layout file
Explanation:
Si on parle d'un fichier que va être utilisé pour l'impression professionnelle. Pas certain, car il me semble que le contexte laisse plus d'une possibilité, mais je fais souvent la « mise en page » ou « montage » (layout) de fichiers Illustrator. Parfois on fournit des fichiers avec le texte « vectorisé » (ce qui rend son remplacement difficile) et « layout file » est un des termes que j'utilise avec mes clients anglophones.

layout [document]


Explanation:
In the case of printing on packaging this looks the most likely. (Maquette de mise en page/de montage: Mechanical layout"

Otherwise the usual translation (e.g. for mechanical assembly) would be "assembly document/instructions".

Example sentence(s):
  • I'm not sure what font to use here because the text has been vectorized. Can you send me a version of the layout file with editable text, please?
