# Do I need to create the design separately for double-sided products?

Yes. Double-sided products need separate artwork for each side, so prepare one file for the front and one for the back. Each side follows the product template and needs its own bleed. Build a distinct file for the front and a distinct file for the back. Follow the product template for each panel. Include the required bleed on both files so edges print cleanly.

Double-sided products need one file for the front and one for the back, each following the product template with its own bleed so edges print cleanly.
