JETDIELINE / Frequently asked questions
Here you will find the key answers about templates, design, checks, export and the app's limits. Each answer links to the relevant feature page.
Yes. There is a free trial for 7 days, available in all countries. Which purchase options apply afterwards has not been announced yet.
The app's interface and help have been checked in German, English and Turkish. Further languages are in preparation. This website is available in more languages than the app.
Each template has a sensible dimension range. If an entry makes the construction unusable, the check shows a finding with an explanation. Confirm the actual manufacturability with your printer.
The constructions are our own templates. For corrugated board, some follow common FEFCO styles and are similar to them. The binding reference is your printer's dimension sheet.
No. You can design the artwork in the app, or export the dieline and carry on in Illustrator, Affinity or Inkscape.
No. The on-screen display is not colour-accurate. For reliable colours you need a proof or a press proof from your printer.
No. The check supports sign-off but does not replace it. Binding approval comes from your printer, ideally after a built sample.
The limits come from the chosen material profile, for example for folding carton board or corrugated board. You can adjust them to your printer's specifications.
No. The model shows geometry and fold sequence. Springback, crease behaviour and stability should be tested on a built sample.
For concepts, pitches and shop previews, yes. The display is not colour-accurate and does not replace a photo of the produced pack.
Cut, crease and perforation lines are held separately and clearly named. That lets the printer assign them to their tooling.
No. The app does not access the network. It creates the package and an email draft, and you send both yourself.
The construction adjusts automatically. However, text and images can sit differently at other proportions, so check the artwork for each variant.
Shops with several shipping sizes, product lines offered in several fill quantities, and printers who offer recurring size ranges.
An up is a single blank on the print sheet. The more ups fit on one sheet, the less material you need per pack.
Yes, as a suggestion. The final layout is set by the printer, because it knows the press, tooling and material format.
An imported reference is fixed geometry and not parametric. For other dimensions, ask your printer for a new dieline or use a template from the catalogue.
Then you assign the lines yourself. The app shows every unassigned line so that nothing is overlooked.
No. You obtain the numbers from your GS1 organisation. The app creates the code from them and calculates the check digit.
The app checks size and quiet zone. Print process, material and colour all affect readability, so test the code on the press proof with a scanner.
The app works entirely on your Mac. It needs no account, uploads no drafts to a cloud and does not access the network.
JetDieline is a native Mac app and uses Apple frameworks only. Light and dark mode follow your system settings.
Project files show a preview in the Finder via Quick Look. You can recognise the draft without opening the app.
Common steps can be started via the Shortcuts app and Spotlight.
JetDieline supports you with construction, design and checks. It does not replace approval by your printer or a built sample. On-screen and 3D displays are not colour-accurate.
With JetDieline, choose a suitable template, adjust its size, and place text, logos, and images directly on your packaging.
