Designing a product on Zazzle is fun. But you know what they say…when you have fun, do it safely! No, you won’t need to go to a drugstore to stay safe on Zazzle. All you have to do is design within the lines! What do we mean?
Well, when we’re making all of the cards, buttons, and more that you order every day, our production teams work very hard to make sure every piece of your image and text are included in your final product. However, even sometimes, if you fill up the entire card area edge-to-edge with text, it sometimes becomes very difficult to make it just so.
Today we’ve just launched a new guide when you are designing products called the “safe area”. When you are designing your next products, you’ll want to keep all text and the key parts of your images (faces, etc.) within the safe area. Design within the lines, like so:
This will help our awesome production team make sure you get the product exactly as you designed it. And even if you slip up and leave something important just outside of the safe area, they’ll take care of you anyway.
Our production folks were so happy that we implemented this safe area, some of them actually cried. Real tears. No, really.
