: In which format should I save the file for printing on cellophane packaging? I have a layout with transparent parts. How can I make sure that this parts will be stil transparent after printing?

@Caterina889

Almost any file destined for print these days should be saved as a PDF/X-1a:2001 file regardless of the actual printing substrate.

However, ask your print provider to be certain.

This will depend on the art: if it is all type and solid colors, probably AI/EPS/vector. Check with the print supplier.

Note that "normally," white is actually the paper color. For a "clear paper," you will need an actual white swatch.
