Use a production dieline
The dieline should show cut lines, crease lines, glue areas, window positions and panel orientation. Do not scale artwork without checking the final size.
Buyer Guide
Custom Packaging Artwork Requirements for Print Production
Artwork for packaging is more than a flat design. It needs a correct dieline, bleed, safe zones, color setup, finish notes and readable production instructions so the factory can check it before sampling.

Keep print and finish layers clear
Hot stamping, spot UV, embossing, white ink and cut lines should be named clearly so they are not confused with normal artwork.
Send editable files when possible
Vector files are preferred for boxes and labels. Linked images should be high enough resolution for print.

FAQ
Common Questions
Can I send a PDF?
Yes, but editable source files are better when dieline, color or finish layers need checking.
What if I only have a reference image?
You can send it for early discussion. A production-ready dieline and artwork file will still be needed before sampling.
