Dieline Dimensions API
Your dieline's flat size, ready to price
Ask the Dieline Dimensions API for the flat outside size of any dieline in our catalog — boxes, trays, bags, envelopes, separators, folders — at any dimensions you configure, and get the exact sizes back instantly, ready to drop straight into your pricing, quoting and configurator logic.
POST /dimensions/becf-11a02/parts { "variables": { "unit": "mm", "length": 200, "width": 100, "height": 40, "material": 0.5 }, "area": true }
{ "part_list": { "dieline_template_id": "becf-11a02", "total": 1, "parts": [{ "name": "default", "bounding_box": { "unit": "mm", "width": 280.0, "height": 180.0 }, "area": { "value": 48847.29, "unit": "mm2" } }] } }

The technical size of a dieline, on demand
One endpoint, built for the pricing step. Ask for a flat size, get a flat size — an accurate answer in milliseconds, for any dieline in our catalog and any set of variables.
Size a dieline in a single request
Send the variables — length, width, height, material thickness and your unit — and get back the flat width and height of the unfolded blank. That footprint is all your quoting logic needs to work out material usage, imposition and a printing price on the spot.
- Flat outside dimensions
- Any set of variables
- Answer in milliseconds
# request { "length": 200, "width": 100, "height": 40, "unit": "mm" } # response — one part { "category": "carton", "bounding_box": { "width": 280.0, "height": 180.0 } } # → feeds your price
Multi-part dielines, measured part by part
A dieline made of several parts — say an inner tray and a sleeve cover — comes back with the dimensions of each part on its own. Nothing is flattened together and nothing is guessed: it's the true assembled footprint of each part, evaluated for a single copy and measured from the real production template.
- One entry per part
- Trays, sleeves, lids
- Measured, not estimated
{ "parts": [ { "name": "tray", "category": "carton", "bounding_box": { "width": 320.0, "height": 210.0 } }, { "name": "sleeve", "category": "cover", "bounding_box": { "width": 540.0, "height": 180.0 } } ] }
Re-price the same dieline as often as you like — free
You pay one credit for each size you ask for. Ask for the same dieline again within seven days and the stored result comes straight back at no charge — so re-quoting, recalculating and refreshing a cart never costs you anything extra. Simple, predictable pricing you can put in front of every visitor.
- 1 credit per size
- Repeats free for 7 days
- Predictable cost
Made for the pricing step
Webshops, product configurators and quoting tools all need one thing before they can show a price: the size of the dieline. The Dieline Dimensions API gives you exactly that, on demand, so your customer sees an accurate price the moment they change a dimension — no spreadsheets, no manual measuring, no waiting.
- Webshops
- Product configurators
- Quoting tools
Built to drop straight into your stack
Your unit, your numbers
Ask in millimetres, centimetres or inches — the response comes back in the unit you requested, ready to display or feed into your pricing formula.
Versioned & predictable
A pinned API version and a stable response shape mean the response you build against today is the response you get tomorrow.
Sandbox included
A full sandbox host mirrors production so you can wire everything up and test freely before you go live.
Plain REST, any language
A single authenticated POST returns the sizes. cURL, Ruby, PHP or anything that speaks HTTP — no SDK required.
The real footprint, not an estimate
Dimensions are computed from the actual production templates, so the size you quote is the size that gets printed and cut.
Free demo template
The demo template accepts custom dimensions and never consumes credits — on the sandbox or in production — so you can try it at no cost.
