The best custom packaging decisions connect structure, material, print, and logistics. Use this guide to prepare a clearer brief and ask better questions before production.
Keep structure and artwork separate
Use the approved dieline at 100% scale and do not move cut or crease paths. Place artwork on its own layers and keep structural lines visible for review but excluded from final print output.
Build in bleed and safety
Extend background artwork beyond cut edges and keep small type, logos, and critical details inside the indicated safety area. Confirm exact requirements with the printer because tolerances vary by process.
Package the production file
Supply the requested PDF standard, outlined or packaged fonts, linked images at effective resolution, named spot colors, and separate layers for foil, white ink, varnish, or embossing.
