Box dieline to your dimensions
Enter width, depth and height and get a 1:1 packaging template with cut and fold lines in a second. Send the file to a print shop, a designer or a cutting plotter.
🔒 The dieline is built in your browser. Your dimensions are never sent anywhere.
Thickness affects the width of the slots between the flaps of a shipping box.
A window can be cut in a wall or the lid: choose the place, shape and size and move it with the sliders. The window is covered with clear film from the inside. The hanger is available for the tuck-end box.
Extend backgrounds and images to the outer edge of the green band, and keep text and the logo outside it. The dimensions and the band are on separate layers: turn them off before printing.
The estimate is approximate: based on the dieline bounding box with bleed and 10 mm sheet margins. A print shop may nest them more tightly.

Drag the box to rotate it. The yellow dots change width, depth and height, the blue one scales all dimensions proportionally. Full screen gives finer control, views and zoom.
A dieline is only the shape. For a box to sell, it needs design: write to us, and we will design it in your brand style.

- Enter the dimensionsWidth, depth and height in millimetres. The drawing updates instantly.
- Download the filePDF, SVG, EPS or DXF at 1:1 scale.
A customer sees not a drawing but a package on a shelf or in a courier’s hands. We will design a logo and brand identity that look good on a box, a sticker and an insert, and prepare the layouts for print.

What a box dieline is
A dieline is a drawing of a box laid flat. It shows where the material is cut and where it is folded. The designer places the artwork on it, and the manufacturer die-cuts and assembles the packaging.
Which boxes you can build
A tuck-end box with a side glue flap – for cosmetics, tea, candles and souvenirs. A shipping box with four flaps at the top and bottom – for parcels and storage. A tray with glued corners: two templates of different sizes make a lid-and-base box for gifts and sets. A mailer box that assembles without glue – for online shops. A sleeve that slides over a box or product.
A box with a separate lid – base and lid on one drawing, for gifts, shoes and cakes. A flat pizza box with a hinged lid for the common 250, 300, 330 and 400 mm sizes. A sushi box with a window. A wok noodle box that tapers towards the bottom. A hexagonal box with a lid – for sweets, candles and tea.
Gift shapes: a candy-shaped box whose ends are tied with a ribbon – for sweets, holiday and kids’ sets. A pillow box with curved flaps – for jewellery, cosmetics and gift cards. A gable box with a handle – for bakery, lunches and gifts. A pyramid box closed with a ribbon – for favours, tea and wedding gifts.
For cafés and shops: a two-part burger box, a French fries box with a tall back, a cake box with a window in the lid and a paper bag with side gussets and handle holes.
Envelopes and folders: a classic envelope for C6, C5 and C4 sizes, a DL envelope with an address window, a pointed-flap envelope for invitations and gift cards, and an A4 presentation folder with one or two pockets. All twenty-three templates are free, with print-ready files.
What else the tool does
It calculates the box size from your product dimensions with clearance. It adds a window and a hanger with a euro slot. It shows the assembled box in 3D: you can rotate it and open the lid. It counts how many dielines fit on a press sheet and how many sheets a print run needs, and gives you a sheet layout PDF.
Which lines are in the file
The solid magenta line is the cut. The dashed cyan line is the fold. In the PDF the lines are saved as separate CutContour and Crease colours, as print shops expect. In the DXF the cut and fold lines are on separate layers, which suits plotters and laser cutters.
How to use the dieline
Open the file in Illustrator, CorelDRAW, Figma or Inkscape and place your design under the lines. Before a print run, always make a sample: print or cut the template from your material and assemble the box. For thick board and corrugated cardboard the dimensions may need an allowance for material thickness – agree it with the manufacturer.
Frequently asked questions
Which dimensions do I enter: inner or outer?
Dimensions along the fold lines, that is the outer dimensions of the finished box. If the inner size matters, add two material thicknesses to each dimension.
What scale is the file?
1:1 in millimetres. Print without scaling, using the “Actual size” option.
Is the file suitable for a print shop?
Yes, as a base: print shops accept PDF, EPS and SVG with separate cut and fold lines. The manufacturer may adjust the final die to their equipment and material.
Can I cut the box on a plotter or laser?
Yes. Download the DXF: cut lines are on the CUT layer, fold lines on the CREASE layer.
Do I need to sign up?
No. The tool is free and runs in your browser.
