How to Design on a Collapsible Magnetic Rigid Box Dieline

To get started with your collapsible magnetic rigid box dieline template, begin by making sure your document is in CMYK color mode, the color system used for printing. This can be done by going to File > Document Color Mode > CMYK Mode.

When designing make sure to reference the Collapsible Magnetic Rigid Box Orientation Guide to ensure that you are placing elements in the correct location and orientation. Remember to account for bleeds when adding your designs.

When adding your designs to the main box exterior, designs for the front wall, front flap and top lid can be added in the same orientation but designs on the back and bottom will have to be inverted.

The front flap refers to the front side of the box when it is closed, and the front wall refers to the front side of the box when it’s opened. The front flap contains the magnetic closure which is secured to the front wall.

When adding your designs to the main box interior, only designs on the front wall will have to be inverted. The rest of the designs can stay in the same orientation.

For both interior and exterior side walls, you can ensure you’re looking at it in the right orientation when the edge with the tab sticking out in the middle is downwards.

Due to the composition of the collapsible magnetic rigid box, the triangle at the end pieces of the side wall exterior will be hidden because it will be glued to the main board. The triangles inside of those are where an adhesive will go, and thus will also be hidden once the box is properly assembled for use.

When you're done designing, double check it with the dieline orientation guide to make sure that everything is in the correct location and orientation.
