A simple checklist before sending artwork for print

Get your packaging files closer to print-ready with these practical checks.

Confirm the dieline and measurements

The dieline shows folds, cuts, glue tabs and safe areas. Ask for the correct template for your chosen packaging structure instead of resizing an unrelated box design.

Make sure the measurements on the artwork match the agreed finished dimensions.

Check text and graphics

Review spelling, label information, barcodes and legal details relevant to your product category. Keep important content away from cut lines and folds.

Use sufficiently high-resolution images and clarify whether fonts should be outlined or packaged with source files.

Agree on a proof

Before production, confirm the colour standard, paper stock, lamination and special effects. A physical sample is often worth considering for a high-visibility packaging launch.

Share the artwork in PDF or another format requested by the production team.
