Hi Guys! I'm trying to find a tool that will allow me to give site visitors the ability to add the text that they want to a card, tag, shirt and then update so that they can visualize their text on the item.

You see this type of thing on custom t-shirt sites and business card sites. I figure that there has to be a nicely made commercial tool available to do this. Can someone please point me in the right direction for it?

We just built such a thing for a client -- weren't able to find a commercial app for it. Would love to hear if others have found a commercial app.

Jeremy,
I've been looking pretty hard and there is just not much out there.

Yeah. That was our experience too. That's why we defaulted to making our own (for the client, so we can't just give it out or even sell it).

I've also helped build something similar - though for wedding invitations not business cards or T-shirts. We did it totally custom, using the GD library for PHP to manipulate images, and a lot of AJAX, with jQuery, to make it a more or less seamless process.

Go to VistaPrint.com and "view source", then look for info in the header, or just re-engineer their scripting
