How to Upload Your Label Artwork
To make ordering your custom labels fast and hassle-free, LabelSwift allows you to upload your artwork right inside the price configuration tool on each product page. This ensures your artwork is connected directly to your exact size, material, and finish selections and prevents delays during proofing.
Below is a simple guide to help you get your files ready and uploaded correctly.
1. Prepare Your Artwork File
Before uploading, please make sure your artwork meets our production requirements:
Accepted File Types
Adobe Illustrator (.ai)
Press-ready PDF (.pdf)
Adobe Photoshop (.psd)
EPS (.eps)

300–800 DPI at final print size
Vector artwork preferred whenever possible
Color Mode

2. Upload Your Artwork Inside the Product Page
On every custom-label product, you’ll find an interactive pricing tool powered by UniCPO. As you choose your label size, shape, material, and finish, you’ll see a section labeled:
Artwork Upload
or
Upload Your File
To upload:
Click Choose File / Browse
Select your artwork file from your computer
Wait for the upload bar to reach 100%
Continue customizing your label
Add the product to your cart
Your artwork will automatically be attached to the exact configuration you selected — no need for email attachments or follow-up messages.
3. What Happens After You Upload?
File Check & Pre-Press Review
Once your order is placed, our artwork team reviews your file for:
Correct size, bleed, and resolution
Proper color mode (CMYK)
Print readiness
Any issues that could affect quality
Digital Proof

4. Upload Tips for Best Results
Use short, clear filenames, e.g., Coffee_Label_12oz.ai
If uploading multiple designs, upload one file per variant
Make sure your internet connection is stable — large files may take a moment
For extremely large art files (150MB+), we can provide an alternate upload link
5. Common Questions
Can I upload multiple files?
Yes — simply upload each design one at a time, or place separate products in your cart.
What if my file is too large?
We accept most files, but if yours exceeds the limit, we’ll give you a separate upload link after checkout.
Can I upload a mockup or placeholder?
Yes, but we can’t start production without print-ready artwork.
Do you offer design help?
Yes! We offer full design assistance if you need help preparing your artwork.
