I have placed my design so that nothing goes past the printed marks. However, when posting it, it always looks as if it's not in the right position. Is that something that can be fixed?

@WBartworks I think I see what you are referring to. The design is CENTERED, but in the top-down view it looks to be off-set. This is just due to the fact that the curve on the top edge is not easily detected. If you page down the the SIDE EDGE views, you will see that the design folds over approximately equally on both edges.

Well, then there's nothing I can do about that. Thank you for your reply!

Hi @WBartworks

I've never designed candies. I looked at yours in the design tool, then I searched and looked at others b/c I was curious why there are two work areas for the wrapper. What I found is many are designed way outside the lines and they work. And most of them look exactly how yours look on the wrapper, but bigger. I increased your circle/wreath of flowers quite a bit, and the design stays on the wrapper. I would definitely use the bowl of three as cover page as the most attractive example imo. It shows the overlap on top and bottom.

I enjoyed peeking in your collection and seeing all the pretties.

Thank you, Molly! I think the second work area is for the back of the candy. In the past. several designers warned about overlapping our designs, as part of it might turn out "wonkey." I do wonder though, how you can not overlap at times, such as with paper plates. However, since my print is so small, I decided to play it safe. A customer may enlarge it anyway, but I can't control that.
