Dieline Generator (SVG/DXF/PDF)
Turn product dimensions into a print-ready packaging dieline — no design software, no manual drafting. Describe the product, get back files your die-cutter can use immediately.
What it does
You give it three things: product dimensions, approximate weight (or material, if you know it), and what the box is for (retail shelf, shipping, or a gift/premium unboxing). It handles the rest:
- Recommends the right paperboard/cardboard grade for the product's weight
- Calculates fold tolerances and crease offsets based on material thickness
- Picks the right box style for the use case
- Generates the flat dieline in SVG, DXF, and PDF — cut lines and crease lines on separate layers, ready to send straight to a die-cutter or laser cutter
Three box styles, chosen automatically
| Style | Best for | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Straight Tuck End | Retail, cosmetics, pharma, small goods | 1 file set |
| RSC (shipping box) | E-commerce, heavy items, corrugated cardboard | 1 file set |
| Base + Telescoping Lid | Premium/gift packaging, watches, jewelry | 2 file sets (base + lid) |
Example: perfume bottle box
Input: "Confezione per un rossetto, circa 2x2x9cm"
Output:
Sviluppo totale: 107.3 x 124.0 mm
Files: dieline.svg, dieline.dxf, dieline.pdf
Example: shipping carton (RSC)
30×20×15cm, 3mm corrugated board — chosen automatically for a heavier, ship-ready product.
Example: premium gift box (base + lid)
9×9×9cm rigid box for a watch — generates two separate pieces that telescope together.

Why it's not just a generic AI drawing
Every dimension in the output comes from a deterministic calculation script, not from the model guessing proportions. Fold allowances, glue flap widths, and minimum cut-to-crease distances follow standard packaging engineering formulas — the same math a structural packaging designer would use. That means consistent, repeatable output every time, not a different result on every run.
Before production
Like any preliminary dieline, validate physical tolerances with your die-cutter before running a full production batch — machine-specific tolerances (blade type, creasing wheel) can vary slightly from the standard formulas used here.
