Category narrative

Retail and brand teams use our print and packaging workspace to visualise dielines, special finishes, and structural concepts in true-to-life 3D. Upload product specs, sustainability goals, and merchandising guidelines to develop folding cartons, mailers, sleeves, and supporting collateral side by side. Iterate with marketing, procurement, and compliance without bouncing files across agencies.

Experiment with metallic foils, embossing, soft-touch coatings, and recycled substrates while tracking cost deltas in real time. Approvals capture legal copy, multilingual requirements, and palette restrictions so nothing is missed before prepress. When campaigns update SKU counts or destinations, duplicate approved structures, change artwork, and regenerate production-ready files instantly.

Manufacturing dashboards coordinate supplier proofs, colour approvals, and freight so product launches align with retail windows. Sustainability metrics document recycled content, FSC certifications, and carbon footprint reductions for stakeholders. With designs archived by collection, refreshing seasonal packaging or piloting limited drops becomes an agile, data-informed process.

Teams ask us about

• How fast can we launch custom packaging with the AI Printpack Studio? Most print-ready dielines move from prompt to courier pickup in 7-12 production days because the AI print configurator exports press-ready PDFs, varnish layers, and structural previews at the same time. You can switch between rigid boxes, shippers, sleeves, and merch cards, approve photoreal 3D renders inside the browser, and push files straight into our carbon-neutral print network. If you have a retail activation or drop-dead ship date, flag the project as priority and we fast-track proofing, colour calibration, and finishing windows.
• What sustainability options do you offer for custom print and packaging? Every Printpack project can be produced on FSC(R)-certified or recycled substrates, soy- or algae-based inks, and waterless coatings so you can publish a sustainability score alongside the design assets. We surface the carbon impact difference between stock choices in real time, and your dashboard stores chain-of-custody certificates for enterprise reporting. Need compostable void fill or reusable transit bags? Select the eco add-ons and they ship in the same carton with QR-coded recycling instructions.
• Can I upload artwork or prompt new designs with AI? Upload layered Illustrator files, PDF dielines, or even product photography and the configurator automatically aligns bleed, glue flaps, and emboss zones. Prefer to start from scratch? Type a creative brief and the AI generates on-brand concepts, colourways, and typography that you can iterate on in minutes with version control. The system flags low-resolution assets before print so you never discover pixelation on a finished run.
