Frequently Asked Questions

Dielines

Die Cut Templates offers DXF files in 2 different units: mm and inches.
After downloading the DXF file in either units, it's important that those units match in Adobe Illustrator. If not matched, Illustrator might think 1mm as 1inches.
We prepared a blog post showing how to import DXF files into Illustrator.
Direction marks indicate which direction is considered as up or down. This option can be beneficial when using the Nesting tool, as the tool may rotate the original dieline depending on the template. By using direction marks, the designer can easily see that the dieline has been rotated, and can adjust the graphics accordingly.
Crosses mark the most outer points in the dieline.
They are added when exported for 3d mockups so the artwork can be added in the correct positions.
Chooing offset or flexo printing method affects the material thickness in the dieline. When offset is selected, the material will be somewhat squeezed (10%) so material thickness in the dieline is adjusted for that. With flexo, the material thickness doesn't change because material will not be squeezed.
