If you’ve just finished designing your product boxes or labels and are ready to export your file, follow these simple steps to ensure a high-quality result.

General Guidelines:

For high-quality printing, always export your designs using the PNG format with a transparent background. This is especially important for product boxes and labels to ensure the clarity of details.

Set your resolution to 600ppi (pixels per inch) for sharp print quality and choose the “Art Optimized” option for anti-aliasing to smoothen any edges.

Exporting from Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop

• File Format

Choose PNG for designs that require transparency, or PDF for high-quality, scalable designs.

• Resolution

Set the resolution to 600ppi in the export settings.

• Anti-Aliasing

Choose “Art Optimized” to ensure smoother, crisper edges.

• Color Mode

Ensure the document is in CMYK color mode to avoid color discrepancies during printing.

Steps:

1. Go to File > Export > Export As.

2. Select the file format (PNG/PDF).

3. Set the resolution to 600ppi.

4. Enable transparency if needed.

5. Click Export.

Exporting from Figma

• Select the Frame

In Figma, click on the design frame or object that you want to export.

• File Format

In the Export Settings, choose PNG for transparent backgrounds, or PDF if you need a scalable format.

• Resolution

Figma exports at 1x resolution by default, but for print, select a higher resolution (such as 2x or 3x) to match the required 600ppi.

• Anti-Aliasing

Figma applies anti-aliasing by default.

Steps:

1. Select the design frame.

2. In the Export section, add an export format.

3. Choose PNG.

4. Increase the export size to 2x or 3x to match the print resolution.

5. Click Export.

Conclusion

Whether you are using Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or Figma, the key steps for high-quality exports are the same: choose PNG format for transparency, ensure the resolution is high (600ppi), and select anti-aliasing for clean edges. Follow these guidelines for a professional finish on your product boxes and labels.
