Question

Can I submit a custom shape file in EPS format for proofing before my designer designs the piece?

Answer

Yes. EPS files are accepted for custom shape products such as die-cut postcards, and you can submit one for proofing before the artwork is finished.

  • Proof first: send the EPS outline to confirm the shape and cut path.
  • Design around it: your designer can use the approved outline as a template for the piece.
  • Cleaner result: laying out artwork to a confirmed die line avoids surprises at trim.

Once the shape is approved, keep key content inside the safe area so nothing important sits near the cut.
