Emoji-face layered display
Smiley Candy
Smiley Candy is a decorative display in pastel colours with black outlines: rounded letters that carry simple faces — eyes, smiles and blushes — plus small arms and legs on some characters, arranged in two lines with a name-tag speech bubble above and a scalloped label beneath.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Smiley Candy.
The two words are stacked and each letter is a character: the bowl of a letter becomes a face, the terminals become arms, and the feet sit on the baseline, which turns the word into a cast rather than a text line. The construction is deliberately layered — a filled shape, a black outline, a blush and a face — and the badge at the lower right says five layers, which is what a buyer needs to know for cutting and printing. Because the characters need room, the letters are spaced generously, and the specimen sets the block large on a cream ground with a small heart and stars. The type below the block is a rounded sans in black on a scalloped label, which is the only neutral voice on the plate.

Card for a child's party
Faced letters read as characters, which is exactly what a small child responds to, and the layered construction can be flattened to one colour for a home print.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A6 card: the name at 30 pt, the details in a 9 pt rounded sans, and two stars. Keep 14 mm margins, keep the faces above 3 mm so they survive at card size, and print one ink on a white card.
Pre-production check
Check the 30 pt name, where the facial features can blur at 300 dpi; keep the eyes above 1 mm. Confirm the 9 pt details keep a 4.5:1 contrast and that the stars clear the trim.
Sticker set for a party bag
A faced sticker is the favour itself, and the layered cut lets a maker build a set with consistent eyes and smiles across every letter.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Die-cut 45 mm stickers: one letter per sticker at 30 mm, a 2 mm outline, and 2 mm clear to the die. Keep the face features at least 2 mm and print four colours on white vinyl.
Pre-production check
Check the 30 mm letters, where arms and legs can snap at the die edge; thicken them. Confirm the stickers peel cleanly and that the faces stay registered across the set.
Label for a sweet shop
A character label makes a small sweet brand memorable to children, and the flat version prints on a round label without a special process.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 50 mm round label: the brand at 12 pt, the flavour in a 6 pt rounded sans, and one small face. Keep 4 mm inside the die and print three colours on a white stock so the outline stays crisp.
Pre-production check
Check the 12 pt brand, where the face can close into a blob; enlarge the eyes. Confirm the 6 pt flavour reads on the shelf and that the label adheres to a wrapped bag.
