Options

Configure dieline costs, sample and mockup settings, and product option bindings for Print CAD standards.

The Options tab manages cost settings, sample/mockup configuration, and the auto-bleed behavior for a parametric standard. These settings control the pricing adjustments and production options available for the standard.

Access Options

Open any standard from the Custom Libraries list.
Select the Options tab in the edit form.

Fields

The form is arranged in a two-column layout.

Field	Description
Die Line Costs	Cost associated with producing the physical die for this standard. This amount is factored into the product pricing as a fixed cost component.
Sample Cost	Price charged for a sample order of this standard. Samples allow customers to evaluate the packaging before committing to a full production run.
Sample Max Quantity	Maximum number of units a customer can order as a sample. Limits sample orders to keep costs manageable.
Sample Enabled	Checkbox that controls whether sample ordering is available for this standard on the storefront.
Mockup Cost	Price charged for a mockup (unprinted structural sample). Mockups let customers evaluate the physical form factor without print decoration.
Mockup Max Qty	Maximum number of mockup units a customer can order.
Mockup Enabled	Checkbox that controls whether mockup ordering is available for this standard on the storefront.
Disable Auto Bleed	When checked, disables the automatic bleed area calculation for this standard. Use this when the dieline already accounts for bleed in its geometry or when bleed is not applicable.

Associations

Print Store

Area	Effect
Product pricing	Die Line Costs are included in the pricing calculation as a fixed component. The storefront calculator adds this amount to the base material and quantity pricing.
Sample ordering	When Sample Enabled is checked, the storefront product page offers a sample option. The `ArdenHelper` reads the parametric type from `Product.Arden.Variables` metadata to determine if the order is a sample, mockup, dieline-only, or normal production run. Sample orders use the configured Sample Cost and respect the max quantity limit.
Mockup ordering	When Mockup Enabled is checked, customers can order unprinted structural samples. The parametric type is set to "mockup" and the order uses the Mockup Cost and max quantity settings.
Auto bleed	The Disable Auto Bleed flag is stored in the `ParametricConfiguration.DisableAutoPadding` column. When active, the parametric system skips automatic bleed area calculation during dieline generation.

Enterprise API

Area	Effect
Order type	The v2 API includes the parametric type on order items — `normal`, `mockup`, `sample`, or `dieline`. External fulfillment systems use this to route orders to the appropriate production workflow.

Standard Information — Set display name, units, and markup values that affect pricing
Standard Sizes — Offer preset size options alongside sample and mockup ordering
Dieline Colors — Configure the line type colors used when auto bleed is active
