A good packaging design needs to look right on the finished box, not just on a computer screen. At Customize Boxes UK, we help businesses prepare, adjust and organise their packaging artwork so it fits the box structure and is ready for production.
Already have a design? No problem. We can work with your existing artwork and make the necessary adjustments. If you’re starting from an idea instead, we can discuss what you need and help you work out the next step.
Get Your Packaging Artwork Ready
There’s a little more to packaging artwork than placing a logo and a few images on a page. Your design needs to work with the box size, shape, panels, folds and dieline.
That’s why it’s best to prepare the artwork around the actual packaging structure from the start.
If you have an existing design, send us the artwork along with your box details and dimensions. We can look through the requirements and identify anything that needs changing before the files move into production.
What Can We Help With?
Every packaging project is different, so the support you need may vary. Depending on your requirements, we can help with:
- Preparing existing artwork for packaging
- Adjusting artwork to suit box dimensions
- Adapting designs to packaging dielines
- Repositioning text, images and logos
- Making layout changes and design revisions
- Preparing print-ready packaging files
- Adapting artwork for different box sizes
- Making sure important design elements sit correctly on each panel
The aim is simple: to make sure your artwork fits the packaging it was designed for and is properly prepared before printing.
Already Have a Packaging Design?
You don’t need to start again just because your artwork needs a few changes.
Perhaps you’ve already created the design but the box size has changed. Maybe you have a new dieline, or some text and graphics need moving to different panels. These are common issues when artwork and packaging specifications are developed separately.
Send over what you have, and we can review it against your packaging requirements.
Have Artwork Ready?
If your logo, images, text and branding are already prepared, provide the relevant files along with the box style and dimensions.
We’ll use those details to understand how the artwork needs to be arranged for the packaging structure.
Getting these details sorted before production can help avoid simple problems such as text sitting too close to a fold, important graphics being placed in the wrong area or artwork not matching the final box size.
Starting With a New Design?
Not everyone has finished packaging artwork ready to go. Sometimes you’ve got the product, the branding and a rough idea of what you want, but the actual box design hasn’t been created yet.
That’s fine.
Tell us about your product, the type of packaging you’re considering, your preferred size and the look you’re aiming for. We can discuss your requirements and explain what will be needed to take the design towards production.
Whether you’re launching a new product or updating existing packaging, planning the artwork around the box from the beginning can make the process much easier.
Need a Packaging Dieline?
A packaging dieline shows how a flat sheet will be cut and folded to create the finished box. It marks important areas such as panels, folds, cut lines and other parts of the box structure.
Your artwork needs to be positioned around this layout so that logos, text, images and other important elements appear in the right places once the box is assembled.
If you don’t have a dieline yet, our dieline design service can help create the structural layout needed for your packaging artwork.
Make Sure Your Artwork Works on the Finished Box
A design can look perfect on screen and still cause problems when it’s placed onto a physical box. The size, folds, panels and finishing requirements all need to be taken into account.
Our artwork support covers the practical side of preparing packaging designs, from adapting existing files and working with dielines to making layout changes and preparing print-ready artwork.
You can come to us with finished artwork, an early concept or simply the packaging details you have so far. We’ll help you understand what needs to be done before production.
