The Dieline

A dieline is a pattern or outline used in packaging design that shows where a box, label, or other container will be cut, folded, or assembled. It acts like a template, helping designers and manufacturers ensure that the packaging pieces fit together perfectly and look as intended. The dieline indicates edges, fold lines, and cut points on flat sheet material, making it an essential tool for transforming printed designs into three-dimensional packaging. It’s a critical step in the packaging process, ensuring precision and consistency from design to final product.
