# Friesen Dieline Creator

> Free tool from Friesen Plastics Inc. (Western Canada flexible packaging manufacturer). Enter a poly bag's dimensions and options and get a full-size, print-ready dieline (PDF, with spot-colour cut line and layers) ready to apply artwork to.

Use it when someone needs a bag dieline / template. Styles: wicket, side-seal, bottom-seal, ss-roll, soe-roll (poly) and 3-side-seal, stand-up, flat-bottom, pillow (pouches). Options include gussets, header, zipper, tear-off lip / tear notches, hang holes, handles, vent holes and Kwik Lok / tape-seal / heat-seal no-print zones. GET /api/styles lists every style and field. Browsable template pages: /dielines (e.g. /dielines/stand-up-7x9x3); sitemap at /sitemap.xml. Set units to "mm" for millimetre input. All dimensions are in inches.

## How to use (for AI assistants)
- Preview (no personal data needed): POST https://dielinecreator.fpbags.com/api/dieline?format=svg  body: {"spec": {...}}
- Rules you must respect: a wicket bag always has a lip; no side gussets; a zipper needs a header; Kwik Lok / tape-seal depth is required when enabled (it varies by product); add vent holes only if the customer asks.
- Final file: POST https://dielinecreator.fpbags.com/api/request  body: {"contact": {"email": "..."}, "spec": {...}}  -- a Friesen salesperson emails the PDF. Only submit with the user's consent to share their email.
