishing the first day of work, we said "Wow", they are really professional. 4over4.com is a one-stop printing superstore in America since 1999 that provides a wide range of printing products, from stickers; banners, basic printing like business cards, posters, envelopes… to packaging materials like tapes, boxes, tissue papers…

They shared that: "From the very beginning, passion at 4OVER4.com has been, and remains printing and producing superior quality prints with premium -and environmentally friendly- paper stocks" We feel their enthusiasm and dedication in their eyes. You know they considered is one of the top printing companies that provide super-fast production on printing products and low spices on all business printing services in the market. They have a UX-UI research team who take the time to find any issues that might cause dissatisfied customers to purchase products on the site. And one important thing, they solve problems very quickly, do they understand when to need an expert to solve the problem?

Listen to the problem of 4over4

First of all, 4over4 is a previous customer in CMSMART for printing website solution, we worked very professionally before and now they keep on contact us to customize some problems on the website 4over4.com. They would like to be able to convert .AI file format to .SVG file format on the NBdesigner editor. It could help them to save a lot of time when creating the design templates. That is smart customization for a printing website. 

Furthermore, you know that NBdesigner supports creating templates by creating one by one with the existing elements on the left sidebar or by uploading .PSD/.AI files to convert into templates. But in order to convert those .PSD/.AI files, you need to split them into elements (images, text) and then arrange them in the right position. (You could take a look at this tutorial about How To Convert PSD To Template For Online Designer for more information). This will cost you a lot of time for converting one by one .PSD/.AI files into NBdesigner templates. 

Time is money for every business. So the challenge here is to find a way to minimize the time spent on converting those files into NBdesigner templates.

An Initiative From Experts To Change Everything.

After researching and trying the 4over4’s problem, we think about converting those files into .SVG file format is the possible solution. Why?

A Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG) is a unique type of image format. Unlike other varieties, SVGs don’t rely on unique pixels to make up the images you see. Instead, they use ‘vector’ data. 

This file format stores images as a set of points and lines between points. Mathematical formulas dictate the placement and shape of these points and lines, and maintain their spatial relationships when the image is scaled up or down. Vector graphic files also store color information and can even display text. So it allows you to ungroup the layers, split them into elements, and change the color path…

After we employ this feature on 4over4.com, it allows admin to: 

  • Convert .AI files to SVG files when uploaded to NBdesigner page which can ungroup layer, change color...etc
  • Import function: As an admin, in the backend template management section, you can import an .AI file and it will automatically turn that .AI file into an editable template. 

With this solution, you could create tons of pre-made templates with design software like Adobe Photoshop, CorelDraw, or Adobe Illustrator... Save them in .AI files and then upload them to the NBdesigner solution to change them into editable templates. Your end-users could use those templates to design their products. Now creating premade templates on NBdesigner is as easy as cake. It not only helps to save a lot of time but also helps to improve the user experience on your website. Plus, with more wonderful design templates, you could impress your customers and make a lot of money. 

Some Important Notes 

Firstly, to employ this feature, your host needs to be VPS or dedicated hosting; a shared host will not work at all. 

Not all .AI files can be uploaded and converted correctly. Too complicated .AI files may cause problems after you ungroup the elements. When this happens, you might need to manually edit to correct or put them in the right position as you want. A tip for you to make sure your .AI file works or not, you can have a test on https://www.4over4.com/. Because we already employed the feature on this site, you can go there to test your .AI files first and try to modify them. Before testing, you could take a look at this guidance video for more information. And this one is for the import function.
