Question

What file formats are accepted for name labels?

Answer

For name labels, print-ready vector or high-resolution files give the cleanest results. The widely accepted formats are PDF, AI, PSD, and EPS, with PDF preferred because it locks fonts, colors, and layout in place across systems. Set your file up like this:

SpecRequirement
File formatPDF (preferred), AI, PSD, or EPS
Resolution300 DPI minimum
Color modeCMYK, not RGB
Bleed0.125 inch on all sides
FontsOutlined or fully embedded

Starting from a blank template sized to your label keeps the bleed, trim, and safe zone correct from the first click and prevents the most common file rejections.
