How it sells itself

Print Laser Pro connects storefront product customization with your shop's production workflow. Shoppers upload artwork, choose sizes and materials, preview their design, and order through Shopify. Manage products, synced pricing, orders, approvals, and production files in one place.

Sell custom patch hats, or patches on their own, without the back and forth. Shoppers pick a hat, shape, material and size, then upload a logo, type text or choose one of your designs, and see it on the hat before they buy. Engraved artwork is traced to vector automatically. Every order arrives in your Orders tab and production board with a file ready for your laser or printer.

Key points
  • AI image generation creates patch artwork from a prompt, plus background removal
  • Live mockup builder previews designs on 50+ materials, textures, and hats
  • Smart sizing calculates patch dimensions and area automatically as you design
  • Production-ready exports with auto cutlines for laser, UV, DTF, and embroidery
  • Patch builder on your product pages: upload, text, or pick your designs
  • Sell patch hats or patches on their own, laser engraved or UV printed
  • Production-ready SVG for every order, with cut line and edge finish
  • Turn your designs into SEO product listings, photos made for you
