What Is a Packaging Dieline?

A dieline is a flat, two-dimensional diagram that outlines the exact structure of a box before it’s folded and assembled. It acts as a layout guide showing where to apply artwork and where the packaging will be cut, creased, and glued during printing. This technical blueprint is essential for ensuring design accuracy and structural alignment. 

 

We provide our dieline files in three main formats to suit your needs:

  • PDF: View and share with ease
  • AI (Adobe Illustrator): Fully editable for custom artwork
  • EPS: Flexible and compatible with many design platforms

Frequently Asked Questions

We’d love to answer all the questions you may have before downloading your free dieline templetes.

What is a box dieline template?

A box dieline template is a flat structural layout showing the panels, flaps, cut lines, crease lines, bleed and safe areas used to produce a box.

Are these dieline templates free?

Yes. The standard-size templates shown on this page can be downloaded without charge. Custom-size dielines may also be requested through the form.

 

Which file formats are available?

Available formats are displayed on each template card. Depending on the structure, downloads may include PDF, AI or EPS files(on demand).

 

Can I edit the templates in Adobe Illustrator?

Available formats are displayed on each template card. Depending on the structure, downloads may include PDF.

 

 

 

 

Can I resize a standard dieline?

Do not stretch or proportionally resize a production dieline. Request a new dieline based on your exact dimensions to preserve the correct panels, folds, flaps, and glue areas.

 

Are the dielines ready for commercial printing?

The templates are intended as professionally prepared starting files. Your final artwork, dimensions, material thickness and production requirements should still be checked and approved before manufacturing.

 

 

 

What does L × W × H mean?

Length is normally the longest opening-side dimension, width is the shorter opening-side dimension and height is the depth of the assembled box. The orientation can vary by structure, so confirm the diagram before designing.

 

 

How much bleed should I add?

Use the bleed shown in the downloaded dieline and confirm it with your printer. Do not assume that every printing process uses the same bleed requirement.

 

 

 

Can you create a dieline for my exact product size?

Yes. Submit your box style, internal dimensions, product information and preferred material through the custom-dieline request form.

 

 

 

Can I use these dielines for commercial projects?

Yes. You may download, modify and use our free dieline templates to create packaging artwork for personal projects, commercial products and client work.
