Two ways to start
Already have a dieline? Upload it as PDF, SVG, or Adobe Illustrator and Pack AI detects each panel automatically so you can design straight onto the cut-and-fold geometry. Starting from nothing? Answer a short AI brief and get a drafted layout in under a minute. Not sure what a dieline even is? Read what is a dieline first.
What the AI does with your dieline
The brief plus the dieline's panel geometry go to a language model, which returns a structured layout spec. The browser turns that into editable text and image layers on the correct panels — side-wall text pre-rotated, the front panel treated as the hero, your logo placed with automatic background removal, and your brand palette applied. Nothing is baked in: every layer stays movable, rotatable, and editable.
Export what your printer wants
Export as SVG, PDF at 300 DPI, AI (opens in Adobe Illustrator), PNG, or JPEG. See the export format guide for which one your manufacturer expects, or explore AI packaging design for the full brief-to-print workflow.
Frequently asked questions
What is a dieline generator?
A dieline generator produces the flat, cut-and-fold template a printer uses to manufacture a box or carton. Pack AI lets you upload an existing dieline (PDF, SVG, or AI) or brief the AI to draft a layout on one, then design every panel visually and export a print-ready file.
Can AI design a dieline for me?
Yes. Answer a short brief — product, brand, style, colors — and Pack AI drafts a typographic layout directly on your dieline: text placed and rotated per panel, logo dropped in, brand colors applied. You then hand-tune anything in the editor.
What formats can I export?
SVG, PDF at 300 DPI, Adobe Illustrator (.ai), PNG, and JPEG. PDF and AI are the formats most manufacturers ask for.
Do I need my own dieline first?
No. You can start from one of Pack AI's dieline templates, upload a dieline your manufacturer sent, or let the AI draft a layout — then design and export.
