Question
What file format should I use for custom box artwork?
Answer
For clean, print-ready box artwork, supply vector files and set them up for print before you send. Vector formats scale without losing sharpness and keep folds and cut lines crisp.
- Format: vector AI, EPS, or PDF works best.
- Color mode: CMYK, not RGB, so colors print as expected.
- Resolution: 300 DPI minimum for any raster elements like photos.
- Dieline: design on the manufacturer's template so artwork aligns with panels, folds, and cuts.
