New Order processing/File Upload system at Superior POD

We are very excited to announce the launch of our new Order processing/File Upload system! In the past, if you had an order you wanted Superior POD to manufacture that was not a stock product on our website, there was no way to track that product through any order system, as it could not be entered into our order processing system.

Well, those days are over. As of this morning, Superior POD now has the ability to mange, communicate and track the order production process through our new Order processing/File Upload system.

Once you create an upload account right on our website (don't worry, it's free), you can upload any art/print files and an order will automatically be generated. We can communicate directly to our customers through this new portal and let you know if the art is approved or it requires changes. It allows for faster viewing of your files and faster, better communication from us to you about them!

Probably the most exciting feature of this new portal is that very soon, the entire file submission process for printing any job submitted through the website or through the portal (website and custom orders alike) will be entirely automated. You will submit your art, our software will evaluate your art submission, automatically correct any mistakes in your art, impose it for printing and notify us that the job is ready for print. In the event that the art can't be corrected or used as submitted, you will be contacted automatically through the portal with a detailed explanation of what is wrong with the submission and what is needed to correct it. This will remove days from the order process for all orders.

If you order off the website, your order is automatically entered into the new order processing portal. If you have a job that needs to be processed outside the website (ie; a custom job), then follow these simple steps:
1. Go to this URL - New File Upload Portal
2. Register or sign in (if have already created an account)
3. At "success" page click LOG IN
4. Sign in
5. Click ORDERS
6. Click NEW ORDER button
7. Name your job and add any details
8. Drag and drop your files

... you have just created a new, trackable order in our system!

If you have any questions about this new system, please contact us at info@superiorpod.com

Thank you

NEW POKER CARD TEMPLATE SHEET AVAILABLE

I have uploaded a new Poker Card Template to the template database and to the product on the website today.

It is my hope that the new template will explain better how to incorporate bleed into your cards.

We see a slew of orders weekly the do not include bleed. For those that don't know, bleed is that part of your card art that gets cut away in the manufacturing product. If you do not include bleed and just stop your art at the card/cut edge then there is a good chance you will see slivers of white (or whatever color you filled the bleed area with).

Please have a look at the new template and feel free to contact us with any questions eiather through the support center or email - info@superiorpod.com

Thank you!

Jeff
