Print-Ready Artwork

Prepare Your Files The Right Way

Good artwork files mean sharp printing, accurate colors and no delays. Not a designer? No problem, our team gives free design support and will check every file before printing.

File Formats

Send vector files (AI, PDF, EPS or SVG) for the sharpest print. High-resolution PNG or JPG files also work.

01

300 DPI Resolution

All images and photos should be at least 300 DPI at the actual print size to avoid blurry results.

02

CMYK Color Mode

Design in CMYK, not RGB. For exact brand colors, share your Pantone (PMS) codes.

03

Bleed: 0.125"

Extend background colors and images 0.125″ (3 mm) beyond the trim line so there are no white edges.

04

Safe Zone: 0.125"

Keep logos and text at least 0.125″ (3 mm) inside the trim and fold lines so nothing gets cut.

05

Fonts & Lines

Convert all fonts to outlines. Keep text at least 6 pt and lines at least 0.25 pt thick.

06
Understanding Dielines

Bleed, Trim & Safe Zone

Every box design is printed on a flat sheet and then cut and folded. These three lines make sure your artwork looks perfect after cutting.

  • Bleed line — extend artwork to here
  • Trim line — where the box is cut
  • Safe zone — keep text and logos inside
