Free box dieline generator

Yes, and there is no email wall. Set your size, download the SVG, use it wherever you like, including with another printer. We would rather be useful than collect your address.

Solid black lines are cuts, where the blade goes through the board. Dashed blue lines are creases, where the board is pressed so it folds cleanly. Every factory uses this convention.

Yes. Extend any artwork that touches an edge about an eighth of an inch past the cut line, and keep important text an eighth of an inch inside it. Give yourself a quarter inch of clearance from any crease so folding does not crack your artwork.

Inside, always. Board has real thickness, so a box measured from the outside will not fit the product you measured. Our guide on measuring a box covers this properly.

Of course. Mailer boxes, rigid boxes, sleeves, pillow boxes and display units all have their own layouts, and we will draw one for your exact size. Ask us and it costs nothing.

Illustrator, Affinity Designer, CorelDRAW or Inkscape all open it directly, and Inkscape is free. If all you have is Canva or Photoshop, send us the dimensions instead and we will send back a file you can drop artwork into. Do not trace a dieline by hand in a raster tool: the lines have to stay vector to be cut from.

That is the best thing you can do with it. Print at 100 percent with page scaling turned off, cut it out, fold on the dashed lines and put the actual product inside. Paper behaves differently from board, so it will not feel like the real box, but it answers the only question that matters right now: does it fit.

Length, then width, then depth, and always measured inside the box. Length is the longer side of the opening, width is the shorter side, depth is how far down it goes. Almost every sizing mistake we are asked to fix is those three numbers written in a different order.

A die is the shaped steel blade that cuts your box out of a flat sheet. It is a real physical object made for your size, which is why a new size costs more the first time than the second. It is kept and reused, so a reorder at the same size does not pay for it again.

To about a sixteenth of an inch. That sounds fussy until you meet a product that rattles. Measure the product at its widest point in all three directions, then add roughly a quarter inch each way for clearance and any padding, and use those numbers as the inside of the box.
