Question
How do I upload a vector file for a custom die-cut project?
Answer
Custom die-cut projects rely on a clean vector cut line, so 4OVER4 accepts vector files such as AI for these jobs. You will find an upload area within the custom project form, and for die-cut card orders the upload also happens right in the cart once your product is added.
- File type: supply a vector file (AI or EPS) with a defined cut path so the shape is cut accurately.
- Where to upload: look for the file upload section inside the custom project or cart form; after adding the product to your cart, click Next to continue to the upload step.
- Set up the cut line: place the die line on its own layer or spot color so it is easy to identify.
- Recommended: request free online proofs so a file rep can review your files and post digital proofs to your account before printing, the best safeguard against surprises on a custom shape.
- Need help: if you cannot find the upload area, contact support for guidance on submitting the file.
A true vector cut path keeps edges crisp and prevents the shape from being interpreted incorrectly.
