FinalPack vs iC3D Suite

FinalPack is an online tool for calculating box dielines and preparing packaging files for prepress and printing. It derives blank dimensions from a box's internal length, width, and height, its structure, and board thickness or grammage. Documented structures include pharma tuck-end, RSC, fast-food, six-corner, sleeve, and standard glue-flap boxes. A 3D preview shows open and closed forms before export. Production handoff can use separate vector layers for cutting, creasing, and perforation, with PDF and SVG output described for production workflows. The layers are intended for Illustrator, CorelDRAW, and lithography workflows. Prepress guidance covers CMYK, overprint, bleed, image resolution, and technical cut and crease layers. Die-maker guidance describes millimetre-based DXF/SVG for CNC, AutoCAD, Kongsberg, and laser cutters. The free Starter plan allows five basic models monthly and interactive 3D preview, but excludes PDF/DXF export and industrial rendering. Silver and Professional plans have listed amounts in toman; Enterprise includes printing-house CRM, MIS/ERP integration, a custom API, and on-site deployment, with no price listed.

iC3D Suite is a real-time packaging design application for creating live 3D virtual mockups. Smart Mesh lets users position labels and artwork on models without UVW texture-coordinate mapping, while Shape Modeller creates asymmetric forms such as perfume bottles, trigger sprays, and molded containers. Shrink and Shrink Correction visualize the distortion of artwork or labels on 3D models. Ray Tracing simulates lighting for high-resolution effects, and Light Map Editor recreates editable studio lighting. The cloud-based iC3D opsis viewer and storage supports collaboration, email sharing, and animated movies; its listed viewer limit is 25 models. Artwork links work in both directions with Adobe Illustrator and Hybrid PACKZ. The software imports formats including Collada, OBJ, STL, PDF, DXF, and CF2, and exports 3D, production-workflow, and image files. It runs on macOS 12 or later and Windows 10 or later, with specified processor, GPU memory, and RAM requirements. Pricing is on request, and a free trial is listed.
