Question

What file format do I need for a custom shape diecut order?

Answer

For a custom shape diecut, supply vector artwork with a clearly defined cut line so the shape trims exactly where you intend.

RequirementDetail
Accepted files.AI, .PDF, .EPS
Die lineVector path on a layer separate from the artwork
Safe marginKeep text and key elements at least 1/8 inch inside the cut line

That safe margin keeps the trim from cutting into your important content.
