Learn More About Packaging Templates - Help & Support

Packaging template goes a long way in the design process assisting designers build the perfect packaging appearance for unique products. This sections entails details on how templates help in the design process and everything that goes in to the process.

Why Is a Die-Line Template Important and What Is It?

A die-line template is the flat blueprint of your box that shows cut, fold, glue, bleed and safe zones. Using it ensures panels line up, text stays within safe areas and the finished pack folds correctly.

Do You Offer Personalised Die-line Designs?

Yes. Share your box style, internal dimensions, material and add-ons like windows or inserts. We will supply a custom die-line built to those specifications.

How Can My Design Utilize a Die-Line Template?

Place the die-line on a separate locked layer, then build your artwork on layers above it. Extend backgrounds to the bleed, keep key content inside the safe area and do not edit cut or fold paths.

Are Die-Line Templates Available for Custom Box Sizes?

Absolutely. Send the product measurements and any tolerance requirements. We will create a die-line that fits your item precisely and supports efficient packing.

What Do Safety Margins and Bleeds Mean in a Die-Line Template?

Bleed is artwork that extends past the trim line to avoid white edges. Safety margin is the inner buffer that keeps logos and text away from cuts and folds. Typical settings are 3 mm bleed and 5 mm safe zone, or 0.125 in and 0.25 in.

Is It Possible to Modify a Die-Line Template?

You can adjust artwork layers, but leave structural lines untouched. If you need a panel resized or a window moved, ask us to update the master die-line.

When submitting a design using a die-line template, which file format should I use?

Export a print ready PDF, ideally PDF X 1a or PDF X 4, with fonts embedded or outlined and images at 300 dpi. Include the die-line as a non printing layer unless we request it visible.

How Can I Make Sure My Design Complies with the Die-Line's Fold Lines?

Use our panel labels and orientation arrows, then run a soft proof or mockup from the PDF. Check that headlines, images and seams do not cross folds in unintended ways.

If My Design Doesn't Fit the Die-Line Correctly, What Will Happen?

Misalignment can cause cut off text, split graphics and visible white edges. We will flag issues during prepress and help you correct sizing or reposition elements before production.
