Custom Car Air Freshener Guidelines

This page contains how-to guides, photo requirements, text styles, and other components to make sure you get the best results on your new custom air fresheners.

Photo File Types

We support JPG, PDF, AI, EPS, PNG, HEIC, SVG, and more. See all supported formats. For best quality, use vector files (such as  ai, pdf, eps, svg). If you're using raster (png, jpg, etc) image quality needs to be at least 300 pixel per inch.

Photo Print Quality

The material of our custom car freshener is absorbent and textured. Our custom air freshener paper is designed to be ultra-absorbent; therefore, it may slightly mute or change colors, especially black, and reduce resolution.

Use Close-Up Photos

Other Freshener Information

Here are some other freshener topics to be aware of.

Cut Lines

When you are designing your custom car air freshener, you need to be aware of three different lines: text safe (green), die cut (black), and art bleed (red).

  • Text Safe (Green Line) aka Text Line: This is the line where text shouldn’t pass. Text past this line will not be clear.
  • Die Cut (Black Line) aka Image Line: This is the line where the main image shouldn’t pass. Images past this line will not be clear. Do not have your main image or logo go past this line.
  • Art Bleed (Red Line) aka Cut Line: Your background should reach this line to prevent white lines along the edges. This area is great for extra background images.

Freshener Yellowing

In certain conditions, the scent may cause yellowing of your personalized air freshener's unprinted areas. The more color, the less noticeable the yellowing will be.
