The green border looks not centered after I posted the product, but in the design tool it looks good

I put a green border around the image with the element given by Zazzle. In the design editing it fits the center, but after I posted the design, I always have doubts if it is centered. Do you have the same issue and how do you solve it? Is there a trick.  This design is a little bit extreme for noticing the problem and it is one a cover Photo

1) I can't speak to the design tool vs. preview issue - you might want to post a link.

2) If you want to be sure something is centered, it's always best to use the align tool rather than just eyeballing it:Cat_0-1743794108942.png

3) In general, Zazzle has advised us to avoid this sort of border because of the way the cards are printed. Somewhere, eons ago, one of the Zazzle mods posted a video that showed us the system used - they print the invites on big sheets and then cut a big stack to size all at once, so there's always the chance that something will get slightly off-centered in that process - which is why there's the green safe line vs. blue "cut" line vs. red bleed line. They aim to cut it at the blue line, but it has a margin of error anywhere between the red and green line. So in a nutshell, you'd be better off deleting that border all together because any centering imperfections will stand out like a sore thumb.

Beautiful design, BTW!
