Overview

PI Design, the brand of Passot Innovation, is a French designer and manufacturer of promotional products and corporate gifts, based in Le Coteau. What sets it apart is that it makes and marks in-house: plastic injection moulding and a large in-house marking operation, behind a catalogue that spans technology, drinkware, bags, writing instruments and everyday branded items. For a reseller, each of those products carries its own print area, method and colour rules that have to be handled before an order is production-ready.

PI Design products are live in FastEditor's Product Hub, with print areas and decoration methods attached to each product. A customer uploads a logo on your product page, the editor places it inside the real print area for that product and method, and the file that reaches production is vectorized, validated and ready to mark.

How the integration works

The PI Design connection keeps product data, images and decoration specifications in sync, so each product carries everything the editor needs to constrain and validate a design.

Three things travel with every product:

  • Print areas. The position, size and shape of each decorable area, so the editor holds a customer's design to what the product can physically take.
  • Decoration methods. Which techniques are available on that product, each with its own limits on colour count, line weight and resolution.
  • Product data and images. Variants, colours and imagery, so a logo previews on the product the customer is actually ordering.

Decoration methods

Screen printing, Pad printing, Laser engraving, Digital transfer, Doming

Artwork requirements

PI Design marks in-house across screen printing, pad printing, laser engraving, digital transfer and doming, and each method sets its own rules. FastEditor validates every upload against the rules for the chosen product and method before a production file is generated. The checks that run on each upload:

  • Minimum line thickness. Hairlines that fill in under pad printing or vanish under an engraving laser are caught while the customer is still in the editor.
  • Colour limits. Screen and pad printing carry a maximum number of spot colours per position, so an over-colour logo is stopped before it ships.
  • Resolution and DPI. Raster uploads are measured against the actual output size for the chosen product and method.
  • File formats. Customers upload JPG, PNG, PDF, AI or EPS. Automated vectorization turns the upload into clean paths.
  • Colour schema. Uploads convert to the colour space the method requires, with spot-colour matching where the method supports it.

How to start selling

  1. Start with the PI Design catalogue. The range is live in the FastEditor Product Hub with print areas and methods already attached to each product.
  2. Choose how customers experience it. Embed the Logo Editor on your webshop, or work in the Studio Tool for internal quotes.
  3. Design, preview and validate in one place. The logo sits inside the real print area and is checked against the product's colour and line rules before approval.
  4. A production file is generated on approval. FastEditor outputs the print-ready file and branded proof, matched to the product and decoration method.
