Testimonial
With Esko, I always know there will be full integration with other software. It is an example of why Esko is a trusted partner for Loacker. They really understand my job from my perspective, and are able to bring the solutions I need.
Andrea Canale, Graphic Arts Director, Loacker, Italy
For quite some time Loacker was keen to implement a complete packaging lifecycle management process, from the art layout onwards.
Up until four years ago, Loacker made its packaging renderings with Adobe® Photoshop® or outsourced them to multiple agencies.
Testimonial
The great thing about Studio is that it is entirely focused on packaging and the outputs are perfect, from a technical point of view as well as for marketing and other purposes.
Andrea Canale, Graphic Arts Director, Loacker, Italy
After Andrea Canale, Loacker’s Graphic Arts Director, tried Esko Studio in his spare time, he was convinced that this 3D packaging design software was the perfect solution for Loacker.
Studio is a unique set of tools for 3D packaging design made specifically for packaging artwork professionals. The software takes away the need for physical mock-ups.
Testimonial
Studio has brought huge efficiencies to our design process, improved the speed and quality of our renderings, and resulted in significant savings in time and money.
Andrea Canale, Graphic Arts Director, Loacker, Italy
Instead of going to six or seven different agencies to obtain packaging renderings, Loacker’s graphic designing team produces all of the packaging renderings in five minutes in Studio.
The highly realistic renders also serve retail and marketing purposes after approval. Previously, pack shots could only be completed once the packaging was completely finalized – at which point a professional photographer would be brought in. Studio removes the need for this.
Loacker noticed Studio’s benefits beyond the designing phase:
Automate. Connect. Accelerate.
