Structural box design and dieline drawing
Box design and vector dieline service
If you have no print-ready or die-ready file, we draw the box from dimensions or a sample: cut, crease and perforation on separate layers, with correct crease allowances and corner forms. The output is production-ready for both your print run and the die.
Who is this service for?
Vector dieline drawing is for brands and businesses without a print-ready/dieline file, those who have a sample but no drawing, and those who want to improve an existing box. Once the drawing is done, the cutting die can be produced from the same file.
The box blank is built from product dimensions or a sample; cut, crease and perforation are split onto separate layers and kept clean for production.
- Brands and businesses without a ready file
- Those with a sample but no vector drawing
- Those who want to improve an existing box
- Those who want to go straight from drawing to die
What we watch for in the drawing
A dieline is not just about looking right; without a crease allowance matched to the board weight and a correct layer split, the box will not fold cleanly in production. So the drawing is built around production from the start.
- Crease allowance based on board weight
- Cut, crease and perforation layer split
- Glue flap allowance and corner radius
- Assembly, lock and closure check
What the drawing needs
Product dimensions and box type are the main inputs. If you have an existing box sample, the blank can also be taken from the sample.
- Product size (width × depth × height) or sample
- Material and board weight
- Box type (locked base, drawer, e-commerce, etc.)
- Print area and quantity note
Common questions
1I have no ready design, only product dimensions; can you draw the dieline?
Yes. The box blank is drawn from product dimensions or a sample; crease allowances and corner forms are set according to the material.
2In which formats is the drawing delivered?
It is delivered as a production-ready vector file in AI, PDF and, when needed, DXF; cut, crease and perforation are on separate layers.
3After the drawing, do you also make the die?
Yes. We can also produce the cutting die from the same file, so there is no dimensional drift between the drawing and the die.
