Question

What file formats are accepted for water bottle labels?

Answer

Water bottle labels print best from a high-resolution vector or press-ready raster file. Vector formats keep logos and small text razor sharp on the curve of a bottle, while flattened raster files need to be built at full print resolution to avoid soft edges.

  • Preferred: print-ready PDF with fonts embedded or outlined
  • Also accepted: AI, EPS, PSD, and high-resolution JPEG
  • Resolution: 300 DPI at final print size
  • Color mode: CMYK, not RGB, so on-screen colors match the press
  • Bleed: extend artwork 0.125 inch past every trimmed edge
