Gift bags, favor boxes, etc

[whimsywhim]

Hi!

I'm sorry to ask all these questions.  I tried to find a tutorial on this, and I couldn't.  

How do you add images on the - sides - of gift / favor bags?  I'm starting to look into these products, and I'm at a loss.  Also, when you add those images, do they bleed onto the front or back of the gift / favor bags?  If so, how do you fix that?  

Thank you!

@whimsywhim  Most products will have various views to design on. Front, Back, Background, Side, Top, Bottom.

For  Gift bags, I usually add my designs to the Background view. Some designs require specific placement on the Front/Back

Here is one that uses both: shaded background, Stars and Text on Front, etc.

The easisest way to determine what view to design on is TRY ALL of them and look at the previews.

Thank you for responding.  

With your great help, I figured it out!  I will play with it.  I'm sure there will be something else I can't figure out.  Sigh!

Thanks again!!

If you’re a Photoshop user, you can download a Photoshop plugin called Adobe Design to Print. It provides mock ups and templates of nearly all of Zazzle’s current product offerings. It’s much easier to use than Zazzle’s design tool (in my opinion). I create vector artwork in Illustrator, move the items into Photoshop layers (to create separate png files all at once), publish the completed items to the Zazzle design tool, and add customizable text there.

Unfortunately, I'm not, but it sounds excellent to look into.  Thanks for the advice!
