🎨 Design Process

  1. Open the "Open custom fridge Designer"
  2. A model viewer will display at the top in mobile or side in desktop - you can spin, zoom and inspect the 3D model viewer to get an accurate presentation of your design.
  3. The sample design will show automatically. Simply hit the "Blank model" button near the top to reset the fridge model.
  4. You can open each panel individually - left, right, top, and door -to see each panels options for customisation.
  5. when inside a panel you can upload artwork which will show in both the 2D panel viewer and on the 3D model. At anytime in mobile you can expand (and collapse) the 3D model viewer while in any of the panel selection areas.
  6. Artwork can be zoomed and moved via the 2D panel and also rotated in the panel options.
  7. You can add text if you wish - text can also be moved around the panel, have preselcted font colours, be made smaller or larger, rotated, and you can change the font to preselcted font styles.
  8. The doors can have artwork uplaoed, and text, like the panels or you can use a cutout image. A cutout image must be presented in SVG or AI. You can use a png cutout to see what it looks like but we may reach out for SVG or AI image format.
  9. You can choose to put artwork on every panel or just a few (or even just one)
  10. You can choose to chang ethe colour of panels usin a hex colour, colour wheel, or the eyedropper. The eyedropper is handy if wnating to match the whole panel colour with that of a logo etc.
  11. You can choose to fully cover the doors (glass and solid) or leave them blank. Often, people will leave the glass door blank so you can still see into the interior.
  12. The recommended file size is 4 mB (for resolution) however the viewer will accept files above 3 mB. Anything lower than this will mean pixilated panels in the final product.
  13. You must check that you understand the terms and conditions for custom fridges before continuing to cart.
  14. The final add to cart will take a while as the images are uploadedto the server.
  15. The add to cart will show the base model cost plus any model upgrade and extras (such as hinge swaps or LED lighting).
  16. Once paid for we will send a final mock up design within 2 to 5 days.
  17. Branding and delivery of the custom fridge is typically 1-3 weeks.
