Question
What file formats are accepted for product labels?
Answer
4OVER4.COM accepts the common design formats for label artwork, and a print-ready PDF gives the most reliable results because it locks in layout, fonts, vectors and colors.
| Format | Best for |
|---|---|
| Preferred, preserves fonts and vector artwork | |
| AI | Native Illustrator vector files |
| PSD | Layered Photoshop designs |
| EPS | Scalable vector graphics |
| JPEG | High resolution only |
- 300 DPI minimum resolution.
- CMYK color mode for accurate press color.
- 1/8 inch (0.125 inch) bleed past every trimmed edge.
- Trim marks so the cut lines are unambiguous.
- Fonts outlined or embedded so nothing reflows.
The same file requirements apply to specialty runs like Beer Labels Printing.
