THE SHORTEST ROUTE TO A REAL PACKAGE
Structure first. Artwork second. Regrets never.
Packaging is a chain reaction. Get the shape right, design on the actual panels, then look at the whole thing before anyone reaches for a press.
Make the dieline honest.
Put the artwork on the real panels. Keep type off folds, carry colour through bleed, and check which way every face turns.
Turn it in 3D.
Spin it. Check the back. Look under the flap. Fix the mistakes before a printer finds them for you.

Good packaging earns the second look.
Boxes, pouches, tubes, and labels. Different formats, same job: be clear, be memorable, and be ready to make.

BEFORE YOU SEND IT
Six checks cheaper than a reprint.
Run this list once. Then run it again with the printer's spec sheet beside you.
✓ Structure and scale
Confirm finished dimensions, material thickness, glue areas, folds, and the dieline scale before placing final artwork.
✓ Bleed and safe zones
Extend artwork to the printer's required bleed and keep small type, legal copy, and key marks inside agreed safe areas.
✓ Colour and imagery
Use the requested colour space and profiles, verify spot-colour names, and inspect image resolution at final output size.
✓ Type and links
Package or outline fonts only when requested, confirm linked assets are present, and avoid unintended overprint settings.
✓ Finishes and layers
Keep varnish, foil, emboss, white ink, cut, and crease information on clearly named production layers.
✓ Content and compliance
Proof every panel and confirm applicable labelling, language, barcode, recycling, and product-specific requirements before release.
If the 3D preview feels wrong, the physical package will not make it better.

Three questions. Straight answers.
What is a packaging dieline?
The flat production template for a package. It shows the cuts, folds, bleed, glue, and safe areas that the artwork has to respect.
Why bother with a 3D preview?
Because flat artwork hides mistakes. A 3D view shows upside-down panels, awkward folds, buried copy, and a front that does not read from the shelf.
Can I do this in a browser?
Yes. CraftyWand handles dielines, artwork, 3D mockups, saved projects, and exports without a desktop install.
