Render mockups
Make realistic pictures of a design on the product in each color, for quotes, proofs and stores.
Mockups show the customer what they're buying: the product picture in each color, with their artwork where it will print. They appear on the design, the quote, the proof and the quote printout, and in online stores.
Open the design
Go to Designs and open the design.
Render
Under Mockups, click Render mockups. If you have unsaved changes, the button says Save and render and saves first.
Look them over
A mockup is made for each design color (up to six) and each side that has a placement. The front is always included. Click one to see it larger.

When mockups are out of date
When you change a design after rendering, the editor shows Out of date: the design changed since these were rendered. Render again. and the Designs list shows Mockups out of date.
You don't have to remember to render before sending a quote: sending it renders fresh mockups for any design that changed, and puts them on the proof.
Where the pictures come from
SKUFlow uses the product's own picture for each color and view. If a color has no picture for a side, it uses another picture of that side, or a plain shape in the product color. To get the best mockups, make sure your products have front and back pictures per color. See Product pictures and decoration areas.
PDF artwork shows as a labeled box on mockups, because SKUFlow can't draw a PDF. Use PNG or SVG art for realistic mockups.
