Question
What file format should I use for Die Cut Sticker artwork?
Answer
Vector files give the best results for die-cut work because they scale to any size without losing sharpness, and they make the cut path easy to define. If you only have a raster image, use it at high resolution.
| Format | Use it when |
|---|---|
| AI, EPS, or vector PDF | Best choice, scales cleanly |
| PNG at 300 DPI or higher | Only raster is available |
- Include a separate cut-path layer showing exactly where the die should cut.
- Outline any fonts so text does not shift on another machine.
- Build the file at final print size with bleed included.
