Question
What file formats are accepted for candle labels?
Answer
Send vector art or a high-resolution raster file. PDF, AI, PSD, and EPS all print, and PDF is preferred because it carries fonts, color, and layout across systems unchanged.
| Spec | Requirement |
|---|---|
| File format | PDF (preferred), AI, PSD, or EPS |
| Resolution | 300 DPI minimum |
| Color mode | CMYK, not RGB |
| Bleed | 0.125 inch on all sides |
| Fonts | Outlined or fully embedded |
Starting from a blank template at your label size keeps bleed, trim, and safe zone correct from the first click, which is where most rejected files go wrong.
