Design Guidelines: How to Use Your Template
All our templates are generated in professional PDF format. To ensure a perfect print result, please follow these critical design rules:
If you use Adobe Illustrator software, please place the template directly or open it using Illustrator
When using Photoshop, you’ll need to set up a new PSD file for the template size or open the template directly into Photoshop. But don’t import the template to an opened PSD as it will change the size.
Other Tips
1. Do Not Scale
Never shrink or enlarge the template. The dieline is generated to your exact specific dimensions.
2. Layer Management
- Keep the Dieline on a separate top layer.
- Place your Artwork on a layer below the dieline.
- Expert Tip: You can hide the Dieline layer to check your design.
3. Hide or delete the templates when you’re done designing
Why Use a Dieline Generator vs. Standard Templates?
Standard box templates often come in fixed sizes that might not fit your specific product. If your product is slightly larger or smaller, resizing a standard template in Illustrator can ruin the structural integrity of the box.
Our Box Dieline Generator solves this problem by calculating the exact fold lines, bleed areas, and glue flaps based on your custom input. This ensures that when you download the box template, it is 100% ready for print production.
