Question
What file format should I use for packaging artwork?
Answer
4OVER4.COM accepts high-resolution PDF, AI, PSD, and EPS files for packaging artwork. Setting the file up correctly before you upload is what keeps colors accurate and text safely inside the trim.
- Accepted formats: PDF, AI, PSD, and EPS at high resolution.
- Resolution: 300 DPI.
- Color mode: build in CMYK for accurate color reproduction on press.
- Bleed: 0.125 inch on all sides.
- Use the template: download the blank template or dieline for your specific product so the artwork sits inside the trim, bleed, safe zones, and fold lines before you export.
PDF is usually the safest choice because it locks in fonts, layout, and colors, which reduces surprises during production.
