Question
What file formats are accepted for decals?
Answer
For decal printing, 4OVER4 accepts the standard print-ready file types, and a properly built PDF is the safest choice because it locks in your fonts, colors, and layout exactly as designed.
- Accepted formats: PDF (preferred), AI, PSD, and EPS.
- Vector art: AI and EPS are ideal for custom die-cut shapes and crisp logos or line work that must stay sharp at any size.
- Raster art: PSD and flattened images should be built at full size so detail holds up in print.
Before you upload, check your file against these basics so it prints as intended:
| Setting | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 300 DPI at final size |
| Color mode | CMYK |
| Bleed | 0.125 in on all sides |
| Safe zone | Keep text and logos a safe margin inside the cut line |
| Fonts | Outlined or embedded |
