Short answers to what comes up while you make a dieline, from the first size you type to the file you hand the printer.

- How thick should the board be? Type the board's thickness in mm, not its weight. Why it changes the folds, and the boards each box takes. Read →

- How do I use the dieline in Illustrator? Open the PDF, sort the cut, crease, info and safe lines onto locked layers, and put your artwork on a layer of its own. Read →
- What do I send to the printer? The PDF with your artwork and the dieline layers kept, plus a short list of things to check with your printer first. Read →
