Software Solutions for Designers

As a designer, you’re constantly balancing your creativity with finding efficiencies in your process. Creating the best product packaging requires you to make new design iterations and artwork quickly. The digital toolkit from Esko | Brand Solutions enables you to create 3D and CAD designs, find creative briefs in a central repository, gain approvals from stakeholders, and produce right-first-time packaging, artwork, and labels.

Challenges for Designers

Review & Approval Processes

Artwork review processes often involve multiple stakeholders, making approvals an arduous task for designers. Feedback collected through emails, PDFs, printouts, and conversations make it difficult to know the real status of designs.

Rework

Getting feedback across from multiple stakeholders is difficult. Last-minute changes may affect the entire design which could delay the print date and restart the approval process. If a physical mockup needs to be adjusted, designers have to rework their creations and/or even start over. Online electronic reviews make the process easier by allowing users to identify mistakes before going to production.

Manual Processes

Physical mockups are time-consuming and error prone. Guesswork makes it nearly impossible to produce right-first-time packaging. It’s time to eliminate physical mockups and produce innovative package designs with ease.

Solutions for Designers

Artwork Workflow Management

Shorten the review process by accessing feedback in one centralized location. 3D design tools enable designers to collect feedback from approvers more efficiently. Utilizing the right software is essential in catching mistakes and saving time and money.

Automated Packshots

With 3D capabilities, designers create high-quality online renders that can be sent to multiple stakeholders. Automated packshots enable you to design and create digital prototypes that turn into marketing campaigns and physical products faster than ever.
