🎨 Artwork Guidelines for Custom Labels

To ensure your custom labels print beautifully and without delay, please follow these artwork guidelines when submitting your design:

✅ File Format

  • Submit print-ready artwork in PDF, AI, or EPS formats.
  • All files should be vector-based with fonts outlined and images embedded.

📏 Bleed & Safe Zones

  • Include 1/16” (.0625") bleed on all sides of your design.
  • Keep critical text and logos 1/8” (.125") inside the cut line (safe zone) to avoid trimming.

🎯 Resolution

  • For raster images (like JPG or PNG), ensure a minimum resolution of 300 DPI at full size.

🌈 Color Mode

  • Files must be set to CMYK color mode for accurate color reproduction.
  • Spot colors should be identified if using Pantone (PMS) for color matching.

🔁 Die Lines & Cut Paths

  • If you have a custom shape, include the cut path as a separate layer labeled “Die Line.”

👀 Proofing

  • You’ll receive a digital proof before production. Double-check for any typos, alignment issues, or design changes before approving.
