MOONDEER GRAPHICS • PACKAGING DIELINES

Retail-ready packaging dielines that pass strict compliance.

I build and revise dielines for real manufacturing constraints—print, fold, glue, seal, fill heights, UPC orientation, safe areas, and retailer-specific requirements (including Loblaw-style specs).

Logos shown here are placeholders for layout. When using real marks, present them as “experience with” (not endorsement) and redact where required.

Retail compliance is where packaging dies.

Loblaw-style requirements (and similar retailer/vendor specs) can be brutal: safe areas, seal zones, ink restrictions, barcode orientation, minimum text size, dieline clarity, and submission rules.

  • Fewer rejection loops
  • Cleaner handoff to printers and manufacturers
  • Consistent dielines across SKUs

What you get

  • Clean AI dieline + production PDF
  • Callouts for folds, glue/seal areas, safe zones
  • Barcode placement/orientation guidance
  • Optional: redacted portfolio examples for approval
If you have a napkin sketch, I can turn it into something manufacturers can actually use.

Sole proprietor, built for precision work.

Moondeer Graphics is a one-person studio focused on production-grade packaging dielines. I’ve also done logo work, business cards, neon signage, product image cleanup, retouching, 3D modeling/rendering, and PVC card layouts—but right now the site is intentionally focused on dielines.

As the studio expands, we’ll add separate service pages for: PVC cards (Evolis), product photo cleanup, 3D rendering, and more—without diluting the dieline message.

Best fit clients

  • Manufacturers submitting to strict retailers (Loblaw-style)
  • Small businesses needing packaging from rough concepts
  • Teams with existing dielines that need revisions fast
  • Multi-SKU projects requiring clean, efficient nesting
