Quote information

A product size or existing box sample is enough to start. If artwork exists, the cut line can be checked against print position.

Open drawings and internal dimensions for shoe box dies

For printers and packaging manufacturers producing shoe boxes, the cutting and creasing die is prepared from the approved open drawing. Show internal length, width and height, board structure, the lid-body relationship, glue or locking areas and any ventilation opening together. Use the actual space needed for the shoes and protective filling.

If a retail box sits inside a shipping box, describe the dimensions and purpose of each separately. Retail lid fit and the outer shipping structure involve different drawing decisions.

Common questions

1

Can you make a die from an existing shoe box?

Yes. The open dieline, creases and lid allowances can be measured from a physical sample.

2

Does offset print require extra checking?

Yes. Print registration and cutting lines are checked together to reduce artwork shift.

3

Can you produce one die for one shoe model?

Yes. A die can be prepared for a single model, sample or small-batch production.
