Question
What file specifications do wine labels need?
Answer
Wine labels reproduce cleanly when the file carries enough resolution and a proper bleed, so no white edges show after cutting.
| Spec | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Bleed | 0.125" on all sides |
| Resolution | 300 DPI minimum |
| Color | CMYK for print |
- Extend background art fully into the bleed so trimming leaves no white slivers.
- Keep text and logos a safe margin inside the trim line.
- Flatten or outline fine details so they stay crisp at final size.
Meeting the bleed and resolution requirements up front helps the label print sharp and cut clean.
