What do you need to start your design? 1. Adobe Illustrator or Adobe InDesign - it is recommended you use one of these two programs to create print-ready files. 2. Dieline.Generate and download the dieline from Newprint website 1. Go to Newprint's Custom Packaging page. 2. Browse the page and click on the type of packaging that you need (for example, Auto Bottom Box with Tuck Top). 3. Enter the size of your box and click Preview. You can preview 2D and 3D versions of your box. 4. Click Download PDF Dieline and save it to your hard drive. Edit your dieline file There are a few things you need to do in order to set up this file correctly and use it as a base for your design: 1. Drag and drop the PDF file you generated to Adobe Illustrator. The key elements of the dieline template are Trim Lines, Fold Lines, Bleed Area and Glue Area. 2. The template is also generated with a white rectangle object in the background and it needs to be deleted. Click anywhere on the white area to select the rectangle and press Delete on your keyboard to delete this object.  3. Go to File / Document Color Mode and change the colour mode to CMYK. 4. Rename the layer to Dieline and lock the layer. It is very important that you do not move the dieline or change the artboard size 5. Add a new layer. 6. Click and drag the new layer below the dieline layer. Double-click the layer name and rename the new layer to Artwork. This way the dieline will be on its own layer, and the design elements on a separate layer. It is very important that the dieline and the artwork are on separate layers.How to set up your design The background elements should go all the way to the edges of the artboard, but the glue area must be ink-free (white).Do not trim the design to shape. Keep all important design elements (text, logos etc.) at least 0.125'' away from trim and fold lines. If you use images in your design they must be set to 300ppi resolution and to CMYK colour mode. Line and stroke thickness should be at least 0.25pt.Export and upload print-ready PDF 1. Before exporting the PDF, turn off the visibility of the Dieline layer by clicking the eye icon next to it. 2. Go to FILE / SAVE AS, choose the destination for your file on your hard drive, and choose PDF from the 'Save as type' dropdown menu. Click Save. 3. A new dialogue box will pop up. In the Adobe PDF Preset dropdown menu choose Press Quality and click Save PDF. 4. To upload your PDF and add it to your order, go back to the page where you generated the dieline template. Make sure you enter the box dimensions that correspond to your dieline file. Click Upload Your Design. Once the file uploads, you will see 2D and 3D previews of your design. Add the file to your order.

What is a box prototype?A box prototype is a hard copy sample of your box that is cut exactly to your box dimensions and shape. You have the option of ordering two types of hard copy samples:A printed prototype can be ordered in case the flat size of your box does not exceed 13 x 19 inches. This means we will print your box design on a sheet of paper, cut it to shape and glue it, so you can assemble the box once we ship you the prototype.In case the flat size of your box is bigger than 13 x 19 inches, we will send you a blank prototype (no printing) that is cut to the right size and shape. We will also send you a flat printed sheet with your box design and the box dieline on it.Why do I need a box prototype?Ordering a prototype is highly recommended because in many cases that is the only way to make sure your box is the right fit for the product that goes inside. In case the box size or box design needs to be edited, with a prototype you are able to detect these mistakes and correct them prior to printing a bulk order.In case your box design has small text on it, having a printed prototype is the only way to check if the text is legible. Or, if you are applying labels or stickers to your box, with a printed prototype you can make sure the labels will not interfere with the text or any other important design elements.Box prototype is NOT an exact replica of your finished product, it serves as content and size proof only. Special coatings and embellishments can not be applied on a proof. The colours on the printed proof may be different from the colours on your finished product. How to order a box prototype?The prototype needs to be included in your online order.Once we receive your order, we will print the prototype, diecut and glue it and send it to you for approval. We will not print the bulk order before the prototype is approved.In case you need to update the design after seeing the prototype, you should email us the new file and we would send you a digital proof. If you would require another printed prototype, there would be an additional fee for that.

In case you don't have your print file ready and you need help with the design, we have a team of graphic design experts who can turn your idea into a professional-looking design that is print-ready.  We offer two types of services - Basic Artwork Setup and Standard Creative Design. Basic Artwork Setup Select this option if you need us to fit your existing artwork to the product template that you are ordering. This is not a creative design option and it only covers minor edits to your existing design files, such as scaling, adding or removing an image or type, correcting the page size and page counts, as well as adding bleeds. Standard Creative Design Choose this option if you have your design elements such as logo, photos and text and you want us to design the layout and set up your file professionally for print. You will need to provide us with the content and instructions once our designer contacts you to start the project. This option allows up to 2 hours of design service and 3 revisions of proofs. You will be able to interact with a proofreading interface to make comments to your proof for further corrections and changes. Additional charges may be added if you exceed 3 revisions of proofs. Your assigned designer may revise the time required to complete your design if it will take more than 2 hours. How to Add Graphic Design Services to your Online Order Go to the Proof Type dropdown menu and scroll down. Basic Artwork Setup and Standard Creative Design will be the last two options in this dropdown menu.
