Do I need a designer to order retail printing?

You don't necessarily need a professional designer to order retail print. Most online print shops give you more than one way to reach a print-ready file, so a designer is optional rather than required.

• Start from a free, pre-sized template and drop in your own logo, colors, and text
• Use a browser-based online design tool to build a layout from scratch, no software to install
• Upload your own artwork if you already have a print-ready file
• Hire a freelance or professional designer only for complex jobs (multi-page pieces, heavy photography, custom die-cuts)

For simple projects like business cards or flyers, a template plus your logo is usually all it takes.
