Generic Product: a product that is not customizable, customers will be given the option to add this type of product to their cart without adding any type of custom element (examples: ink bottle, ink pad).

 

Customizable: a product that allows the customer to design their imprint using the Custom Vantage Web™ system.

 

2-Color Customizable: a product that allows the customer to design their imprint with a selection of 2 different areas of the imprint using 2 different colors.

 

Customizable with Layout: a product that allows the customer to design their imprint with pre-existing requirements set by you, the shop owner.  This type of product provides you with control over the customer's final design, limiting the space or alignment, or area allowed to customize on the product.
