About this plugin
Give your visitors working packaging tools, right on your own pages:
- Box dieline generator. Visitors pick a box style (tuck end cartons, mailer boxes, snap-lock bottoms, shipping boxes, sleeves), type a size and watch the exact dieline draw itself, with cut, fold and bleed lines and the flat sheet size.
- Barcode and QR code generator. EAN-13, UPC-A, EAN-8 and UPC-E barcodes and QR codes at true print size, with check digits and scan checks, and free PNG downloads.
- Sheet layout calculator. How many boxes fit on a press sheet, the waste, and the cost per box. A handy quoting aid for print shops.
Add a tool with the DielineKit widget block, or with a shortcode:
- [dielinekit] – box dieline generator
- [dielinekit widget="dieline" style="rett" unit="in"] – starting on a mailer box, in inches
- [dielinekit widget="barcode" type="ean13"] – barcode generator, starting on EAN-13
- [dielinekit widget="sheet-layout"] – sheet layout calculator
- [dielinekit attribution="yes"] – adds an optional credit line under the widget
Shortcode options: widget (dieline, barcode, sheet-layout), style (rte, ste, rett, snaplock, rsc, sleeve), unit (mm, in), type (qr, ean13, upca, ean8, upce), height (starting height in pixels), attribution (yes or no; no by default).
The widgets are free to use on any site. Widgets resize themselves to fit their content. No account or API key is needed.

com) inside an iframe. Nothing is sent until a page with a widget is viewed.
- What is loaded and when: when a visitor views a page containing a DielineKit block or shortcode, their browser loads the widget from https://dielinekit.com/embed/. The block editor also loads a preview of the widget while you edit a page containing the block.
- What is sent: the widget address, which includes your site’s domain name (so DielineKit can count which sites use its widgets) and the starting options you chose. As with any web page, the visitor’s browser also sends its IP address and user agent.
- In the widget: the widget sets no cookies and stores nothing in the visitor’s browser. DielineKit records anonymous usage events (for example, that a widget was loaded or which box style was chosen) and error reports, together with your site’s domain. Barcode numbers, links and other text typed into a widget stay in the visitor’s browser and are not sent to DielineKit unless the visitor chooses to open the full tool on dielinekit.com.
