Ordering with AMS
Fit designs and fix sheet warnings
Understand sheet width, spacing, rotation, and the warnings to check before ordering.
Read as Markdown ↗You will: Build a layout that includes the required prints at the correct size.
What you need
- Artwork already added to the builder.
- The intended print dimensions and copy counts.

Jump to a step
Build, then inspect
Check the design list first
Compare each width, height, and quantity with your plan. Packing cannot correct a wrong count or misspelled design.
Run the builder’s packing action
Choose Auto-Build on the canvas. Some desktop quick-start screens call it Auto-Nest. The mobile builder can also rebuild after a design change.
Check the whole result
Inspect the generated sheet area and design counts. Look for overlap, out-of-bounds, missing-copy, or quality warnings before adding the sheet to the cart.
What the settings change
| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Width (in) | The sheet’s usable width. It is different from one design’s print width. |
| Margin (in) | Space reserved around the outside. |
| Gap (in) | Space between placed prints. |
| Rotation / Allow Rotation | Lets packing turn artwork to improve fit. Check the result. |
| Roll | The sheet can grow with the designs. A preset starting size is not a guaranteed final length. |
Match a warning to the next step
On mobile, the Issues area groups the available warnings. Where a warning offers a jump action, use it to find the affected print. “All good” for overlap/bounds does not approve the artwork’s spelling, detail, or print size.
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| Overlapping prints | Select the affected copy, move it or rebuild, then inspect the spacing. |
| A print is outside the sheet | Check sheet width and the design’s dimensions. Rebuild and review. |
| A design is missing | Compare the list, quantities, and all sheet areas before adding more copies. |
| Low resolution or blurry artwork | Check the source pixels at final print size. Moving it on the sheet will not add detail. |
| A blank preview or a job stuck processing | Keep the session open. Do not approve an unseen proof. Ask AMS with the visible status. |
How many small logos fit?
First decide the required number of finished prints. For example, 100 people who each need one small logo need 100 prints. Then add that design at the intended size and quantity to the builder.
Width × height alone cannot guarantee the fit. Spacing, margins, rotation, the shape, and the final packing matter. Use the built result and current quote for the order, then check all 100 prints are represented.
Optional optimization tools
Some screens offer extra nesting or efficiency tools. Availability can vary. Read the comparison before applying an optimized layout, then check your copies and print size again.
More efficient packing does not promise a particular saving or a better-looking print. Use the current sheet result and price. Keep advanced settings outside your first-order checklist.
| Control, when shown | What to check |
|---|---|
| Max Efficiency Mode | An extra packing option. Compare the resulting layout without changing your intended print size. |
| Polygon Optimizer (beta) | Uses artwork boundaries for packing instead of treating every design only as a rectangle. Inspect the result and leave room to cut. |
| AI Segmentation (SAM 3) | A boundary-detection option used by the optimizer. Check any offered quote or requirement before running an AI action. |
| Polygon Buffer (in) | Extra space around the detected boundary. Check small details and cutting room. |
| Auto Optimize | Controls automatic optimization when available. Review changes rather than assuming an automatic result is approved. |
What to do next
- Edit designs and copies on a gang sheet Change the right design, size, or copy without losing track of your print counts.
- Save, reopen, or recover a gang sheet Keep the current session safe and check what reached the cart before leaving.
- Prepare artwork and choose a print size Check the file, background, sharpness, and final size before you order.
