WHAT IS A LINE SHEET?+
I often say that if a catalog and an order form had a love child, it’d be a line sheet.
These wholesale marketing documents succinctly and elegantly present your product collection and wholesale policies to potential buyers so they can make a decision about whether or not to bring on a new line.
For makers and product designers looking to crack the wholesale market, product presentation is everything. Whether you’d like to see your work in spas, shops, galleries, grocery stores or department stores, wholesale buyers are looking for smartly styled product presentations which answer all the essential questions about your body of work and how you do business.
My savvy DIY design templates guide you through the process of creating these important marketing materials using best practices. The end result is a clean, well-branded line sheet and order form set that are brimming with the kind of information buyers need to make a quick decision about your product collection.
Roll up your sleeves and dive in!

IMPORTANT Software Requirements+
You’ll need access to Adobe InDesign or Illustrator versions CS4 or newer to use these files. Regrettably, these templates aren’t compatible with any version of Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Word, or Microsoft Excel.
A working understanding of Adobe InDesign and/or Illustrator is assumed, and we regret that we’re unable to provide training of any kind for the use of these design templates within software programs. If you’re not proficient with InDesign or Illustrator, then you can pass these templates off to a professional graphic designer of your choosing and they should be able to help!
