Creating Round Stock Project - 6/8/2016 1:05:24 PM

Status: offline 		I want to create a small 2x2 round project. I'm forced to check "this is a stock label", and put in numbers of row and columns just to get to "this stock is a round label". No matter what I do, the project comes up square.

Very frustrated, any help would be appreciated.

Add your design inside the circle, but for a full-bleed effect, make your background go beyond the circle. That way, when you peel the label off, you won't have any white margin on your sticker.

That depends entirely on the label stock you purchased. If any of the numbers are slightly off, all your labels will print misaligned. You need to measure the distances asked for.

Then DO NOT do a label sheet project. Just do a Sign project. Add a circle shape. Change the fill, shadow, outline, etc. to customize your circle.

Here I've added guide lines to help me design a 2x2 circle.

I've seen some downloads online for circle templates/projects, but they aren't adjustable. Surprised round is not available at the start of a project.

Thanks for your time.

There is no such thing as round stock. Printers take rectangular stock. You are talking about circles on rectangular stock, such as DVD/CD templates.

Status: offline 		Can I ask another question?

I've done a 3 x 8 foot banner. But I get an error message when I save in anything but html, which then doesn't display properly. Is there a size limit? I don't find anything searching the Forum.

This is my first day on here, If this need to be a new thread, I will do so. Thanks.

It depends on the type of graphics. Raster graphics of high resolution, filling up the entire banner, would probably crash your computer due to the file size. Vector graphics are fine, as long as The Print Shop does not rasterize them. Give me a few minutes, I'll test it out.

thanks
