Key Takeaways

• A dieline is the flat blueprint of a box showing all panels, fold lines, cut lines, glue tabs, and bleed areas
• AI dieline generators create print-ready templates from text descriptions in under 60 seconds
• Traditional dieline creation requires CAD software like Esko ArtiosCAD ($5,000+ per seat)
• Cubit is the only free AI dieline generator that produces structurally accurate packaging templates

What Is a Packaging Dieline?

A packaging dieline is the flat, 2D template of a three-dimensional box — showing every panel, flap, and tab in their correct positions with:

• Cut lines (solid) — where material is cut
• Fold lines (dashed) — where material folds
• Glue tabs — adhesive panels
• Bleed areas (3mm) — artwork extending beyond cut lines
• Dimension annotations — width, height, depth
