About Studio Kunstwerkjes

Studio Kunstwerkjes is an online store founded in 2023 where parents can have their child's drawings captured on a photo product such as a mug, poster or puzzle.

The webshop was founded on the idea that coloring outside the lines should be encouraged, and parents, but especially the children, can be proud of their personalized artworks.

Combining the extensive product designer with PrintAPI's print-on-demand services ensured Studio Kunstwerkjes had the right tools to succesfully enter the e-commerce market for customized photo products.

The Challenge

Charlotte's experience as an illustrator combined with new motherhood, gave her the idea of preserving children's drawings by printing it on products. In search for a suitable whitelabel customization tool, one thing was very important; the software needed to replace the manual task of uploading and forwarding artwork files to an API. This was an important requirement for Studio Kunswerkjes because this would grand Charlotte a certain scalability for her newly founded ecommerce business.

The extensive product designer with WooCommerce and API integration

It all started when Studio Kunstwerkjes contacted Instant Design Tool and shared her idea. Team Instant Design Tool then advised her on which software solution best suited her idea. Being able to create unique templates for customers to work with was an important requirement. After a demo for the extensive product designer, Charlotte was very enthusiastic!  Soon after, she started building her website and within a month or so, she was ready to get started with the implementation process. 

Connecting with the API

Studio Kunstwerkjes was looking for a software partner that was also able to manage the entire supply chain from start to finish. Therefore, we arranged for her to create an account with our production partner PrintAPI. With the free online portal, Studio Kunstwerkjes had insight into all product prices, delivery times and shipping costs. 

The customized artworks Studio Kunstwerkje wanted to sell, were all products already available in the catalogue, ready to sell. This seamless connection between the extensive design tool and PrintAPI saved Studio Kunstwerkjes a lot of time since the print-ready PDFs from the design tool automatically met the product specifications for on-demand printing via PrintAPI.
