A dieline is the technical template used to prepare your packaging for production, showing where the box will be cut, folded, and assembled to ensure accurate manufacturing. After your order is confirmed, Cartor will prepare your dieline file for review so the structure of your packaging is finalized before design and production begin.
Now it’s time to add your artwork to the approved dieline. To make sure everything prints correctly, your design should follow the proper format, sizing, and layout requirements for packaging production, and if you do not already have a design team, Cartor can assist you with preparing artwork that is ready for print and aligned with your packaging vision.
Once your design is ready, we can prepare digital mockups so you can preview how your packaging will look before production begins. This helps you review the overall appearance, check text placement, confirm branding, and make any final adjustments so your packaging looks exactly the way you want before it moves forward.
After final approval, your packaging moves into production and Cartor begins manufacturing your custom boxes according to the approved specifications. Our team stays in touch throughout the process to keep you informed on progress, so you always know what stage your order is in until it is ready for dispatch.
