Start with the manufacturer’s dieline
Design on the confirmed dieline for the selected box or label. Do not scale a design from a different pack without checking dimensions, folds, glue areas and bleed. Ask which panels may be hidden during assembly.
Organize the required content
Create a content sheet before design. It may include brand name, product identity, net content, directions, precautions, ingredient information, manufacturer or importer details, country of origin, barcode and registration information. Requirements vary, so obtain local regulatory review.
Supply professional source files
Provide vector logos, linked or embedded high-resolution images, outlined or supplied fonts and correct color references. Avoid screenshots of logos and low-resolution product images. The final package should include editable source files and a reference PDF.
Design for the printed size
Check minimum text size, contrast, barcode quiet zones and whether important content crosses a fold. Print a 100-percent paper proof. A layout that looks spacious on a monitor may be unreadable on a small box.
- Correct dieline and bleed
- CMYK color setup
- High-resolution images
- Editable text and vectors
- Barcode verification
- Final content approval
Control revisions
Use clear file names and one approval owner. Mark obsolete versions and issue a final signed PDF. Last-minute corrections sent through chat can be missed if they are not reflected in the controlled artwork file.
Review before printing
The buyer should approve brand and legal content; the factory should review dieline fit and print production. Neither side should assume the other has verified every destination-market requirement.
Product registration, permitted ingredients, labeling and import requirements vary by market. Confirm destination-country requirements with the relevant authority or qualified adviser before ordering.
