Question

What are the file specifications for submitting custom label designs?

Answer

Custom labels come in nearly any size, so instead of a fixed template you build your file to your exact label dimensions and then follow a few consistent print specs. Getting resolution and bleed right is what keeps the final labels crisp with color running cleanly to the edge.

  • Format: submit a print-ready PDF.
  • Resolution: 300 dpi or higher so text and images stay sharp.
  • Bleed: add 0.25" of bleed all around, extending background art past the trim.
  • Sizing: set your document to your desired finished label size before designing.
  • Tools: Canva or professional design software both work, as long as you export to PDF at the correct size.
