The Problem

Selling Custom Aprons Shouldn't Mean Manual Artwork.

Without PrintXpand

Manual, Error-Prone Process

  • Customers email logos in random formats for apron printing
  • Staff manually position artwork on apron templates
  • No real-time preview — misprints on pocket placement
  • Bulk hospitality orders require manual name entry per apron
  • No way to enforce brand color restrictions for corporate clients
With PrintXpand

Automated, Self-Service Design

  • Customers design in-browser with live apron preview
  • Print zones auto-positioned for bib, pocket, and waist areas
  • Real-time preview across all apron print zones
  • Bulk name personalization via CSV upload for staff aprons
  • Brand-locked templates with restricted color palettes
What You Get

Key Features for Your Apron Business.

Multi-Zone Apron Editing

Customers design across front bib, chest pocket, waist ties, and back panel — each zone with independent print area boundaries configured to your apron templates.

Embroidery & Print Output

Generate production-ready files for embroidery (DST/PES), screen print, DTG, and DTF. The tool auto-formats output based on your configured decoration method per zone.

Staff Name Personalization

Restaurants and hospitality groups upload a staff roster — each apron gets a unique name or role title embroidered or printed. Bulk personalization without manual data entry.

Brand-Locked Templates

Create templates where corporate clients can only modify specific elements — logo placement fixed, colors restricted to brand palette, fonts pre-approved. Full brand compliance on every order.

Real-Time Pricing

Price updates live as customers add embroidery, change print methods, or increase quantities. Supports tiered pricing, MOQs, and decoration-specific surcharges.

Print-Ready File Generation

Every completed design outputs a production-ready file — positioned, scaled, and formatted for your specific equipment. No pre-press rework required.
