Feedback for New product Launch of Printed Backpacks

[James]

Hi Creators, 

Have you seen the newest and handyest addition to the Zazzle Marketplace? Head over to our announcement here and get creative! We can't wait to see your designs and hear what you think! 

Have a great day! 

[Sara_H]

Love these! Thanks!

Any chance the texel density can be a constant please? I'm sure it would help designers place their artwork without having to do loads of  tweaking to get it to match

[Ms_Jade]

These look fun to design on! Thank you! I like the different ways you displayed them. One suggestion I I have is to add an additional model wearing the backpack. The current model is great for my masculine designs. I'd like to display my feminine designs on a different model.

[GraphicAllusion]

Yes, I second that. Also can we please have a child model too? I'm planning on making a lot of kids' ones. 😊

[Lais]

Yes, me too! I already started creating cute designs for kids. 😊 I love it!

Check this out 😉 Mathematical Geometric Formula Backpack

[Lais]

Man, I hate those types of math products, LOL. 😂 - I'm a math student.

But I'm sure there are math students who like it. 

[chuamishael]

yeah, I like this, more of a style, watching those numbers scatter around on a black board 😁

[Coloratissimo]

Please add a female model with a backpack on her back.

[KeegansCreation]

...and a child model

[SJoy]

I was actually coming to the forum to post about adding a woman, girl, and boy models.  My girly designs look funny on the adult man....But I suppose to each their own LOL. 🙂 I do love being able to design an all over print backpack. I hope more all over print products become available to design on.

A kid model would definitely be preferred for some designs to showcase the backpack 😊

[ArtVixen]

I like them, but it's difficult to line up a pattern seamlessly with so many panels. Is there a way to add a pattern to the entire background like on other products? 

[alissag]

The one issue I'm encountering when using seamless patterns on these is that even if I copy and paste a pattern tile for each "layer" it resizes the tile automatically and the pattern comes out smaller on the front pocket than on the front and larger on the top than on the front. I can go in and resize and try to get it as close in size to the pattern on the front as I can with my own eye, but it's not perfect, and it's kind of a pain.

[Artellus]

I noticed the same problem, so it takes a lot longer to have to resize a tile or pattern for each section. 

[ArtVixen]

Yeah, it would be helpful if what we copied was applied to each panel instead of being resized. 

[Polenth]

Seems pretty straight forward so far. One thing that might help others, make your tile "basic" rather than "centered". Then you can make the patterns the same size everywhere by changing the size of the pattern in inches. No need to struggle trying to size it by eye.

[SwissVillage]

Thank you so much for this extremely helpful information!  Really saved me on my first design which uses a tiled image.  I think I'll focus just on using tiles for these!  Kind of you to post this solution.

Meanwhile, for Zazzle, would be great if when we cut and paste our images from one section to another the correct sizing could be maintained (scaled so that each section matches).

[ArtVixen]

That doesn't work with patterns that are already made as a repeat. 

[Sara_H]

@ArtVixen it should do. I've just made one with a tile that was a repeat using basic tile function  (thanks @Polenth )

Once you've got the first repeat tile sized to your liking - take a peak at what the tile size is. Copy/paste the artwork onto the other sections and copy/paste the tile size too - it should in theory all match up in the different sections

[alissag]

Thank you for this wonderful hack! I never knew how to do this before!

[AirTwin]

Maybe they could add a overall background layer: like the ones on file folders, pocket folders, binders, and so on?
Because I know the images I use elsewhere .... are one file, could be an opportunity to get those designs listed here.

[J-D-I]

Thank you @James and your team for adding this product. This is nice to compliment or to group with the existing drawstring bag, trifold wallet, laptop sleeve, tote bag and other similar products. I've read in one of the discussions in other topics that pouch was discontinued, please see if it is possible and profitable to bring it back. I'm also searching duffel bag and fanny pack/bum bag but I can't find. If none, please see also if these are possible and profitable. Thanks again for adding this product.Pouch

Please add also female model for feminine designs. Thanks again.

We were thinking maybe diaper bags and carry-on luggage????

[carolineg]

Hi James,

I have noticed the " Left" and "Back Corner Left" model image of the backpack do not tally with each other  when i do the following design, see attached image. I am trying to have the brown color ends at  the same level.

I am not sure if this issue happens on the right side as well it is blocked by the side net pocket.

Hope you can look into this problem.

Thank you

Hi @carolineg , do you have a link to that product so I can take a look, please? Thanks. 

[AirTwin]

Can I say here, I love that all the print area pieces are all separate because of Zazzle's layer function. Thank you for not making it one file size/layer.

[AirTwin]

Is there a way to top down view, so we can see to match an image crossing from front panel to top panel?

[Sea-Change]

These are super fun to make and a great addition. +1 about more models, e.g., child and female, perhaps with at least one in a school context. It was challenging to paste a tiled image into different parts at first, but it helps to go to the dimensions in the Tile UI and type in the same measurements.

I also thumbs up suggestions to add more all-over bag types, such as a belt bag, zipper pouch, collapsible packable backpack, sling bag, and more. I'd also love to see packing compression cubes with each one customizable (so people can keep track of what's in each one or whose cube is whose in a big family). These would work well with cute designs for kids, elegant monograms, and travel-poster-like themes. Another helpful packing item is electronics cases, with so many digital nomads doing podcasting, Go-Pro-ing, and videos, and these could complement the backpacks. Thanks again!

[tanyadraws]

I love these backpacks!! Love that you can design each panel individually, and for the backpack itself I love that it has a little identification label stitched in the inside. Great new product addition! 

[ElizabethR]

I just used the pocket for a photo template on one backpack and a text template on another. I posted them in the Show Me thread.

[Sara_H]

when you use the 'transfer this design' function to the backpack , the background color doesn't get copied to the Right and Top sections. (transfered ok to the Front pocket/Front and Left)

Not a huge issue as easily copied over but thought I'd let you know just in case you didn't know already

[James]

Thank you all for your feedback and comments on these so far. I have passed these on now!

I love that there's a photo showing the inside, and think I'd love the same thing with tote bags. 

[Scribbleprints]

I love the product...but is there a way to add a tiled image to all the panels in a way that assures it's all the same size?
