Structural design

You're using non-packaging specific CAD software

You're working with ArtiosCAD, the leading packaging CAD editor

Prepress editing

You're outsourcing prepress or doing it manually, using non-professional tools

You're using ArtPro+ or DeskPack plugins for Adobe® Illustrator®

You're running most prepress tasks automatically on Automation Engine. The editors are only used for exceptions

Collaboration

You're sending PDF files as attachments OR using basic non-professional tools (FTP, box.com, WeTransfer, ...)
