Question

What information do I need to provide for a custom die-cut order?

Answer

A custom die-cut order comes together quickly when you supply a clean cut file and a few key specs.

  • A vector file of the exact cut shape, since a die cannot be built from a raster image. This dieline is an outline showing precisely where the cut falls.
  • Paper or stock type and weight.
  • Number of print colors and whether one or both sides print.
  • The final trimmed size of the finished piece, with exact dimensions in inches.
  • Quantity.

The vector die line is what the cutting die is made from, so keep it precise. Not sure where the die cut should sit? 4OVER4.COM can help determine the best placement based on your design.
