File Setup

For best possible output, please provide the original high resolution (300 dpi) layered files in .pdf format set to CMYK color. Be sure to “Create Outlines” on all non-variable text to preserve fonts.

We also accept .ai, .eps, .psd, .jpg, .png, .gif and .tif files @ 300dpi.

Please be sure to add the correct amount of bleed as outlined in the templates.

In addition, it is important to keep all critical content within the safety area to ensure that this information does not get trimmed during the cutting process. Before submitting your files, be sure to remove the template from your design so it does not get printed.

Our setup guide also contains detailed information on how to prepare your files for sequential numbering, variable data, barcoding, magnetic strips, etc.
