Your pack in 3D from its sizes.
Cans, bottles, jars, tubs, tubes, cartons, pouches, crisp packets and sachets, in real materials with your artwork, ready for ParametrIQ CAD.
See the pack before it's made
Choose the kind of pack, type its sizes and pick its materials: the Pack Designer builds it in 3D as you go and shows it in ParametrIQ's 3D view, lit and shadowed on a plinth. Add your artwork and see it wrapped round the can or printed on the pouch, then export the model for your carton, your tray or your shelf.
The packs it makes
Cans and tubes
A beverage can with its necked top, seamed lid and tab; a squeeze tube round at the cap and flattening to its crimped seal.
Bottles and jars
Body, shoulder, neck and a ribbed cap or lug lid, with a wrap-around label where you want it.
Tubs
Tapered, with a rim and a push-on lid or a flat sealed lid, printed round the side and on top.
Cartons
A folding carton from its width, depth and height, its four sides printed as one strip and its top.
Pouches, crisp packets, sachets
Filled film packs: a stand-up pouch on its gusset, a pillow bag crimped at both ends, a sachet sealed all round.
Real materials, your artwork, PiQ's formats
ParametrIQ's materials
Aluminium, tinplate, flint, amber and green glass, PET, HDPE, polypropylene, label papers, metallised and foil films, kraft: the same appearances as ParametrIQ CAD's 3D page.
Your artwork on it
Wraps, labels, lid tops, carton sides and pouch faces, each with a template at the exact size it's printed at. Use pictures, Photoshop documents, or vector artwork from Illustrator, PDF, EPS or SVG, kept sharp at any size, and send artwork to Photoshop and back.
Shrink sleeves, pre-distorted
Draw the sleeve as it should look on the bottle and get the print that shrinks into it, with a distortion grid and a check that the film can do it.
New from Product
Start from what you're packing - six bottles of wine, twelve cans - and get one finished drawing: the case, the fitment that holds the products apart and any divider pad, sized, costed and ranked, folded in 3D with a product in every cell. The Pack Designer's Pack These… hands its pack straight to it.
Live 3D preview
ParametrIQ's own 3D view shows the pack as you change it: glass you can see through, metal that shines, film that crinkles at the seals.
Exports for ParametrIQ CAD
glTF, OBJ, STL, COLLADA, USDZ, PRC and U3D: place the pack as the product in your carton or insert and check it fits, or put it on a shelf.
