Die-Cut Packaging for Paint Boards
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I have final product renders, exact measurements, and brand guidelines ready; what I need now are precise die-cut templates and press-ready PDFs for a paperboard carton that will house a line of paint boards.
You’ll be working directly from my reference artwork, translating it into production-ready dielines with all printer marks—bleed, trim, fold, and glue areas—clearly indicated. The structural design must protect the boards, stack efficiently for retail, and present a clean front panel for our graphics. I’ll supply the dimensions, copy, logos, and colour values on kickoff; you translate that into files a commercial offset printer can drop straight onto plate.
Deliverables
• Native design file (Adobe Illustrator or Affinity Designer) with editable layers
• Locked, print-ready PDF conforming to CMYK, 300 dpi, with outlined fonts
• Separate dieline layer showing cut, score, and perforation paths
• Quick mock-up or 3D preview so we can confirm panel alignment before sign-off
I’ll review the first draft within 24 hours of receipt and provide consolidated feedback. Final approval happens once all panels match our render and the printer’s pre-flight report passes. Clear communication and punctual milestones are important as we are lining this up with a production run next month.
