The next step is to select the client for whom you are creating this virtual sample. Use the dropdown to choose your client, and then click on OK. If you do not have a client folder, you are able to select "New" and then create a folder on the fly.

The Virtual Samples window will open. You can use the Remove logo from Supplier Image link to remove the logo that has been automatically applied by the supplier.

You can add a logo to the product, select an imprint method, manipulate the location of the logo, or add text to the product if there is not a logo.

Browse to the file’s location on the computer, select it and then click on Open. The logo appears on the product.

You can resize the logo by moving the slider to the left or right. You can also use the arrows to move the location of the logo.
