Two paths, one upload that opened up more
Since launch, the shift has been dramatic. Orders through the PDF upload path now account for 90% of volume. The editor handles the remaining 10%, mostly customers making small last-minute changes.
The upload path also unlocked something that wasn’t possible before: versioning. For any customer managing a product range where the format stays the same but the artwork changes, think a wine producer with multiple grape varieties, a food brand running seasonal editions, a packaging customer managing regional variants of the same product, the ability to upload each version as part of a single order is a meaningful shift. Previously that meant placing multiple separate jobs.
Now it happens in one session, with each version uploaded, saved and queued in sequence. For businesses managing large and frequently updated product portfolios, that is time saved at every ordering cycle.
The effect on file quality was an added benefit Thomas hadn’t fully anticipated. Because the upload path takes the PDF directly, without processing it through the editor, the files arriving in production are cleaner.

Most of Eshuis’s customers are large brands that arrive with finished, pre-approved artwork rather than designing from scratch. Uploading that artwork into MegaEdit added a step that created friction without adding value, and each design took around 12 seconds to load.
-
A customer with three label variants now completes their order in 30 to 40 seconds, down from close to three minutes through the old editor-only process.
-
90% of orders now go through the PDF upload path. The remaining 10% still use the editor, mostly for small last-minute changes.
-
Versioning lets a customer upload multiple artwork variants, for example different grape varieties or seasonal editions, as part of a single order session, with each version uploaded, saved and queued in sequence. Previously this meant placing separate jobs for every variant.

Preflighting: automating the technical checking of incoming files at the point of upload, rather than catching issues further down the production chain.
