Template Gallery – Powerful Web-to-Print Engine for Brand-Consistent Design

Template Gallery – CloudLab’s Smart Approach to Efficient Web-to-Print Design

In the fast-paced world of digital printing, efficiency and consistency are key.
Printers need faster workflows. Agencies need better brand control. Customers expect intuitive tools.

That’s exactly why CloudLab developed the Template Gallery for its printQ Web-to-Print software — a central hub where every design starts, lives, and evolves.

With the Template Gallery, CloudLab gives businesses the power to manage hundreds of print templates, keep every layout on-brand, and make it instantly customizable online — from business cards to brochures, posters, packaging, and beyond.

Design Once. Print Everywhere.

The Template Gallery serves as the backbone of every printQ storefront.
It houses all ready-to-use layouts, giving customers a starting point for any print product.

Users simply select a template, open it in the printQ Online Editor, and begin customizing — no graphic design experience required.

• Texts, colors, and images can be adjusted intuitively.
• Locked elements (logos, corporate fonts, brand colors) protect the brand identity.
• Real-time previews show exactly how the finished product will look.

Whether it’s a single print shop or a multinational franchise, the Template Gallery ensures that every print product remains visually consistent and technically flawless.

Centralized Template Management

One of CloudLab’s guiding principles is automation through structure.
In printQ, templates are stored centrally — categorized by product type, brand, or campaign.

Administrators can easily:

• Upload new designs
• Edit or update existing layouts
• Define user permissions for editing or viewing
• Share templates across multiple storefronts or client accounts

This centralized control saves countless hours of manual file handling and ensures that every user — from a small business client to a corporate marketing team — works with up-to-date, approved designs.

Variable Data Printing (VDP) – Personalized Mass Production

The Template Gallery is not just about aesthetics — it’s about scalability and automation.

Through Variable Data Printing (VDP), printQ allows users to generate hundreds or even thousands of personalized prints automatically.

Examples of VDP in action:

• Employee name badges
• Event invitations with unique QR codes
• Direct mail campaigns with individual customer data
• Coupon series with personalized promo codes

CloudLab’s system connects the template with data sources like CSV files, databases, or external APIs. Once the data is uploaded, printQ automatically merges it with the design — producing unique, print-ready files in a matter of seconds.

This feature turns repetitive printing tasks into a fully automated, lights-out process — perfect for high-volume B2B clients and marketing service providers.

Seamless Integration with the printQ Ecosystem

CloudLab designed printQ as a modular and connected platform.
The Template Gallery integrates seamlessly with all other printQ components:

• Online Editor: Real-time editing and layout visualization in the browser.
• 3D Preview: Optional 3D rendering for packaging and display products.
• Preflight Automation: Automatic data validation before production.
• Workflow Integration: Connection to ERP, MIS, and RIP systems via REST/SOAP APIs.
• eCommerce Backbone: Built on Adobe Magento for full shop functionality — customers, coupons, checkout, and logistics.

Together, these components create a continuous design-to-print workflow that eliminates manual steps and dramatically reduces production time.

Corporate Design Compliance Made Simple

For large enterprises, maintaining a consistent brand image across locations can be challenging.
The Template Gallery solves this problem elegantly.

Corporate marketing teams can define templates with locked elements to preserve visual integrity — logos, fonts, and color palettes remain untouched, while local users can edit only predefined fields (e.g., contact details or branch addresses).

This ensures:

• Every output adheres to brand guidelines
• Local flexibility without creative risk
• Shorter approval processes through built-in permission control

For banks, insurance companies, retailers, or franchise systems, this balance between standardization and personalization is invaluable.

Built on Adobe Magento – Engineered for Growth

Unlike isolated Web-to-Print solutions, printQ leverages Adobe Magento (Adobe Commerce) as its foundation.
This gives CloudLab customers access to a full e-commerce environment — complete with user management, order tracking, payment, and shipping.

The Template Gallery integrates natively into this system, making it easy to sell customizable print products online and automate the entire sales-to-production journey.

Thanks to CloudLab’s headless architecture, printQ can also connect to other storefronts such as Shopware or Shopify — offering true flexibility for complex digital ecosystems.
