01
Manual vector redraw
Logos, lettering, icons, borders, and graphic elements are rebuilt as intentional paths—not passed through one-click auto-tracing.
Label & packaging artwork
Turn your label artwork into a production-ready vector file.
Send the best artwork you have—even a flattened JPG, low-resolution PNG, scan, or PDF. A professional designer will rebuild it as clean, editable vector artwork and prepare the production details your printer requires.

The production gap
A label is more than an image.
A flattened image may look finished on screen while still missing the structure needed for production.
Blurry edges, embedded text, mixed color values, missing bleed, and an undefined cut path can delay proofing or send the file back for correction. VectorGurus rebuilds the artwork with intentional paths, clean typography, organized colors, and a production structure based on the requirements you provide.

Professional file preparation
Artwork prepared around your production requirements.
We scope each job to the supplied artwork, finished product, and printer specifications—so you pay for the preparation the label actually needs.
02
Dieline and cut-path setup
A separate cut path can be prepared to the finished size, shape, and specifications supplied by you or your printer.
03
Bleed and safe area
Artwork can be extended past trim and kept clear of critical cut areas using the measurements required for your label.
04
Process and spot colors
Colors are organized for CMYK or named spot-color workflows using supplied Pantone values or printer requirements when available.
05
Specialty production layers
White ink, foil, varnish, and other finishes can be separated into clearly named layers when the production job requires them.
06
Editable delivery package
The exact package is confirmed in your quote and may include AI, EPS, SVG, PDF, PNG, and JPG files for production and reference.
File quality comparison
Same design. A much better production file.
The difference is not a file extension. It is the structure inside the file: clean geometry, separated elements, organized color, and production details that remain practical to inspect and revise.
| Production detail | Professionally prepared | Flattened image or auto-trace |
|---|---|---|
| Edges and curves | Clean, intentional vector paths | Rough pixels or overly complex paths |
| Typography | Rebuilt or properly outlined | Embedded pixels or distorted shapes |
| Color | Organized process or named spot colors | Mixed RGB values and stray colors |
| Dieline | Separate, clearly named path when required | Usually missing or flattened |
| Bleed and safe area | Set to supplied production specifications | Often undefined |
| Special finishes | Separate named layers when required | Flattened into the artwork |
| Editing | Structured and practical to revise | Difficult to change reliably |

Have printer specifications?
Send them with the artwork.
The more production information you provide, the more precisely we can prepare the file. Helpful details include:
- Finished size, shape, dieline, or printer template
- Bleed and safe-area measurements
- CMYK profile or named spot-color values
- White ink, foil, varnish, or overprint instructions
- Preferred editable, proof, and production formats
Production responsibilities
Professional preparation, with the right approvals in the right hands.
Before the file goes to press
VectorGurus prepares artwork to the specifications included in the approved scope. Final material selection, press settings, color proofing, substrate testing, and physical cut accuracy remain subject to approval by your printer or packaging manufacturer.
The customer is responsible for final copy, ingredients, claims, regulatory content, trademarks, and barcode data or scannability.
Your printer should approve the final dieline, dimensions, colors, specialty layers, and proof before full production.
Label vectorization FAQ
What to know before you send the artwork.
Have a printer checklist or an unusual production requirement? Attach it to the quote request and we will review it with the artwork.
01Can you work from a low-resolution label image?
Yes. We regularly rebuild artwork from pixelated JPGs, PNGs, scans, screenshots, and flattened PDFs. If an important detail is unclear, we will ask for clarification rather than inventing it.
02Is the label artwork manually vectorized?
Yes. A designer rebuilds the artwork with deliberate paths, curves, typography, and color structure. Automated tracing is not substituted for the professional redraw included in this service.
03Can you add a dieline, bleed, and safe area?
Yes, when the finished dimensions and cut requirements are supplied or confirmed. If your printer has a template, send it with the request for the most reliable setup.
04Can you prepare spot colors, white ink, foil, or varnish layers?
Yes. These elements can be placed on separate, clearly named layers using your printer’s required swatch names, color values, and overprint settings.
05Which files will I receive?
The exact package is confirmed in your quote. Typical deliverables may include an editable AI master, EPS or SVG artwork, a production PDF, and high-resolution PNG or JPG reference files.
06Can you redesign the label as well?
The standard service focuses on accurately rebuilding and preparing supplied artwork. Layout changes, new creative concepts, illustration, copy changes, or a complete label redesign can be quoted separately.
07How much does label vectorization cost?
Pricing depends on the artwork complexity and production setup required. Upload the files for a free review and you will receive a clear quote before work begins.
08How quickly will it be ready?
The schedule depends on artwork complexity, the completeness of your printer specifications, and any specialty production requirements. Your expected turnaround is stated in the quote.
