Original editorial worksheet: tag visibility after ribbon movement Bright Nest Ideas | Companion to The Tag After the Ribbon Moves Use this sheet to record where the complete recipient identifier sits before and after a decorative change. The worked example is an invented flat model, not a cutting pattern, product test or attachment instruction. Its dimensions are not measurements of a real gift. ALEX is an example name, not a real order. 1. KEEP THE DECLARED MODEL TOGETHER Units: centimetres. Package top: width 24, height 16. Origin: upper-left corner (0,0); x increases right; y increases downward. The model includes only the visible top, not the sides, folds or a bow. Both ribbons are opaque bands of unchanged width: V, vertical: x11-13, y0-16, unchanged in both decorative states. H0, initial horizontal: x0-24, y7-9. H1, moved horizontal: x0-24, y3-5. Name areas below are stipulated rectangles that contain the entire name. They are not estimates made from a photograph or a count of visible letters. 2. WORKED PLACEMENT RECORD A: independent fixed tag Tag: x1-9, y10-14. Name area: x2-8, y11-13. Initial V + H0: neither band overlaps the name area; clear in this model. Moved V + H1: neither band overlaps the name area; clear in this model. Reason: the name ends at x8, before V starts at x11. It begins at y11, below H0's bottom at y9 and H1's bottom at y5. Limit: an attachment holding those coordinates is assumed, not demonstrated. B: tethered tag in its original position Tag: x8-16, y6-10. Name area: x9-15, y7-9. Initial V + H0: H0 covers the whole name area. V also crosses its middle. Move only H0 to H1, leaving this tag in place: H1 no longer overlaps it, but V still covers x11-13 within its y7-9 name area. Not wholly clear. The exposed strips x9-11 and x13-15 do not establish that ALEX is readable. Do not count one moved band as removal of every obstruction. B revised: a new declared position after the change Tag: x15-23, y10-14. Name area: x16-22, y11-13. With V + H1: neither band overlaps this name area; clear in this model. The same coordinates would also clear V + H0. This is a placement result, not proof that a real tether will keep the tag at those coordinates. Any later swing or displacement ends the assumption; check the result again. Figure-reading note: fixed-tag.png shows A in both decorative states. tethered-tag.png shows original B before the change and revised B afterward. It does not show a separate middle panel with H moved but B still at x8-16. That intermediate case is explicitly recorded above, not inferred from a photo. 3. OPTIONAL RECTANGLE CHECK, NOT A READABILITY SCORE For one opaque band and the declared name area, compare their x intervals and y intervals. An overlap in both directions obscures the intersection. To record an area, use overlap width times overlap height; count regions covered by both bands only once. Do not add the same crossing area twice. Here every declared name area is 6 by 2 = 12 square centimetres. A, either state: covered name-area intersection = 0. Original B, V + H0: union of covered name-area intersections = 12. Original B, V + H1: covered intersection = 2 by 2 = 4. Revised B, V + H1: covered intersection = 0. These are areas of an imaginary rectangle, not percentages of letters read, legibility measurements, recommended clearance margins or real test results. For a real object, boundary contact, shadows, folds and letter shapes still need a complete-name check in the intended final state. 4. USE THE CHECK ON YOUR OWN PROJECT [ ] Identify the intended reader and the complete recipient identifier. [ ] Distinguish the tag boundary from the area containing the whole identifier. [ ] Record each decorative layer that could cover that area, not just a crossing. [ ] Before changing anything, read the entire identifier without guessing. [ ] Make the intended decorative adjustment using materials appropriate to the project; this worksheet does not specify an adhesive, tie or attachment. [ ] Observe the resulting tag position. Do not reuse its old coordinates if it moved. Check every remaining layer and read the complete identifier again. [ ] If any part is hidden or uncertain, revise the arrangement and repeat the final-state check. Matching colour alone is not a recipient identifier. [ ] For several gifts, check each gift separately after its last adjustment. If an arrangement changes later, reopen that gift's check. This sequence is a planning aid, not a certification that a tag will remain attached, that materials are suitable, or that the package has been tested. Before buying extra tags or ribbon, establish which visibility problem remains; the worked result supplies no preferred brand, shopping list or tested product. 5.
