Question
What file format do I need for custom shaped printing?
Answer
Custom shaped printing needs a clean, print-ready file with the cut path clearly defined so the die knows exactly where to trim.
| Requirement | Spec |
|---|---|
| File type | Print-ready PDF (vector preferred) |
| Cut line (die line) | On its own separate layer, clearly labeled |
| Bleed | At least 1/8 inch beyond the die line |
| Safe zone | Keep key text and graphics at least 1/8 inch inside the die line |
| Color mode | CMYK |
Building the die line as a vector path keeps the cut crisp and prevents important elements from being trimmed off.
