Good packaging broadcasts an alluring brand message to potential buyers. Good packaging seduces and instructs. It’s the cornerstone of any decent marketing mix.

Designing packaging that generates sales is not easy. Esko’s software portfolio is built around packaging: our tools help you design inspiring custom packaging and test those designs in the market.

Packaging design in a dedicated CAD editor

Build packaging and displays from scratch or generate them with the click of your mouse. ArtiosCAD is the world’s most popular CAD software for bespoke packaging and displays design. ArtiosCAD is the ideal CAD editor for all corrugated, folding carton and POP, POS, FSDU display designers.

Packaging designers often think in 3D but must build a structural design on a 2-dimensional “drawing board”. Now designers can actually start creating custom packaging designs in 3D with ArtiosCAD.

Put graphics on your packaging in Illustrator

Why work in a flat world if packaging isn’t? Studio is a unique set of tools for 3D packaging design made specifically for packaging artwork professionals. Use real packaging design tools in Adobe Illustrator to work faster and unleash your creativity.

Packaging software should be much more than a design editor. Use Studio as internal QA tool: Check for panel misalignments, spot structural mistakes in time. Create the perfect back-match. Perform advanced shrink sleeve distortions and save hours of time performing shrink tests.

Test your bespoke packaging with virtual prototyping

Add the finishing touch to your custom packaging designs with Studio Visualizer. Its patented dynamic print visualization can show a wide range of substrates, printing and finishing effects in real-time.

Share your packaging designs as images or movies to win pitches or wow clients. Visualizer simulates the printing and finishing operations one by one, in the correct order, and on the right substrate. So what you see, doesn’t only look great, it’s also technically feasible.

See how well your custom design do in a virtual retail environment

Create a virtual shop with Store Visualizer. View and interact with your packaging and displays in a virtual retail environment. See your new designs on the shelf next to the competition; present a complete product launch in 3D, including retail-ready packaging, displays and other branded items. Test the visual impact of your latest product package design in the environment where it all happens: the store.
