Automated print-on-demand systems for products, production, and fulfilment

CODEio helps print, merchandise, and made-to-order businesses transform complex operations into one connected, automated production system.
Integrations with product suppliers can create daily orders for blank products; customers can connect their stores so decorated-product orders arrive directly in production; print-ready artwork and printer-specific setup files can be sent to the correct machine; and intelligent Workflows guide every item through stock allocation, printing, quality control, fulfilment, and drop-shipping. This reduces manual handovers, speeds up production, and gives the business a clear operational view from product setup to dispatch.

Shape a product catalogue around your production

Bring products from a wide range of suppliers, including Ralawise, PenCarrie, BTC Activewear and Stanley/Stella, together with your own manufactured ranges in one catalogue. Define the decoration methods, printable areas and rules that apply to each variation. Supplier connections can keep stock, costs and purchasing data up to date, while automated supplier ordering reduces manual administration and saves your team time. Your team remains in control of products and production options through a web-based admin area built around how the business operates. CODEio can host, support and extend the system as ranges, equipment and processes change.

Integrations with product suppliers

Integrate decoration products with suppliers for automatic or semi-automatic daily order creation for products that need to be ordered, together with updates to in-stock values, prices, and other catalogue data.
Manufactured and bespoke ranges

Add products you make or source outside standard supplier catalogues, including cut-and-sew garments and unusual substrates. Product records can carry their own options, artwork rules, lead times and production instructions.
Decoration methods

Offer one or several production methods on the same product, including DTG, DTF and heat transfer, screen printing, embroidery, sublimation, cut and sew, direct-to-fabric and engraving. Availability can change by product, variation or production site.
Decoration areas editor

Set or edit decoration areas and decoration methods for each product. The appropriate production Workflow can also be assigned to every decoration method.
Printer setup

Configure printer settings and generate the configuration and design files required for automated printing. Parameters can be set for each product variation, including colour, size, and printer-specific KSF files for compatible Kornit equipment, as well as files for other supported printers.
Product pricing and visibility

Apply one set of commercial controls across decorated ranges: method- and quantity-based pricing, customer-specific prices, discounts, and VAT; visibility rules for selected users or accounts; and multi-language, multi-currency selling for international customers.

Connected customer stores and decorated products

Let customers connect their stores, so print orders reach you directly

Customers can create and configure decorated products on the CODEio-built website, then export them to Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce, and other supported sales channels. They can also connect existing store listings by linking each decorated product to one of your base products. When a sale is made, the print order returns to your business with the product, design, and branding data needed for production.

E-commerce and marketplace integrations

Customers can connect Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce, TikTok, Amazon, eBay, and other supported channels, link listings to your base products, and export products created on the CODEio-built website. Sales return with the design, variation, and branding data needed for production.
Marketplace

Give customers a Marketplace hosted on your website when they do not need a separate e-commerce platform. They can choose products, add designs, publish a focused storefront, and share its link with their audience.
Design editor

Customers can upload new artwork or choose from saved designs, position it on a product, and work from product-specific templates. Clear guidance can flag print quality, image size, and print-area problems before the product is exported or ordered.
New

AI Background Removal in the Design Editor

Website users can now remove backgrounds from uploaded artwork inside the Design Editor using AI-powered image processing while creating their custom product designs.
Product mockups

Create high-definition product mockups with realistic colours, highlights, shadows, and design distortion across garments, accessories, embroidered items, drinkware, engraved products, and bespoke ranges. Customers can preview or download the images for their online shops.
Personalised products

Offer products that end customers personalise with their own text, images, or other configured fields. This personalisation journey works with connected Shopify stores and can also be delivered through a purpose-built API integration.
Pre-decorated products

Offer selected products with prepared designs so customers can personalise a proven starting point instead of creating every design from scratch.
Fabric design tool

Let customers upload their own artwork, turn images into repeat patterns, or use ready-made pattern collections to create custom fabric designs for printing and made-to-order products.
Customer branding and bespoke labels

Let customers upload and apply their own branding to sewn or printed garment labels, neck labels, swing tags, and other product-specific positions. Their choices remain attached to the product and order so production knows which brand elements to use and where.
Print-ready design files

Automatically create print-ready design files that match the required file size, resolution, artwork position, colour mode, and other production specifications, reducing manual artwork preparation before printing.
Automated artwork scaling

Scale artwork automatically across product and garment variations while preserving its proportions and intended appearance, helping designs remain consistent across the range.
Cliparts and design assets

Build a design library for each customer, or let them create and upload their own collection of artwork and reusable design assets for future products.
The same design on product sets

Apply one uploaded or created design across a set of products. Customers can build a coordinated range without recreating the artwork for every item, giving shoppers more products to choose from.
Advanced editor features

Remove backgrounds from uploaded images, resize and position artwork, reorder design elements, and add editable text. Customers can choose fonts, adjust fill and stroke colours, control spacing and alignment, and curve text for more advanced product designs.

Automated print production and shipping workflow

Automate order processing from production to dispatch

Orders from connected stores enter the Product-level Workflow System, where each item follows the correct Workflow for stock allocation, purchasing, artwork approval, printing, quality control, packing, and dispatch. Teams work from shared dashboards and scan barcodes or QR codes at production stages, while the system prepares the documents, shipping data, and customer updates needed to keep fulfilment moving.

Product-level Workflow System

Split orders into individual products and route each item through the correct Workflow for stock allocation, artwork approval, printing, quality control, packing, and shipping.
Production dashboard

Show production Workflows in real time, including work in progress, queue sizes, processing statistics, and alerts for critical issues. Categories and views can be configured around different products, departments, sites, or equipment.
New

Clearer production workflow information

Product details, quantities, production status and related items from the same order are shown together at the point of action, reducing unnecessary checks across separate screens.
Barcode and QR code support

Identify individual items or multi-packs using workflow-compatible barcodes and QR codes. Print dynamic details directly on each label – including Order ID, SKU, product name, size, and colour.
New

Batch code generation, printing & automatic assignment

Filter products by code, design, or other attributes to generate, print, and assign barcode or QR code labels in a single batch – eliminating the need for individual manual scans before production.
New

Code-triggered production printing

With compatible production printers, scanning an item’s barcode or QR code retrieves the correct instructions and print file, allowing production printing to start directly at the machine.
Integration with global shipping providers

Connect to Royal Mail, USPS, Spring, DHL, FedEx, DPD, UPS, and shipping aggregators to register shipments, generate labels, return tracking data, and notify connected stores.
Branded packaging

Personalise each dispatch for the customer’s brand by generating branded packing slips, custom parcel stickers, and other white-label packaging materials from the order data at the packing stage.
Automated weighing

Connect compatible USB scales so parcel weights are captured directly during fulfilment and passed into the shipping process, reducing manual entry and helping the system prepare accurate shipment data and labels.
Customer communication

Contact customers from Workflow stages that require an answer or approval, such as replacing an unavailable product, correcting artwork, or confirming an updated design, while keeping the conversation attached to the order.
New

Streamlined quality checks and bin allocation

At the shipping stage, operators can scan or enter an item code to review product and order details, record a quality result, and allocate passed items to the correct storage bin. Failed items return for rework. Multiple code scans can also be configured to quickly flag items as passed or failed.
