Make a Design Available For Sale
Proofing Process
If you want to sell your designs in the Spoonflower Marketplace, you are required to order a sample of your design. You can proof your design on any product type with any size for fabric, wallpaper, and home decor.
Typically the Test Swatch size on any fabric or wallpaper option is fine, but larger scaled designs may require more. Get the best deal when you proof up to 42 designs on our Cheater Quilt 6" Squares Fill-a-Yard® template.
The reason for the proof is that the colors you see on your computer monitor may come out differently when printed and there can be issues with your files that aren’t apparent until printed.
Make sure to check that the color, image resolution, and repeat all match how the design should look. To check the repeat of your design prior to checking out, go here: Checking for repeat flaws in designs.
After your proofing order has been shipped and received, the option to make a design available for sale will become available. It is not possible to make a design available for sale in advance of this time.
Swatch Samplers
In an effort to help reduce the cost of proofing designs, we offer a Swatch Sampler. The sampler is like an old-fashioned contact sheet; it prints an 8in x 8in (20cm x 20cm) swatch of each design from a collection onto a single piece of fabric.
Pricing
The price of a swatch sampler depends on the number of designs and the fabric selected:
- 1-5 designs start at US$12.00
- 6-15 designs start at US$20.00
- 16-30 designs start at US$35.00
