Abstract

Methods and apparatuses for manufacturing products having custom graphic designed are disclosed. A method may comprise printing a first order identifier graphic on a substrate material, the first order identifier graphic associated with a first order for a first set of products, printing a first set of one or more graphic designs on the material, the first set of one or more graphic designs associated with the first order, and combining the material with one or more product components to form a first set of products, each of the first set of products being associated with the first customer order and at least one of the products of the first set of products comprising the first order identifier graphic. The method may further comprise packaging the first set of products in a first packagewherein the first order identifier graphic is visible through the first package.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to manufacturing custom products, and more particularly to manufacturing products with graphics of custom selections or designs. Background technique [0002] Customized products are becoming more and more popular among consumers. Some consumers may prefer to purchase a product in which the consumer selects one or more features of the product. In particular, some consumers may desire the ability to select or design the graphic design of the products they purchase. [0003] Manufacturing such products using custom selected or engineered graphic designs can present many manufacturing challenges. Current high-speed digital printing technologies allow graphic designs to be changed from one product to another on the production line. However, such functions require increasingly complex tracking systems to track orders during manufacturing, inspection systems not only to check the product quality of individual products, but a...
