Question

What file format should I use for aluminum foils artwork?

Answer

Submit aluminum foil artwork as a high-resolution vector or press-ready file so edges stay crisp and colors print predictably. Set the file up in CMYK at 300 DPI minimum with proper bleed.

  • Accepted formats: PDF, AI, or EPS.
  • Color mode: CMYK.
  • Resolution: 300 DPI or higher.
  • Bleed: 0.125" on all sides.
  • To let the raw aluminum show through as a design element, leave those areas transparent or uncolored in the file.
