In their own words
EngView Packaging Suite
EngView Packaging Suite is CAD/CAM software for structural packaging design and production, including boxes and POP/POS displays. Its workflow runs from concept and dieline creation through 3D visualization and production output. The design library contains over 2,500 ready-to-use packaging standards, including the full ECMA and FEFCO codes. Adobe Illustrator integration supports artwork application, 3D viewing, and production-ready file generation. The 3D Presenter creates visualizations with artwork and finishing effects and can output 3D PDF and web3D files. Layout Optimizer arranges designs on sheets to minimize waste and can nest multiple one-ups or artworks. The CAM module supports cutting plotters, lasers, and waterjets, with tool paths intended to minimize cutting time. An API allows the parametric design technology to be integrated into web-to-print platforms, packaging e-shops, and custom applications. The suite includes dieline editing and import, preflight checks, and cloud collaboration. Lite costs €760 a year, Standard €2,080 a year, and Professional €3,620 a year.
