Ready to design your custom 5 x 3 x 1.75 Fold Up Box? The steps below walk you through preparing your artwork file using EGP Packaging’s downloadable template. Working through this guide before uploading ensures your file is formatted correctly and ready for press — no back-and-forth required.
1) Go to the 5 x 3 x 1.75 Fold Up Box product page and download the template file to start building your custom printed fold up box design.
2) Extract the zip archive and open the PDF template in your preferred design application — the examples in this guide reference Adobe Illustrator.
3) Your EGP Packaging template includes a color-coded Legend explaining what each line type represents. Review this before placing any artwork so you understand the safe zone, cut line, and bleed boundaries.
4) When working in Illustrator, the template file uses separate layers for each guide category. Use the Layers panel to toggle individual guides on or off as needed while building out your design.
5) Position your artwork elements within the template, keeping critical text and graphics inside the safe zone to ensure nothing gets trimmed during the finishing process.
6) Any artwork intended to run edge-to-edge must extend to the bleed line — stopping at the cut line will result in a white border on the finished box. Convert all text to outlines before saving.
7) Once your artwork is finalized, save the file as a PDF, return to the product page, select your quantity and any additional specs, and add to cart.
8) In your cart, confirm the order details and click checkout. You’ll be prompted to upload your completed 5 x 3 x 1.75 Fold Up Box artwork file and complete the order.
