Artwork boundary rule

The template controls the actual offsets

Avery's guidance illustrates the three concepts clearly: the cut/trim line is the final label edge, full-bleed backgrounds extend beyond it, and important content belongs inside the safety area. The numerical offset varies by product/template, so this tool asks you to enter the supplied values instead of hard-coding a universal bleed.

What the result is useful for

Use this as a quick rectangular dieline planning check before placing artwork against a vendor template.

How the calculation works

Full artwork adds two bleed values to width and height; safe dimensions subtract two safe insets from the trim dimensions.

What this calculator cannot know

Packaging dielines can contain folds, flaps, glue areas, curves, windows and non-print zones. This rectangular calculator does not replace the supplied structural dieline.
