Gerber File Guide

How to prepare Gerber files for PCB manufacturing.

Complete manufacturing files help engineering teams review board structure, drill data, outline and finish requirements before production planning.

Required file package

A reliable PCB file package should include copper layers, solder mask layers, silkscreen layers, board outline, drill files and any fabrication drawing available from the CAD system.

Manufacturing notes

  • Confirm units, layer naming and board outline before export.
  • Include plated and non-plated drill information when applicable.
  • Add stackup, material, finish and special inspection notes.
