Question
What file formats are accepted for Rack Cards?
Answer
Send rack card artwork as a print-ready PDF where you can. The format keeps fonts, colors, and layout fixed, which is what makes the print match the design.
- PDF (preferred): flatten transparencies and embed all fonts
- AI and EPS: vector files with fonts converted to outlines
- PSD and TIFF: flatten layers before exporting
| Requirement | Setting |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 300 DPI |
| Color mode | CMYK |
| Bleed | 0.125" on all sides |
| Safe margin | Keep key text 0.125" to 0.25" inside the trim |
| Fonts | Embedded or outlined |
A rack card is read while it sits in a display, so keep the headline near the top of the layout and inside the safe margin.
