Digital Product Packaging Guide

Stop guessing what your buyer should actually get.

You made the digital product, and it looks great. Now what? A PDF or a PNG? One file or a ZIP? A Canva link? Letter, A4, or both? Do you need an instructions page?

The Digital Product Packaging Guide answers those questions with clear rules and real examples. It walks you through file types, sizes, delivery methods, and file naming, then shows you 10 product case studies with the exact files each customer receives.

You’ll package every product like a pro, so buyers open their files and love them instead of messaging you for help.

ABOUT THE PRODUCT

The Digital Product Packaging Guide takes the guesswork out of the step most sellers wing: deciding what the customer actually downloads.

You’ll learn which file type fits each product, which sizes to include, how to stay within Etsy’s file limits, when to use a ZIP or a template link, and how to name and explain your files so buyers never get stuck.

What Do You Get With Your Purchase?

You’ll get a 17-page PDF guide. It covers file types, sizes, delivery and naming, followed by 10 product case studies, each with the AI prompt, the build steps, and the exact files the customer gets.

Inside, you’ll find:

• File types decoded. When to use a PDF, PNG, JPG, SVG, ZIP, or template link, plus a simple rule of thumb: they print it, they layer it, or they edit it.
• A sizes cheat sheet. Pixel sizes at 300 DPI for US Letter, A4, 5x7, and 4x6, plus clipart, phone wallpapers, and social media templates.
• Delivery made simple. Etsy’s 5-file and 20MB limits, when to zip, and how to deliver Canva templates, Google Sheets products, and made-to-order files.
• Naming and the instructions PDF. A file naming pattern that looks professional, plus exactly what to put in an instructions PDF so it heads off support messages.
• 10 product case studies. A gift card book, gift tags, a party game, faux crochet clipart, a birthday magazine template, a Renaissance pet portrait, nursery wall art, an SVG cut file bundle, a leprechaun visit kit, and a monthly budget planner. Each one shows how it’s made, the prompt to use, and exactly what the customer receives.
