Question
What type of files do you accept for Header Cards?
Answer
For header cards, a print-ready PDF is strongly preferred because it holds your layout, fonts, and color exactly as designed. A few other common formats are accepted as long as the artwork is high resolution and built to size.
| Format | Notes |
|---|---|
| Preferred, print-ready | |
| JPG | Accepted at high resolution |
| TIFF | Accepted, uncompressed image quality |
| EPS | Accepted for vector artwork |
- Build at 300 DPI at the final size
- Include bleed and keep the hang-hole area clear of key content
- Use CMYK color for accurate printing
AI and PSD files are accepted too: flatten layers and outline fonts before you export. Add a 0.125" bleed on all sides. The same specs apply to matching labels or packaging in the same run.
