The reason you're here
One file error is holding up your whole production run.
If any of these sound familiar, that's exactly what we fix — fast.
01
Your printer sent the artwork back asking for a print-ready file with the dieline on a separate layer.
02
You have an AI-generated packaging concept, but it isn’t editable or structured for commercial printing.
03
Your supplier sent you a dieline, but you’re unsure how to place the artwork across panels, folds and safe areas.
04
Your production deadline is approaching, but printing can’t begin until the artwork is corrected.

Questions
Everything you'd ask before sending a file.
Can you turn an AI-generated packaging concept into print-ready files? +
Yes. Upload the concept along with your final logo, copy, images and dieline if available. If the concept is complete and approved, we can rebuild it as editable artwork and prepare it for production. If it contains missing panels, fake text, low-resolution imagery or requires creative changes, we’ll recommend the Packaging Design service.
What does print-ready mean? +
It means your artwork is correctly prepared for production, including the template or dieline, bleed, safe areas, colour setup, images, fonts, production layers and final export format.
What is a dieline, and do I need one? +
A dieline is the flat production template showing where packaging will be cut, folded or assembled. Your printer or manufacturer will normally supply the final dieline.
What if I don’t have a dieline? +
We can help coordinate the required template or quote custom dieline work after receiving the confirmed dimensions, material and manufacturing specifications.
What files will I receive? +
You’ll receive the required production-ready exports and the editable working files created for your project.
How fast is turnaround? +
Standard label and packaging file preparation can usually be completed within 24 hours when complete artwork, the final template and printer specifications are supplied. Design projects require additional time.
What happens if my printer identifies a problem? +
Send us the printer’s feedback. If they identify a technical issue caused by our file preparation, we’ll correct it at no additional charge.
What if I don’t have a dieline? +
The final production dieline is normally supplied by the printer or manufacturer. If one is not available, we can help identify the required next step or quote custom dieline support after reviewing the confirmed dimensions, material and production specifications.
