FinalPack vs Packly

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.

Packly is a web platform for structural packaging design, dieline creation, 3D mockups, and printing. Users can upload artwork for an interactive model that displays finishes such as gold, silver, or varnishes. ShareLinks let others view a packaging model through a link without receiving native files. Studio Mode supports custom thickness from 0.2 to 1.8 mm and a 1200×1700 mm work area, though printing is unavailable in that mode. Plans set monthly or annual allowances for dieline templates and 3D mockups, and unused allowances expire when a subscription period ends. The Basic plan is free and includes three templates and three mockups per month. Light+ costs €37 /month; Pro+ costs €379 /year; Custom starts from €699 /year. A subscription is not required to purchase printed packaging, and Packly says designs can be printed with it or elsewhere. Custom box orders range from 1 to 1 million pieces, with no minimum quantity. Packly also describes APIs for integrating its generators into external applications.
