Wrap a Paper Guide Around a Cylinder Before Layout

A paper guide lets a maker map where a design begins and ends around a cylindrical object before committing to a layout. It is a planning aid, not a substitute for validating a specific object or accessory.

Mark the seam and viewing side

Note the seam, the intended front, and the direction of the text. AntBelt supports cylindrical engraving; final setup and object compatibility should be checked against current project details. See /updates/ for other planning methods.
