Product Images

When a product has been created, it is possible to upload 3 image types against it. The Main Image, the Production Image, and the Labels Image.

For more information on how to upload Product Images

The images are included on the Line Sheet, Sales Order Line Sheet , Sales Order documents, and the Production Docket when printed.

It is important to keep product images as small as possible whilst keeping the quality high enough to be a good representation.

The standard Zedonk package offers the facility to upload ONE JPEG/PNG image per product. See guidelines below regarding IMAGE SIZE and FORMAT and for information about images on Zedonk SALES APP.

 

'The Main Image'

This will be the covering image of the product on your line sheets, sales orders, and the sales app.

'Production' Image

This will be the product image used for your production documents. E.g. Production Order List + Docket

'Labels' Image

This will export to the production order docket. 

Product Image Size

Format : SQUARE, JPEG (Standard 24-bit format) / PNG Format

Max Pixels: 2000 x 2000

Resolution : Max 150 dpi

Max Size: 2Mb


The file must be a JPG or PNG image with a size up to 2Mb and no more than 2000x2000 pixels

There are 2 separate measures of the size of an image, one is the size of the image file (measured in bytes i.e. 800 KB), and one is the image size (the print space the image will occupy i.e. 600 x 600), this is best measured in pixels.

When ZEDONK™ prepares images for inclusion on a document, it will reduce large images to fit the space provided, but it will not increase the size of the image if it is too small. This allows you some creativity whilst preventing the image from spreading all over the page. 


However, when a large image is used, the reduction to fit the available space is performed by the PDF reader, and the full-size image is embedded in the PDF file. The larger the image, the larger the eventual file size for the document that contains inmages e.g line sheets, so whilst an image that is greater than 450 x 450 pixels will be reduced to fit, the file will still be larger than it needs to be.

So our recommendation is to size the image at between 300 and 450 pixels (on its longest edge) at 150 dpi to get the best compromise between file size and image quality. It is possible to use lower resolutions, as low as 74 dpi, these will look fine when viewed on a screen, but when printing the quality will suffer.

On creating (saving) a JPEG file, you can set the level of compression (more compression = more loss of quality). This is completely separate from the image format/dimensions. The software you use will let you set a default compression/quality or chose one suitable for that particular image.  These are usually measured in terms of percentage so 100% means no compression. The amount of compression required depends on the image content.

Image Format

All images must be RGB files. 

All images must be in JPEG (Standard 24-bit format) / PNG format. 

JPEG is a method of compressing images that results in particularly small files whilst still retaining good quality. Jpeg compression factors down to 20 will still produce reasonable quality, though the maximum compression that can be used before quality is lost will vary depending on the kind of image. Pictures tend to compress better than line drawings. However, all images will reproduce well with a 40-50 JPeg compression factor.

It is best to aim for file sizes in the 6 to 15 KB (Kilo - or thousand - Bytes) range. Bear in mind that a 20-page line sheet with 4 images per sheet will be over 2 MB (Mega - or million - Bytes) if every image is 25K, this is very close to the limit of many email systems, and even so, transferring such large amounts of data takes time. Of course, on occasion, an image needs to be larger, than 15K, up to 25K is reasonable, but on average it is possible to keep it below 15KB.
