Question
What file specifications do I need for custom die-cut cards?
Answer
Custom die-cut cards need two files: your printed artwork and a separate outline that defines the cut. Providing both up front keeps production accurate and avoids delays.
- Print file: a print-ready PDF at 300 DPI or greater, sized to your final dimensions with bleed.
- Die-cut file: a separate vector file drawn in the exact custom shape you want cut.
- Color mode: supply artwork in CMYK for accurate print color.
- Upload: attach both files when you place the order online.
Keeping the die line on its own layer or file makes it easy for the team to separate the cut path from the artwork.
