Direct answer: For factory printing, send editable vector artwork when possible, confirm final label dimensions, outline fonts, keep images high resolution, define white ink or metallic areas, and include the bottle or box photo. The file should show what prints, what cuts, and what remains transparent.
Start with the actual dieline
The dieline is the production boundary. A rectangular design may look simple, but curved perfume bottles, tapered caps, and small back labels need exact width, height, corner radius, and safe margins. If the dieline is guessed, the first sample becomes a sizing test instead of a production proof.
Separate print, cut, white ink, and special finish
Clear labels, UV DTF stickers, nickel stickers, and metal plates use different file logic. White ink should be clearly marked. Metallic, embossed, raised, brushed, or no-label-look effects should not be hidden inside a flat JPG mockup. Add a short note layer or exported PDF explaining each finish.
Check text before sending the file
Small perfume labels often fail because ingredients, volume, batch code, and distributor text are too small. Keep critical text readable in the final physical size, not only at 200% zoom on screen. If legal information is long, move it to the back label, box, or insert card.
| File item | What to provide | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Logo | AI, PDF, SVG, or high-resolution PNG | Keeps edges sharp |
| Dieline | Final size / dimensions | Controls cut and placement |
| Colors | Pantone, CMYK, or sample reference | Reduces color drift |
| Finish | Matte, gloss, clear, metallic, raised | Controls production route |

FAQ
Can I send only a JPG mockup?
A JPG helps explain the look, but editable artwork is safer for real production and color control.
Should fonts be outlined?
Yes. Outlined fonts avoid missing-font changes when the factory opens the file.
Can WowSticker help check the file?
Yes. Send the file, bottle photo, size, material preference, quantity, and delivery country for review.
