Methods and apparatuses for manufacturing products having custom graphic designed are disclosed. A method may comprise printing a first order identifier graphic on a substrate material, the first order identifier graphic associated with a first order for a first set of products, printing a first set of one or more graphic designs on the material, the first set of one or more graphic designs associated with the first order, and combining the material with one or more product components to form a first set of products, each of the first set of products being associated with the first customer order and at least one of the products of the first set of products comprising the first order identifier graphic. The method may further comprise packaging the first set of products in a first package wherein the first order identifier graphic is visible through the first package.

An image forming apparatus includes a display, and a scanner that reads one or more originals to obtain image data of the originals and a number of the originals. A memory device stores a set of instructions, and at least one processor executes the instructions to, among other things, display a first screen including an item for accepting a designation, by a user, of an insertion position of an insertion sheet. If a designation for insertion of the insertion sheet is made, the item includes an initial value of the insertion position that is determined based on the number of the originals that have been read by the reader. The at least one processor also executes the instructions to display a second screen including information related to the insertion sheet in accordance with receiving the designation by the user via the first screen.

A control apparatus includes a processor and a memory to control a system having an image forming apparatus and a sheet discharge apparatus. Executing a memory store program causes the control apparatus to receive configuration information of the system and generate a system configuration image, receive stacking state information and generate a sheet bundle image, display a screen, receive job identification information of an image forming job of sheets to be picked up, and display a thumbnail image. The stacking state information includes a stacking amount of sheets stacked on a sheet stacking tray. The sheet bundle image represents the sheets stacked on a sheet stacking tray based on the stacking state information. The system configuration image and the sheet bundle image are combined in the screen. The thumbnail image is based on receiving the job identification information.
