# Branding groups

Group products that can be branded in the same places, and set up the positions and branding types for each.

A golf shirt can be embroidered on the chest or printed on the back, but a pen can only be printed on the barrel. A branding group in the Universal Branding Calculator (UBC) is a set of products that can be branded in the same places. Its positions say where the products can be branded, and with which branding types.

### Before you start

You'll need **View Branding Groups** to see them, and **Add Branding Group** or **Edit Branding Group** to change them, in the **U B C** permission group. If you don't have them, ask your OrderEazi administrator to add them to your role.

Create your branding types first. See [Branding types](/central/order-management/universal-branding-calculator/branding-types.md).

### How to add a branding group

1. In the main menu, go to **Universal Branding Calculator** > **Manage Branding Groups**.
2. Select **Add Branding Group**.
3. Enter the group's **Name**, such as "Golf Shirts".
4. Select **Save**.

You see "Branding group successfully created".

### How to add a position

1. Open the menu on the group's row and select **Create Position**.
2. Enter a short **Name**, such as "LC", for your own reference.
3. Enter the **Description**, such as "Left Chest". Sales reps choose positions by their description, and it's printed on documents.
4. Set the **Order** the position is listed in.
5. Under **Brandings**, choose the branding types allowed here.
6. Under **Number of Colours for Branding**, choose the most colours allowed for each type.
7. If you like, add a picture under **Image Upload**, showing where the position is.
8. Select **Save**.

You see "Branding position successfully created".

### How to add products to a group

1. Open the menu on the group's row and select **Add Products**.
2. Search by SKU, base code (the code shared by every size and colour of a product), or category.
3. Tick the products, and select **Save**.

You see "Products saved". A product can only be in one branding group, so products already in a group aren't listed. Add every size and colour of a product, because sales reps choose from all the sizes and colours in the group.

To remove products, expand the group, tick them under **Products**, and select **Delete**.

**Example:** You add a "Golf Shirts" group. Its "Left Chest" position allows embroidery, and its "Full Back" position allows screen printing up to 3 colours. You add every size and colour of your three golf shirt ranges. A sales rep branding a navy golf shirt can now choose Left Chest embroidery, a Full Back print, or both.

### How to clone or delete a group

1. Open the menu on the group's row.
2. Select **Clone** to copy the group's positions, but not its products, under the same name.
3. Or select **Delete**, and confirm, to remove the group, its positions, and its links to products. The products themselves aren't deleted.
