Dieline & packaging template generator

Body dimensions are exact. Tuck, dust and glue flaps use standard proportions — as with any generated dieline, confirm the final die with your printer/converter before production.

The dieline is where every pack starts.

Get a panel size wrong or forget the bleed and the whole file bounces at pre-press. This gives you the correct template to design on.

Exact panel dimensions

Enter width, depth and height — the body panels come out precise every time, so artwork lines up with the fold.

Cut, fold, bleed & safe layers

Every dieline ships with separated layers and a 3 mm bleed guide, so nothing gets cropped at the trim.

Editable vector, ready to design

Export an SVG that opens straight into Illustrator — design on top of the template, no guessing at sizes.

Dieline questions, answered

What is a dieline?

A dieline is the flat template that shows where packaging is cut (solid lines) and folded (dashed crease lines), plus glue areas, bleed and safe margins. You design your artwork on top of it so everything lines up when the pack is die-cut and assembled.

What box style does this generate?

A straight or reverse tuck-end folding carton from your width, depth and height — the most common retail carton — with glue tab, tuck flaps and dust flaps. It also makes rectangular labels and hang tags. The body panels are dimensionally exact.

Is the dieline print-ready?

Yes — it exports as an editable vector SVG with separate cut, fold, bleed and safe layers, ready to open in Illustrator. Body dimensions are exact; tuck/dust/glue flaps use standard proportions, so confirm the final die with your printer or converter before production.

How much bleed should I add?

Most packaging printers want 3 mm of bleed — artwork extended past the cut so trimming never leaves a white edge. The tool draws a bleed guide you can adjust, plus a safe margin to keep text and logos away from the trim.
