Step 01

Read the dieline

Mark the top, base, inside and outside panels on the supplied drawing. Locate cuts, scores and locking areas before placing text or artwork, and confirm the viewing orientation when the blank is folded.

Step 02

Check an assembled print

Look at graphics that cross adjacent panels and at text near edges. Open and close the printed sample to find information hidden by flaps or closures, then correct the artwork on the controlled drawing.
