What is a WTTB Canva template?
A WTTB Canva template is a blank Canva design set up at the correct size for a compatible WTTB print product. You can use it as a starting point before adding your own text, images, colours and branding.
How do I open a WTTB Canva template?
Look for the Canva icon on compatible WTTB products or visit the Canva Templates page. When you select a template, it will open in Canva so you can start designing.
Do I need Canva Pro to use WTTB Canva Templates?
No. WTTB Canva templates are designed to work for Canva Free and Pro users. Some Canva design elements may require Canva Pro, but the blank WTTB templates themselves can be used as a starting point.
Do WTTB Canva templates include bleed and safe zones?
WTTB Canva templates are set up to help you design at the correct size. When designing, keep important text and logos inside the safe zone and extend backgrounds into the bleed area so the finished print trims cleanly.
How should I export artwork from a WTTB Canva template?
When your design is finished, download it from Canva as a PDF Print file. Enable crop marks and bleed, use CMYK colour mode where available and check the downloaded PDF before uploading it to WTTB.

Not everyone has access to tools like Acrobat or In Design, but don't worry, we've got a bit of magic up our sleeves. If you see a Canva icon on one of our products, that means there's a free Canva template ready to use. Click the icon and a new tab will open with the template in Canva. From here, you can add your text, drag in images, and change colours and fonts however you like. You can also use the design tab to choose from Canva's library of pre-made designs as a starting point.
When designing, keep text inside the safe zone highlighted on the template and expand your backgrounds into the bleed so there are no white edges when it's trimmed. Be sure to use high-quality images at 300 dpi or higher so everything prints nice and sharp.
When you're finished, click the share button and then hit download. Choose PDF print. Tick crop marks and bleed and switch to CMYK colour mode for the best colour match. Once your file is downloaded, head back to WTTB. Upload the artwork to your order and hit submit. Then leave the rest to us as we work our print sorcery to transform your design to perfect printed products.
