For print & production

See the flat size before you print

Every template you download is drawn with its overall width × height — the flat, unfolded bounding box your press, cutter and quote actually need. On screen, and in every download.

What you get

The overall size, drawn for you

Bounding-box dimension lines mark the outer width and height of each flat blank — clearly separated from the panel dimensions of the folded box.

Outer width × height, on every template

Each template shows its overall outer width and height — the flat, unfolded footprint of the blank — as clean dimension lines with arrowheads and the exact measurement, drawn straight onto the artwork.

  • Flat blank size
  • Width × height
  • Arrowed & labelled

Every part is measured separately

Multi-part dielines get an outer width and height for each part. Trays, lids, inserts and combined layouts are all measured — so a two-up or a full imposition is as clear as a single box.

  • Multi-part aware
  • Per-part sizing
  • Combined layouts
Why it matters

Flat sizes, without the busywork

Flat blank, not folded box

We tell the overall bounding-box dimensions apart from the individual panel dimensions, so you always know which number is the sheet footprint and which is a fold.

On every file

PDF, DXF, SVG and PNG all carry the dimension lines, so the flat size travels with the file to whoever cuts, prints or prices it.

Your units

Millimetres, decimal inches or fractional inches — every measurement matches the units you are already working in.

Accurate to the cut

Dimensions are taken from the true outer cut line of the blank, down to a hundredth of a millimetre — not a rough estimate.

Zero manual measuring

Never drag a ruler across a dieline again. The overall size is calculated and drawn the moment your dieline is generated.

37,000+ dielines

It works across the entire template catalogue — from tuck-end cartons to trays, sleeves, mailers and shippers.

How it works

From dieline to flat size in one step

1

Pick or generate a dieline

Start from any of 37,000+ templates, or enter your own length, width and height.

2

We find the bounding box

The outer extents of each part's flat blank are computed from the true cut geometry.

3

Dimensions appear

Overall width and height dimension lines are drawn onto the dieline, distinct from the panel dimensions.

4

Download with dimensions

Export to PDF, DXF, SVG or PNG — the flat sizes come with the file.

Frequently asked questions

What is a dieline's flat size, or bounding box?
It is the overall outer width and height of the unfolded, flat blank — the rectangle the whole dieline fits inside. It is the size you print, cut and buy board for, as opposed to the finished folded dimensions of the box.
How is this different from the panel dimensions?
Panel dimensions measure individual faces of the finished box, such as a 100 mm front panel. The bounding-box dimensions measure the overall flat blank. We label them separately so the two are never confused.
Which file formats include the dimension lines?
All of them. The overall dimension lines are drawn into the PDF, DXF, SVG and PNG exports, as well as the on-screen preview.
Does it work on multi-part and nested layouts?
Yes. Every physical part gets its own overall width and height, and when you nest dielines on a sheet the overall sheet size is dimensioned too.
Which plans include it?
Dieline Bounding Boxes are included on the Business and Business Plus subscriptions, and for one-off Credit Pack downloads. See the pricing page for details.
