About DielineMaker
DielineMaker is a free, browser-based dieline generator, packaging editor and 3D mockup studio. It takes a package from a size to a print-ready file: choose a structure, size it, put artwork on every panel, watch it fold in 3D, then export the dieline and print files.
What it does
- 6,692 parametric dieline templates built from 950 structures in 15 families: tuck end cartons, mailers, shipping boxes, trays, sleeves, displays, rigid boxes, food packs, carriers, cards and tags, labels, bags and pouches, plus apparel, print products and screen artwork. 1,326 carry a FEFCO or ECMA style reference.
- Sizes as inside, outside or manufacturer’s (crease-to-crease) dimensions in mm, cm or inches, with the board caliper allowed for, from 0.42 mm carton board to 4.6 mm corrugated.
- Dielines as PDF, Illustrator, SVG, DXF or CF2 with each line type on its own spot separation or layer, plus print-ready PDFs with artwork, bleed and dieline.
- 6,692 3D mockups and 115 scene presets for PNG or JPG stills up to 8K, MP4 or WebM clips up to 4K–8K and GLB or USDZ models.
- A PDF, DXF or SVG dieline from a supplier can be imported, mapped to cut and crease lines and folded in 3D.
Free tools
- Dieline generator: Choose a real box structure, enter the size and board, inspect its flat blank and folded preview, then open the editor for PDF, SVG and DXF.
- Packaging mockup maker: Turn sample cartons, mailers, bottles and cans in 3D, try studio colours or photographed backgrounds, and save a PNG preview.
- Barcode generator: EAN-13, UPC-A, ITF-14, Code 128, Code 39 and Interleaved 2 of 5, with the check digit worked out and the quiet zones sized for print.
- QR code generator: Links, Wi-Fi logins, contact cards, email and phone codes with rounded or dotted modules, a framed call to action and your logo.
- Box size calculator: Inside, outside and manufacturer’s dimensions for real box structures and boards, with the flat blank, board area and knife length.
- Dieline to 3D: Check a supplier’s DXF or SVG dieline in the browser: line types, panels, size and knife length, then fold it in the 3D studio.
How it works
The dieline engine, the editor and the 3D renderer run in your browser, so there is nothing to install; signed in, your projects and kept exports also sync to your private cloud library. Every template is parametric: change a dimension or the board and the panels, flaps and tucks are redrawn, and the 3D preview folds the same blank your printer will cut.
Plans
Designing is free with Google sign-in. Paid plans add unlimited downloads: Lite (from $7.99 / month) clears the watermark from mockups and videos, Pro adds dieline and print file downloads with every export clean, and Pro and Business are billed per seat for teams. See pricing for every plan.
How we write guides and comparisons
Our packaging guides explain dielines, box dimensions and mockups in plain terms. Comparison and best-of pages name the sources behind each claim about another product, with the date they were checked. Where DielineMaker appears in its own lists, it ranks itself first and says so on the page.
