Custom Art Print Packaging
A print is large, flat and worthless the moment it is creased. Everything about the pack is about keeping it flat, keeping it dry and stopping anything reaching the surface.

You already know what you are packaging, so there is nothing to set up. This opens the design engine with the five-panel folder structures on screen — then you type your own dimensions and the dieline is generated at that exact size.
The structures art print packaging actually ship in
Every one of these is a construction TWOFORM generates a real production dieline for, at your own dimensions — not a template you have to fit your product into. Each opens the engine already on that package type.
Settle this before you design
The corners are what get damaged, so the pack has to be bigger than the print
Damage arrives at the corners and the edges, never in the middle. That means the pack needs a genuine margin of board beyond the print on every side, plus a stiffener. A pack cut close to the print puts the print's own corner right where the impact lands.
The mistake that costs a print run
Rolling a print that should have shipped flat
A tube is compact and it puts a curl into heavy stock that never fully relaxes, and a print rolled too tightly cracks along the ink. Heavier papers and anything with a thick ink film should ship flat. If it must be rolled, use a wide-diameter tube and roll it face out.
How you actually make it
- Open the structure above and type your real dimensions. The dieline is generated at that exact size and validated against real manufacturing limits as it draws — if a size cannot be folded, glued and shipped, it says so before you design anything on it.
- Describe your brand and the AI designs the artwork directly onto that dieline — not onto a picture of a package.
- Place your own logo, barcode and any required panel yourself. The AI leaves them exactly as placed unless you ask it to change them.
- Fold it in live 3D to check it, then download print-ready files to use with any printer — or have TWOFORM manufacture it.
Questions about custom art print packaging
Should prints ship flat or rolled?
Flat wherever you can. Heavy stocks keep a curl and thick ink films can crack when rolled tightly. If rolling is unavoidable, use a wide tube and expect to advise the customer on flattening.
What packaging keeps a print from creasing?
A rigid wrap with a stiffener and a margin of board beyond the print on every side. Corners take the damage, so the pack has to extend past them.
Do I need a backing board?
For anything flat-packed, yes. The board is what stops the print flexing in the middle of a large sheet, which is where a crease starts.
