Paper Chain Questions
What exactly do I get?
A template you open in the editor and export — as a PDF to print, or as a transparent PNG for a cutting machine. Print it as it is, or change it first.
Will it print on my paper?
Yes — A4 or US Letter, whichever your printer holds. Choose it in the editor before you export.
Why print at 100%?
Printers love to shrink things to "fit the page". At 100% the pieces come out the size they were designed at.
Do I need special paper?
Plain printer paper (80 gsm) works. Card stock (100–128 gsm) — stiff enough to hold the link, soft enough to loop.
What are the limits on a purchase?
Three, and they're there to keep this personal: 10 downloads, a 90-day window to edit online and download (the files you download are yours to keep), and up to 5 saved copies of the design. Plenty for a party, a classroom, and a reprint when someone spills juice on the first one. Not enough to run a shop — that's the point.
Free templates come with 2 downloads.
Can I sell what I make?
This is a personal-use license — parties, classrooms, gifts, yes; selling the prints, no.
Do I need glue at all?
Not if you pick the slot version — the strips lock into each other.
How long a chain does one sheet make?
Every strip on the sheet becomes a link. Print more sheets for a longer chain.
Can I put names or words on it?
Both. A name on every link for a class of thirty, or one letter per link so the chain spells HAPPY BIRTHDAY as it hangs.
