Peters Dies is not able to read or convert the following file types:

Use a 1:1 scaled ratio.
Use vector line types. Raster images cannot be read or converted.
Extra Lines: All cut, score, perforation and construction lines have the same line type when converted to the die-making software. Be sure to indicate what a line type is, if it is unusual, and delete any construction lines from your file.
View: Indicate if your design is print/outside view, or if it is die/inside view.
Grip Edge: Indicate which rule is the grip edge dead feed and/or extensions.
For high speed presses, (Bobst, Iijima, Miehle, etc.) include a precise measurement from the edge of the sheet to the first cut rule on the grip edge.
