Are there any instructions or tips about lining up design layers on the front and back of, for example, water bottles? That is, where the design pieces meet (see photo)? And what is the difference between "front, back" and "full" layers?
Thank you!

@k8hayes I've found it's best to ignore the front/back layers of the water bottles as the insitus that are provided are a bit borked as they don't show the 'front' just the side eg
If you work solely on the full layer option you can then use the insitus
I did managed to line up a tile (using the centered tiling option) so that it matched at the back - lot of tweaking
but it isn't a perfect match.
Using the front and back with a pattern will never line up perfectly due to the mapping of the product (at zazzle's end)
but with a bit of tweaking and using the 'full layer' you can get it close (ish) with a centered tiling pattern though your mileage may vary depending on your artwork.
