Pouch mockups that start from your dieline
A flat pouch file never looks like the real thing: once sealed and filled, the film bulges and the artwork curves. Boxobox will fold your pouch dieline, seal it and inflate the free area, so you see the pack as it will sit on the shelf.
Not available yet. Pouches are on the roadmap, after boxes and tapered jar labels. Join the waitlist to hear when they ship.
What changes between flat and filled
- Seals eat the edges. Seal areas are flat and often crimped: anything placed there is squashed or hidden.
- The middle bulges. Text and logos near the centre stretch slightly; elements near the seals bend away.
- Front and back meet. On pillow pouches the back seal runs down the middle of the back panel: check that it doesn't cut through your barcode.
Planned formats
- Pillow pouches (back seal and two end seals)
- Three and four side seal sachets
- Stand-up pouches with gusset: later
Boxobox is in development.

Questions
What is a pouch dieline?
It is the flat layout of a pouch or sachet: the front and back panels, the seal areas (where the film is heat-sealed), and sometimes a tear notch, hang hole or zipper line.
Can Boxobox make a stand-up pouch with a gusset?
Pouches are not available yet. Flat pouches and sachets come first; stand-up pouches with a bottom gusset are harder to simulate and come after.
Will the pouch look inflated?
That is the plan: fold and seal the dieline, then gently inflate the free area between the seals, so the artwork curves the way it will on a real filled pouch.
