Features / JETDIELINE

Design the artwork directly on the real dieline

You see your design where it will later sit. Text, images, and shapes lie on the panels of the packaging, and the app immediately shows when something is too close to an edge or crease.

Tools like a graphics program

You work with layers, text, shapes, the pen tool, and the eyedropper. You link images or embed them in the project. Text works in several writing systems, including right-to-left scripts and Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

Colors and finishes for print

You define colors as CMYK, spot, or brand colors, including gradients. Finishes such as spot varnish, hot foil, and embossing are kept as their own separations. This way the printer can tell which elements are color and which are finish.

Check notes while you design

The check runs along as you work, on the real dieline. It looks at the safety margin, bleed, glue flap, creases, image resolution, and color. Each note names the affected spot and explains what to do.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to create my design in JetDieline?

No. You can design the artwork in the app or export the dieline and continue working in Illustrator, Affinity, or Inkscape.

Are the colors on screen accurate?

No. The on-screen display is not color-accurate. For color-accurate results you need a proof or a press proof from your printer.

What you should know

JetDieline supports you with construction, design, and checking. It does not replace approval by your printer or a built sample. Screen and 3D displays are not color-accurate.
