When engineering custom mailer boxes, CAD dielines must be flawless. Vector lines dictate cuts, scores, and bleeds. A millimeter of error can cause structural failure on the assembly line.
The Core Anatomy of Vector Dielines
Always separate your cut lines (solid magenta), score lines (dashed cyan), and bleed margins (solid green) on distinct technical layers before submitting to pre-press production.
Tolerance in High-Speed Die Cutters
Automated flatbed die-cutters require a minimum of 1.5mm tolerance between adjacent creases to avoid board cracking along the flute lines.
