Question

What file format do I need for 4OVER4.COM die cuts?

Answer

Submit a vector file so the cut line stays crisp at any size. 4OVER4.COM accepts your artwork through the standard upload at checkout.

  • PDF, AI, or EPS with the artwork and cut path on separate layers
  • The die line drawn as a vector path in a spot color, named something like CutContour
  • The cut-path color set to overprint or non-printing so it does not show on the final piece
  • 300 DPI artwork, CMYK color, and 0.125 inch bleed past the cut line

Canva files are not accepted directly, so export a print-ready PDF first. Have the final dimensions and the dieline ready before you upload.
