Question
What file format should I use for PVC printing?
Answer
For durable, color-accurate PVC printing, supply a print-ready file that can hold up on the rigid plastic surface. A high-resolution PDF is the safest choice because it locks fonts, vectors, and color together in a single file.
| Setting | Recommended |
|---|---|
| File type | Print-ready PDF (AI, EPS, or layered PSD also accepted) |
| Resolution | 300 DPI at final print size |
| Color mode | CMYK (RGB gets converted and can shift) |
| Bleed | 0.125 inch on all sides |
| Fonts | Outlined or embedded |
Requesting a digital proof before production is the easiest way to catch a color or layout issue before the run starts.
