If you are creating a great package design, a dieline is an essential starting point.
The dieline is the template for the package. It is a flat version of the package that shows where all the folds and cuts need to be made. It will serve as a guideline as to how the product should be designed when it goes to the printer.
Why Are Dielines Important?
Dielines provide valuable information for the creation of the final product. This includes the following:
· The size, scale and dimensions of the package
· The location of visual elements like the logos, text and images.
· The placement of tabs, folds, connection points, eye marks and cuts
· Bleed requirements and other unique elements that will go into the manufacturing
