One-Piece Folding Box Artwork: Keep the Brand Clear Across the Folded Panels

One-piece folding box artwork needs to be reviewed in the assembled shape. Coordinate the brand mark and product information across the panels, with folds and opening areas included in the layout discussion.

Work from the proposed panel layout

Use the confirmed structure drawing to identify front, side, base and opening panels. Mark which areas remain visible after assembly. Treat a flat artwork sheet as a construction layout as well as a graphic surface.

Keep the reading order intact

Place primary branding on the intended viewing face and practical information where it can be read. Check decorative elements that cross folds or meet at edges. Avoid using a sales-growth claim as a substitute for a clear artwork objective.

Approve an assembled mock-up

Review the completed shape with the contents inside. Check orientation, opening access and artwork placement. Keep the approved structure and graphic versions together; if panel dimensions change, review the artwork on the revised shape before proceeding.
