• Port Printing has a number of die-cut templates available for download in PDF format.

  • To use an existing die-cut template, place the die-cut PDF template into your InDesign or Illustrator working file.  Leave the die-cut template at the bottom layer of your artwork, even in your final press-ready PDF.

  • Ensure your working file document size is the same as the die-cut PDF template size.

  • Do not move or alter an existing die-cut template, as it lines up perfectly with a physical die.

  • For a double-sided design, flip the entire die-cut template horizontally for the back side.  Use the flipped template for placement, however the template file is not required in your final press-ready artwork on the back side, only the front side.
