Creating Printable Products From Your Paint-by-Numbers Designs
5 min read
The vector exports from Paint Craft (SVG and PDF) make it straightforward to create printable products from your designs. Here are practical ways to turn your paint-by-numbers creations into physical products.
Paint-by-Numbers Kits (Digital)
The most direct product: sell the numbered canvas as a downloadable PDF that customers print at home. This works well because:
- No inventory or shipping costs
- Customers can print at whatever size they prefer
- You can sell the same design repeatedly
Include clear printing instructions (paper weight recommendations, printer settings) with your listing.
Wall Art Prints
Export the finished (painted) version of your canvas as a high-resolution PNG or PDF and sell it as wall art. The paint-by-numbers aesthetic — clean colour regions with smooth boundaries — has a distinctive look that can work well as decorative prints.
Greeting Cards
Smaller, simpler designs (Easy mode set to 10–15 colours) can work well as greeting card fronts. Export at the appropriate dimensions and combine with a card template in a design tool.
What You Need Beyond Paint Craft
Paint Craft creates the artwork. To turn it into sellable printable products, you will typically need:
- A design tool (even free ones like Canva) for layout and sizing
- A platform to sell on (Etsy, Gumroad, your own website)
- Test prints to verify quality before listing
Remember that the quality of your source photo directly affects the quality of the paint-by-numbers output. Clear, well-lit photos with good contrast produce the best results.
