The Challenge

Why Packaging Businesses Lose Orders Without an Online Configurator

Customers Can't Visualise the Final Package

Flat dieline PDFs confuse customers. They can't see how artwork wraps around edges, where folds land, or how the finished box looks. Misunderstandings lead to costly reprints, delayed shipments, and frustrated buyers who take their business elsewhere.

✓ 3D box preview — customers rotate and inspect the finished package before ordering

Every Quote Takes Days, Not Minutes

Customers email dimensions, quantities, and substrate preferences. Your team manually calculates pricing based on box style, paper weight, finishing, and quantity tiers. The quote goes back via email. By the time you respond, the customer has already found a faster supplier.

✓ Real-time pricing engine — price updates live as customers configure their packaging

Artwork Errors Cause Expensive Reprints

Customers upload artwork without understanding bleed, safe zones, or dieline positioning. Files arrive in wrong formats, wrong resolutions, or with artwork placed on the wrong panels. Your prepress team spends hours fixing files before production can start.

✓ Guided dieline editor — artwork validation, bleed markers, and panel guides built in

What You Get

Six Core Capabilities of the Web-to-Pack Solution

3D Packaging Preview

Real-time 3D rendering of the customer's packaging — artwork mapped onto the box structure with accurate fold lines, edges, and panel layout. Customers rotate 360°, zoom in, and inspect every face before placing an order.

Dieline Template Library

Pre-built dieline templates for FEFCO and ECMA standard box styles — folding cartons, mailers, tuck-end boxes, sleeve packaging, and more. Custom dielines can be uploaded for unique structures. Bleed, safe zones, and fold lines are built into every template.

In-Browser Packaging Designer

Customers design directly on the dieline — upload artwork, add text, choose colors, position logos on specific panels. Guided placement shows bleed markers, safe zones, and panel boundaries. Print-ready PDF output generated automatically.

Packaging-Specific Pricing Engine

Real-time pricing calculated by box style, custom dimensions, substrate (kraft, coated, corrugated), print method (offset, digital, flexo), quantity tiers, and finishing options (spot UV, foil stamping, embossing, lamination, window cutouts).

Artwork Validation & Preflight

Uploaded artwork is automatically checked for resolution, color mode (CMYK), bleed compliance, and safe zone adherence. Issues are flagged with visual annotations before the order is submitted — reducing prepress intervention by 90%.

Production-Ready Output

Every order generates print-ready files: dieline PDF with artwork, cut lines, and registration marks. Job data flows to Print MIS with dimensions, substrate, finishing instructions, and quantity — zero manual file preparation.
