Hi Creators,
Have you checked out the four new bags we just added to the print, cut & sew offering? Take a look here and let us know what you think 😁

Very nice.. but honestly I’d separate them as products. The backpack designs don’t appear to transfer even marginally well to anything but the cross body bag. Patterns appear to be huge on the duffles and pouches. It looks like the section that transfers is the front pocket of the backpack and it is sized up to fit the other configurations. If I were choosing I’d probably show the backpack and cross body as a single product and the others - duffels and pouches as a separate, if related product.. Sure I could go in and use the settings to create them as separate - this size, shape only etc. but this often is either too restrictive or not restrictive enough.. easier to just separate them in the first place, into products that actually do play well with one another. It’s fine to do it that way when it’s simple and limited say square vs round, like with buttons, but these products are diverse and pretty drastically different in construction from one another.

Shame that the sizing per panel is not matching on the duffel bag so expect to do tweaks for patterns
and the Dopp Kit bag has issues too with the artwork looking squashed on the left and right layers

@PenguinPower I agree to everything you said. There’s no one design fits all in these bags so seems silly to batch them all together. Will still have to create one at a time and set them for this style only to make sure all the layers match

Really excited about these products but I agree that separating them would make a lot more sense. And I would really love the option to offer a design as the small AND large pouch at once. It’s either one of them or everything. The customer should be able to pick the size between the two.

THANK YOU so much, Alex, for the in depth description and views of these new products. Much appreciated. 😁

I love all the additions. But I have noticed that on the smaller pouch the front product image looks correct with the Initial being centered. But when I view the last image with the pouch open, it looks way off centered, This may actually deter customers from buying as they would probably feel like they wouldn’t know if it was going to turn out right or not. Here is a link to one of the accessory pouches where it looks right in the first image but the last one shows it way off centered:

Also, it doesn’t keep image placement when copying design from the front and pasting it on the back. This makes designing a bit difficult if you want the images to wrap around correctly. I found this completely so by using a square from the elements section for the pink part at the top. When I copy and pasted it to the back the square was almost at the top by the zipper.
Edited to add: The tacked on Product in the title also is missing the letter “h” in the word “pouch”.

I had the same problem with matching an object in the same location on the back when I tried to copy and paste it.

When I first saw “print, cut, and sew,” I thought Zazzle was selling patterns with fabric for customers to put the products together themselves, but then I looked at the actual product descriptions and realized Zazzle is doing the cutting and sewing. If this confused me, isn’t it possible the titles will also confuse customers?

I find the side opening on the SLING BAG (very strange name) to be very odd. This is giving the only access to the main storage area so I would rather it be a larger (top most) opening.
I searched online for “Sling bag” and see that they are available both ways, plus an opening down center of compartment long-wise. I just recently switched to this type of bag - mine has an opening across top, from side to side. Will have to wait and see what the public decides.
Sling bag backside insitu issue (right side view above) is upside down as you can see with the upside down letters H G F E D C etc - artwork correctly placed on the left hand layer
Hope I made sense

this wasn’t obvious to me until I used a dark solid background color for the mesh end of the large duffel bag:
please remove the paler splotches in the lower left corners below and behind the mesh (it doesn’t give prospective clients the best first impression of the duffel bag).
Thank You!

I think need on mockups include human element like hand holding, as many people dont have idea how big is 20 inch, so then later wont say I imagined it was bigger …

Posted this in a separate thread but then found this topic…
If you copy design from the front of a Dopp Kit and paste it to the back, the design is placed much higher. Have to manually move everything down for the front and the back to match. Basically, front and back of the Dopp Kit do not match. Even the grid, if you turn it on, extends further on the front.
Accessory Bags also have similar problem. Please fix that. Thank you.

Great to see more new products! I have been hoping for cosmetic bags for ages! Agree with above, alignment is all out from front/back so difficult for us to align well. Agree should be separate products listings. The customer unlikely to be able to get things to align correctly if they are swapping to a different product type.

The “indexing” is a bit behind on these. I navigated to duffle bags and sorted by Newest and the newest one listed is still same one from the very early morning hours of 3/23. Also, there are about half a dozen on the first page with no image, clicking them gets the Oops no product found page. They’re all from the same designer too so something glitchy there the Creator may need a heads-up on if it’s something they can fix on their end. (Been like this for two days since I started checking results to see if mine has shown up yet.)
More on Dopp Kit. The little flaps on the left and right sides, the design size on them looks different in different preview pictures. I tried to match the pattern as best as I could but on Front view the pattern looks small, Side view - it looks better but squished vertically. Very confusing.

For the duffel bags, the Left and Right sides have a different green guideline but in the previews they seem identical. I don’t understand what the little green safe zone for the Right side is telling me?

@ColsCreations I’d guess the small safe zone for the right side indicates the part of the design that will definitely not be behind the mesh pocket

LOVE these products !! but - as said here before - alligning front and back of the accessory pouch is off. Esp. difficult with designing horizontal stripes, or getting texts / names at the same height. The Dopp Kit is lovely but a nightmare in designing; to get all the different areas the same size is very hard! (Same goes for the backpacks by the way). If you could olaese fix this…
