MyDesign Suite
When you log on to UL Express and visit the new

original MyDesign features you’ve come to know still
exist in MyDesign Suite but are now more intuitive and
user-friendly. We guarantee if you enjoyed using the
MyDesign Tool, you’ll fall in love with MyDesign Suite!

will appear on your screen and the correct

frequently asked questions
MyDesign Suite Basics
What constitutes a blank surface?
A blank surface is any surface other than a UL
accessory. The most typical example of a blank
surface is a wall, though you can also design for a
door, window, cabinet, or any other space. Within
the MyDesign Suite application, you can create a
virtual replica of your existing surface by selecting
“Blank Surface” from the surface dropdown menu,
then inputting surface dimensions and selecting
a matching color.
What does it mean to mirror my expression?
When you mirror an expression, you flip your
current design backward for use on glass, acrylic,
or another transparent surface. For instance, if you
placed your mirrored design on the inside of a car
window, the design would appear as your original
design when viewed from the outside.
What is the difference between total expression
size and letter height?
Total expression size refers to the size of your
overall expression. Letter height is the size of a
letter “A” in the font you selected, and this height
affects the size of each letter in that specific
expression element.
Why is there a question mark near
some features?
The question mark denotes a help function for
specific features like the Advanced Tools. When
you place your mouse arrow on the question mark,
a window will open with additional information
on that feature.
How do I title my expression?
When you save your MyDesign expression, you
can give it a name you will remember. Your
expression will then be saved in the My Saved
Expressions section of MyDesign Suite, where you
can access it at a later time. For more information
on how to save and title your expression, refer to
the comprehensive online MyDesign tutorial.

UL Exclusive Expressions In MyDesign
Can I separate a Two-Part UL Exclusive Expression
or adjust the size, color, and font of the UL Exclusive
Expression I select?
UL Exclusive Expressions (catalog expressions) are
the proprietary designs of Uppercase Living and have
been preset to certain manufacturing sizes. When you
select a UL Exclusive Expression in MyDesign, you
must keep the font provided within that expression.
You can then choose the size and color to be applied to
the whole expression, as outlined in the current Idea
Catalog. Two-Part UL Exclusive Expressions cannot
be separated or adjusted as separate elements, but the
entire expression can be adjusted.
Multiple Parts In Your MyDesign Expression
Can I add more than one custom expression
to my design?
You can add as many different custom and UL Exclusive
Expressions as you would like. Just be aware that every
new text box you add will be counted as an individual part.
I have multiple parts in my expression. How will I
receive them?
Individual elements within your MyDesign expression
will arrive separately and must be applied to your surface
separately as well.
How do I match up multiple expression elements on
my surface?
Custom MyDesign expressions do not come with
registration marks; however, registration marks will
appear on any Two-Part UL Exclusive Expressions you
order. We recommend printing out your completed
design from MyDesign Suite and using this sheet as
your reference as you apply each part. You can then
trim any excess backing paper around each expression
element (for easier handling) and match each part
visually according to your printed design.
Save/Order
Once I’ve ordered my saved design, can I access it
again and make changes to it?
Once you’ve saved your MyDesign Suite expression, you
can access it in the My Saved Expressions section of
MyDesign Suite. If you haven’t yet ordered your design,
you may open the saved expression and make as many
changes as you would like. Once you’ve ordered your
expression once, you cannot make changes to the saved file.
You may, however, copy it into a new design or reorder it to
give as a gift or place on another surface in your home.
Note: If you copy an expression, you must save it
with a new name.
If I start a MyDesign expression during a promotion
but don’t order it until after the promotion deadline,
can I still receive the promotion price?
Regardless of when you started your MyDesign
expression, you will only receive the promotion price
when you submit the expression to Uppercase Living
before the promotion deadline.
How do I know how much my order will cost?
MyDesign Suite provides pricing details as you
design your element. Pricing is separated into subtotal
and individual element pricing. For more details on
how to track your pricing as you design your custom
expression, refer to the MyDesign Suite Tutorial.
Can I use Living Rewards credits to order a
MyDesign Expression?
Yes. Simply order your expression through a Living
Rewards Product order. For more information, contact
Demonstrator Services at 866-369-5066.
After Your Order Arrives
Can I exchange a MyDesign Expression?
You can only exchange a MyDesign Suite Expression
because of a quality defect. If your design is
exchanged, you will receive the exact same design
you ordered previously.
How will my expression ship if some letters were
positioned off the MyDesign Suite screen when
I ordered it?
As you design your expression, be aware that what you
see in the MyDesign screen is what will be shipped to
you. If the letters of your expression have dropped off your
selected accessory, you may want to adjust the text size and/
or font to ensure that your expression arrives whole and fits
the accessory when you apply it. If the letters have dropped
off your blank surface, try adjusting the surface dimensions.
The dimensions remain the same when you switch from an
accessory to the blank surface option, so they may be too
small for your existing wall or door.

When you create a MyDesign Suite expression, the custom text in your expression is priced per letter based on size.
The chosen letter size indicates the size of a capital letter “A” in your chosen font. Even though the various letters in
your expression may be smaller or larger relative to the capital “A,” sizing and the corresponding price are still based
on the capital “A.”
The guide below indicates the relative size of each letter in your chosen font in relation to the capital “A.” To calculate
exact dimensions of your custom expression, create your expression using the MyDesign Suite.
