Logo for Packaging — Workflow Example
Placing a logo on product packaging requires a vector SVG source, a dieline template from the printer, and a prepared for downstream print review PDF export. Here is the complete workflow.

No account is required to create or view the protected preview. The preview accepts one PNG, JPEG, or WebP file up to 4 MiB; other source formats must be exported or converted to one of those formats first. Editable SVG export requires paid or complimentary access. Review the exported SVG in the appropriate downstream software; non-SVG formats and machine instructions require separate conversion.

Example: A user has a PNG logo and needs to prepare artwork for a 50ml cosmetics box — a folding carton with a dieline provided by the packaging printer.
Step 1 — Vectorize the logo. Upload the PNG logo to the Logo Vectorizer.
Step 2 — Import the dieline. The packaging printer supplied an AI dieline file. Open it in Illustrator. The dieline shows: bleed (3mm around all edges), trim (the cut line), and safe zone (5mm inside the trim). Create a new artwork layer above the dieline.
Step 3 — Place the SVG logo. Drag the SVG logo into the artwork layer. Scale it to the appropriate size within the safe zone of the front panel. Add product name, size, and regulatory text in the specified font.
Step 4 — Set up colours. Convert all fills to CMYK. Match the logo colours to the Pantone equivalents in the brand guide for consistent colour across production runs.
Step 5 — Export as PDF/X-1a. Hide the dieline layer. Export the artwork as PDF/X-1a at 300 DPI with 3mm bleed and trim marks included. Send to the packaging printer for prepress approval.
Result: a prepared for downstream prepress review packaging PDF with a scalable vector logo, CMYK colours, and correct bleed — ready for production.
