Help! Bread package scaling for print!

[DanielMoore]

@MadZo89

First off I want to say I am not a graphic designer, I am a cinematographer/ photographer by trade but recently have been working as a graphic designer in the company that Im currently working for which I am creating a marketing team for (crazy they didn’t have the need for one until recently).

So, I’ve been painstakingly working on several designs for different bread products and have been able to come up with nice designs but now we need to print to have a better idea what the package looks like.

My question is (finally) how do I come up with an exact scale of the packaging? I’m extremely confused at this point because I can’t seem to find a direct answer to my plight!

For exact packaging scale try reaching out to your printer they usually provide templates.if you have dimensions set up your design software accordingly. Don’t hesitate to ask fellow designers for tips.
Best of luck with your bread product designs!
