Prinect Package Designer makes it very simple to draft folding cartons and displays and create the corresponding sheet layouts, e.g. for die cutting tools. The functionality ranges from structural design through sample production, sheet layout and die cutting parameterization to the generation of presetting data for postpress. The 3D display and animated folding sequences make it much easier to coordinate with customers and graphic designers. And it can help to set up the folder-gluer faster and more accurately.
Its scope of delivery includes an extensive library with reusable folding carton types, displays and packaging components, including the complete ECMA and FEFCO catalogs.
Prinect Package Designer can be integrated into the complete Prinect workflow. This allows the automatic creation of designs and sheet layouts for standard drafts taken from the library. Also, data coming from the CAD system can be used to generate time- and material-saving presettings for postpress.
With Illustrator Connect, a Package Designer plug-in for Adobe Illustrator®, CAD data including 3D display can be used to support the graphic design. The graphic designer can directly check whether the positioning of all box sides is correct. The positioning of objects spread over several pages is processed by our software automatism which takes care that the image touch point always fits precisely.
The option Synergy provides the basis for efficient designing and editing of parametric components. Libraries with individual, resizable folding cartons, displays and components can be created.
The option Diemaker enables the drawing of die cutting forms with bridges, cut-off and compensating knives. The die cut information can be forwarded to the die cut tool maker or can be used for the control of machine tools.
