Design corrugated and carton packaging, check the fold in 3D and prepare files for the next step in production. Create a free Start account — no credit card, no time limit.
Open your browser and start designing: with a mouse at your desk, or with a finger or stylus on a tablet at your customer’s site (tablet mode: two-finger gestures, larger buttons). Nothing to install, nothing to update — always the latest version.
Pick a box style and fit it to your product — the dieline recalculates automatically.
See the finished box and how it folds before a single sample is cut.
Hand the design off to your graphic designer, printer or die maker.
From structural design and production prep to the customer quote.
Change one number and the whole dieline recalculates from its formulas. Check folding and flap collisions in 3D before a sample is ever made.
Day to day: new sizes of the same box, your own parametric styles, ARD style import.
You get a clean dieline with the right line types — cut, crease, construction lines — ready for die making and printing.
Day to day: DXF and CF2 for the cutting die, layered PDF for the design studio.
Quickly prepare options for your customer: dimensions, board sheet size with trim allowance and a 3D preview for approval.
Day to day: a “Quote” bundle with drawing and 3D image, project archive.
For those comparing tools. Available formats depend on your plan — details below.
