Your product, start to finish

From print file
to shipping box.

Start with the product you sell. PlyOps keeps its print files, costs, prices, and packaging details together, so you can find what you need when you make or ship it.

Everything stays connected to the product.

01 / Product

Start with the product you sell.

Save its name, description, photos, and notes once. If you sell different sizes, colors, or bundles, add each option under the same product. Each option can have its own item code (SKU), print file, measurements, materials, and costs.

When it has optionsEach version

Add a size, color, or bundle that buyers can choose.

Saved on each versionIts own details

SKU, print file, measurements, material, and costs.

PlyOps calls each version a variant. Its details stay with that version.

02 / Print file

Keep the print file with the product.

Attach a print file to the product. If one version needs a different file, attach it to that version instead. Label source designs and reference files separately, so you can tell which file is for printing.

Product or version / Print file
Your print file

Find the file beside the material and production notes for the product or version it makes.

Different versions can have different print files.
03 / Price

See your costs before setting a price.

Enter filament, printer time, hands-on work, hardware, packaging, and selling fees. Then enter the price you want to charge. PlyOps shows estimated profit and margin using the costs and fees you entered.

Include shipping and tax when they are costs you pay. Check the actual fees for your shop.

04 / Package

Check which package might fit.

Enter the product's measurements after wrapping it. Compare them with the usable space inside your saved boxes or mailers. PlyOps can suggest a likely fit, but you still need to pack a sample and check that it closes and protects the item.

A likely fit is a starting point, not a guarantee. Test the real product with its padding before you choose a package.

When you need it again

Find the details in one place.

Open the product to check its print files, saved costs and prices, and packaging details. Update them there when something changes instead of keeping separate notes and spreadsheets.
