I’m currently working on custom box layouts and product packaging designs for client projects (specifically inspired by structural dieline standards from sites like https://zeepackaging.com/.
While Figma is amazing for UI/UX, I’m running into a workflow issue when preparing print-ready dielines for manufacturing:
-
CMYK & Spot Color Export: Figma natively exports in RGB, which causes color shifting when sent to commercial packaging printers. How are you handling CMYK conversion without destroying component styles?
-
Bleed & Trim Lines Setup: What is the best practice for setting up bleed boundaries (3mm/0.125") and fold/score lines inside Figma components so they don't get displaced during auto-layout adjustments?
-
Vector Precision for Dielines: Is it better to draw cut/crease lines directly in Figma or import vector dielines via SVG from Illustrator?
If anyone has an efficient workflow or plugin recommendation for packaging design export in Figma, I’d love to hear your insights!
