# What should I have ready to start ordering product images?

For **Outshinery Studio**, the files you send your printer plus your container details. For **Outshinery Lite**, one transparent PNG of the label plus your picks from the library.

**Outshinery Studio**

1. **Layered label files.** The same files you send your printer: a packaged Adobe Illustrator file (.ai, with fonts and links), EPS, or a layered PDF. Flattened files and JPGs cannot carry foil, embossing, or varnish, so we cannot read the finishes from them. [Label file guide](https://www.outshinery.com/cheat-sheet/label-files)
2. **Container details.** Bottle shape (or a technical drawing if it is not in our library), glass color, closure type, and the paper stock if you know it. "I don't know" is a valid answer in the form where offered. [Container reference](https://www.outshinery.com/cheat-sheet/general)
3. **Closure and capsule artwork,** if branded: the vector file.
4. **Optional:** a phone photo of the bottle if it exists, or of a similar one. It helps us check proportions.

No sample bottle. Nothing to ship.

**Outshinery Lite**

1. **One PNG of your label,** high resolution, cropped to the label shape, transparent outside the edges. No shadows or lighting baked in. [Ideal label files](https://knowledge.lite.outshinery.com/doc/ideal-label-files)
2. **Your picks from the library:** bottle shape, closure and finish, glass color, liquid color. [Browse the library](https://lite.outshinery.com/library)
3. **A card** for checkout.

If you only have a PDF or JPG of the label, Lite's [free label prep](https://www.lite.outshinery.com/request-free-label-prep) converts it.
