Personalised cards: when custom fields make sense
When designers should use names, dates and messages in personalised cards, and when simpler card designs are stronger.
Use personalisation when it adds feeling
Names and messages can make a card feel made for one person, but they should not be forced into every design.
- Birthdays and milestones
- Family roles and names
- Dates that matter to the buyer
Leave enough visual space
Custom fields need room to breathe. The design should still look polished with different names and message lengths.
- Avoid tiny text areas
- Plan for longer names
- Keep the artwork balanced

Questions designers ask
Is personalised cards only for full-time designers?
No. Desigla is designed for independent designers, illustrators, artists and small studios with finished work they want to turn into products.
Do I need to handle production or shipping?
No. Desigla handles product setup, production, fulfilment and customer support for approved products.
Where should I start?
Start with one finished design or a small collection that already feels strong. A focused first product is usually better than uploading everything at once.
