FAQ
Before you order
Straight answers, including a few we can’t give yet. Those are tagged “before launch” and will be filled in when the details are final.
Making a skin
What is a LapAds skin?
A printed vinyl sheet for the back of your laptop lid, made from a design you put together here. Use it to advertise your business, or just to make your laptop look like yours.
How do I make the design?
There are three ways in. Generate the art with AI, upload your own image, or start in the editor with text, shapes, QR codes and your logo.
All three end in the same editor, so you can mix them. An AI background with your real logo on top works fine.
Will it fit my laptop?
Skins are sized from the manufacturer’s dimensions for the model you pick, so choose the exact model you own. We list 20 options, including 3 universal sizes for laptops we don’t list by name. Every size is on the laptops page.
Apple models offer an optional logo cutout. Its size is an estimate today.
Can I use my real logo?
Yes. Upload it and the editor places that file on the skin, with your business name set as crisp vector text. The AI can work your business name into the art as text, but for an exact logo and exact spelling, use the editor. QR codes are built into the editor too.
What does the AI do differently for a laptop skin?
It makes the image at the exact proportions of your laptop’s lid. Every request is also wrapped in rules for skins: flat, full-bleed artwork, nothing important at the edges, a clear center when you add a logo cutout, readable from a few meters away, and no third-party logos or real people.
AI credits
How many free AI designs do I get?
15, when you create an account. It’s one free grant per verified account, and each network is limited to a few free grants a week, so a busy shared network can run out before you sign up.
What happens when I run out?
You can top up. Credits are priced at our cost to generate plus card fees: 50 for $1.29, 100 for $2.25 and 250 for $5.15. One credit makes one AI image.
If a generation fails, its credit is refunded automatically, and prompts our content filter flags cost nothing. Credits only pay for AI images, so uploading your own art and editing are free.

How long until it arrives?before launch
We haven’t published production and delivery times yet. They’ll be on this page before launch. If you need a skin by a certain date, email us at connect@lap-ads.com before you order.
What is the skin made of?before launch
We’ll publish the material and adhesive details before launch, and we’d rather not guess at them here. If it matters for your laptop, email us at connect@lap-ads.com.

Each skin is printed from your own design, and our returns and refunds policy for custom skins isn’t published yet. It will be before launch. If you have a question about an order, email us at connect@lap-ads.com.
Can I order for my whole team?
Yes. Send the head count and laptop models through the team order form and we’ll reply by email.
Account and rules
How do I sign in?
There’s no password. You sign in with Google, Apple or a link sent to your email, and the first sign-in creates your account.
What won’t you print?
Logos and trademarks you don’t own, real people without their consent, hate, sexual content, violence and anything illegal. Prompts go through a content filter before they reach the image model, and uploads are checked too. The full rules are in our content policy.
Still have a question?
If it isn’t answered here, email us at connect@lap-ads.com and we’ll get back to you.
