Naming & Sending Files

Naming Files
It is important to provide a unique name to your files in order to avoid any confusion. Most pcb manufacturers receive hundreds of zip files a day, many with the name “proto.zip.”

In addition, when revisions are made, the name of the zip file must be changed. If the file does not have a unique name, our auto-data recall process may pull up an old file to build the revised order.

Please remember to keep every zip file name unique.

Sending Files
