In their own words
VPack
VPack is ERPA Systeme GmbH’s 3D CAD/CAM software for designing product packaging, displays, folding boxes and related packaging. It links flat 2D dielines with folded 3D views in real time. A library contains 1,300 patterns for solid and corrugated board, including FEFCO, ECMA and PHARMA standards. Semi-automated construction and company-specific parameters support customized designs. Importing a product’s 3D model can generate a matching insert cross-section. Analysis covers material consumption, waste, line lengths and other production information. VPack exports interactive 3D PDF and HTML presentations with folding animation. It connects with common high-performance cutters for prototypes and digital short runs, and ERPA says it integrates with VKalk and EDB servers and can provide data to merchandise systems and online shops. Windows 10/11, Mac and Linux are listed; ERPA recommends a premium OpenGL Quadro graphics card for 3D. Pricing requires contacting ERPA.
