Orientation of Design ElementsUpdated 2 months ago

When designing your packaging, it’s important to ensure each panel is positioned the right way up. This avoids any artwork appearing upside down or misaligned once the box is folded and assembled.

How to check orientation:

1. Open your dieline in Adobe Illustrator.

2. Locate the labelled panels (e.g. Top, Front, Left, Right) provided in the template.

3. Align your artwork so each element reads correctly when the box is built.

For example:

• Place your logo on the Top panel so it faces upward.

• Place key messaging on the Front panel so it’s visible when opened.

If any panels appear flipped, simply rotate the artwork 180° or reposition it to suit the layout.

Always preview your final file or request a proof to confirm everything is correctly placed before approving for print.
