Artwork guide
Dielines and artwork guide
Set up your artwork once and get it right first time. Here are the sizes, the rules, and the easiest route: the 3D studio draws the exact die-cut line for you.
How it works
Four steps to an approved proof
-
Choose your product and size
Pick a mylar bag, sticker, jar label or tuck box. The size tables below show every size.
-
Design in the 3D studio
The studio shows your design on the real product and draws the die-cut line for you. Prefer your own software? Use the sizes below.
-
Upload at 300 DPI with 3 mm bleed
Send PNG, JPG, SVG or PDF files at 300 DPI. Extend your background 3 mm past the cut line.
-
Approve your proof
We send a proof within 1 working day of receiving your artwork. The artwork cut-off is 3 pm. Dispatch is 5 to 7 working days after you approve.
Sizes by product
These sizes come from the live product pages. Set up your artwork at the final size shown, with a 3 mm bleed on every edge.

Glass jars
The label area is the size of the wrap label.

| Tuck box, medium | 80 x 50 x 160 mm (length x width x height) | White board |
| Tuck box, large | 100 x 60 x 200 mm (length x width x height) | Kraft board |
Artwork rules
- File types: PNG, JPG, SVG or PDF, at 300 DPI at the final size. Use SVG or PDF for logos so lines stay sharp.
- Bleed: extend backgrounds and edge-to-edge artwork 3 mm past the cut line, so no white edge shows after cutting.
- Safe zone: keep text and logos at least 2 mm inside the cut line.
- Colour: set up your files in CMYK. Very bright screen colours can look different in print, which is one reason we send a proof.
- Fonts: convert text to outlines, or embed the fonts in your PDF, so nothing changes when we open the file.
- Minimum text size: 6 pt at the final size. Smaller text can be hard to read once printed.
- Barcodes: print them in solid black on a plain white background, keep clear space around them, and do not stretch or recolour them. Keep them off folds, seams and zips.
The 3D studio
The studio draws the die-cut line for you
You do not need to draw a die-cut line. When you upload a logo in the 3D studio, it generates the exact cut line for the size and shape you choose and shows the result on the product.
The studio uses a 3 mm bleed and a 2 mm safe zone, the same rules as above. You still get a proof within 1 working day of artwork.
