Graphic Net Print Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Fushimi-ku, Kyoto; CEO: Yoshio Nishino) has completely revamped the user interface (UI) of the 'Goods Simulator,' a feature within its 'Graphic' online printing service that allows users to create original merchandise.

The 'Goods Simulator' is a service where customers can easily design and order custom goods, such as T-shirts and tin badges, directly on the website. This renewal significantly improves operability. In a smartphone environment, after uploading images or illustrations, users can intuitively perform layout operations like resizing and rotating with just one hand. Furthermore, the display speed for text input and stamp placement features has been increased compared to the previous version, ensuring a smoother design process. Because users can check the final image on the spot, even those new to merchandise creation can use it with confidence. Once the design is complete, it can be ordered immediately through the company's online printing service and delivered according to the specified deadline.

A key focus during development was the preview screen. It composites the layout design image onto actual material images of the merchandise, allowing users to confirm a realistic finished look. For example, with the most popular 'Heavyweight T-shirt,' fabric images of 31 color variations are incorporated for the composite preview. This feature was meticulously developed to minimize issues where the delivered product 'differs from the imagined' design.

The renewed simulator currently supports the creation of T-shirts, badges, and tote bags out of the 40 merchandise items offered. The 'Heavyweight T-shirt' is available in 12 sizes from children to adults and 31 colors, and can be ordered from a single piece (Reference price: from 1,003.3 yen including tax per piece for junior size 100 / white / 1-location print / 12-day delivery / order of 200 pieces). Other options like 'Super Heavy T-shirts' and 'Lightweight T-shirts' are also available to suit various budgets and needs.

For 'Tin Badge and Tin Mirror Printing,' various shapes and sizes (e.g., 22-76mm diameter) are available in hook pin, safety pin, magnet, and mirror types, orderable from a single piece (Reference price: from 37.9 yen including tax per piece for hook pin round 25mm / standard type / 10-day delivery / order of 100 pieces). 'Tote Bag Printing' comes in S, M, and L sizes and 5 fabric colors, allowing full-color creation from a single item (Reference price: from 770 yen including tax for S size / natural / single-sided print / 10-day delivery / order of 1 piece).

Requiring no specialized knowledge, this easy-to-use tool is planned to support all merchandise items handled by the company in the future.
