DielineMaker export: print checks, dieline PDF, artwork PDF and editable project

00:00:00.000 Run the checks before choosing an output

Open Print setup and Checks before exporting the Grove tea carton. Review the artwork, structure, material, and any reported findings. Inspect the panel placement, image resolution, text safety, and bleed in the design itself. Automated checks cover specific conditions; a clear report does not approve the carton for every manufacturing process. Confirm the required dimensions, material, tolerances, cut and crease conventions, and finishing with the receiving converter. This tutorial project is a fictional example. Replace it with approved content and make the appropriate physical proof before manufacture.

00:00:38.506 Match the file to its recipient

Open Download and choose the output for the recipient. Dieline PDF is the structural drawing, with technical cut and crease content, dimensions, and a legend. Print PDF includes the artwork and die, with three-millimetre bleed in this example. Expand Options and confirm exactly what will be included. Cutting-plotter and Illustrator handoff choices serve other downstream tools; use the format requested by the recipient. This production-export demonstration was captured in a supported local development preview. In the public application, availability and watermark behavior depend on your account and plan. A technical layer is not a substitute for agreeing how the converter will process it.

00:01:19.476 Inspect the actual exported artwork PDF

Here is the actual print PDF generated by the app for the practice carton. It is one page with the front artwork, background, technical die content, and three-millimetre bleed. The flat trim bounds measure two hundred and thirteen point five by two hundred and nine point five millimetres. Those are flat layout bounds, not the sixty by forty by one-hundred-millimetre inside dimensions of the folded box. Open the output in an independent viewer and inspect its page boxes, scale, artwork, and technical separations. Confirm the glue area and line handling with the converter. The structural PDF and this artwork PDF are both available as practice downloads.

00:01:59.034 Keep the editable source with the handoff

Also download the editable Foldline project. It keeps the structure, artwork, and settings available for later changes. Store it with the original image and the approved output files, using a clear project name and revision. A mockup PNG communicates appearance, while the production files support the specific handoff agreed with the printer or converter. If you later change artwork, dimensions, material, or finishing, create and inspect a new export rather than assuming the previous proof still applies. Use the Learn guide’s input, editable project, structural PDF, artwork PDF, and mockup to practice the complete chain.
