Question

What file formats are accepted for packaging labels?

Answer

We accept PDF, AI, PSD, and EPS for packaging labels. PDF is preferred, because the fonts, color, and layout are locked inside the file.

  • Resolution: 300 DPI minimum
  • Color mode: CMYK, not RGB
  • Bleed: 0.125 inch on all sides
  • Fonts: outlined or fully embedded

Start from a blank template at your label size so bleed, trim, and safe zone are set before you design, which prevents most file rejections.
