Artwork FAQ

Do I need a vector file?

Vector (AI/PDF) is best for sharp edges, especially for small text. If you don’t have it, send the highest-res PNG/JPG you have.

What if my link doesn’t work?

Make sure access is set to “Anyone with the link can view/download.” If unsure, email the file to care@upperlabels.com.

Can you help fix my artwork?

Yes. If we spot issues (low resolution, thin lines, tiny text), we’ll suggest quick adjustments before production.

Will you match colors exactly?

We print based on your supplied file. If color is critical, leave a note and we’ll advise.
