What it does
Packdroid generates flat packaging templates for cutting and folding, called dielines, from adjustable templates for corrugated boxes, folding cartons, rigid boxes and bags. Artwork maps onto the same structure used for the 3D fold preview. Free accounts can inspect flat layouts; folded previews require Workshop or Line.
Select a corrugated-box (FEFCO), folding-carton (ECMA), rigid-box or bag template, then enter its required dimensions and material thickness. Packdroid validates those inputs and rebuilds the flat dieline. The folded view uses the same structure, so artwork placed on the flat layout can be inspected around the assembled package.
| Plan | Dieline downloads | Folded preview |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Four branded demo files during the first five days; continuing 2D inspection | Not included |
| Bench | 45 files per month in SVG, PDF or DXF | Not included |
| Workshop | 90 files per month | Included |
| Line | Unlimited files | Included |
The lasting free workspace is for inspecting 2D layouts; its initial demo-download allowance is temporary. Workshop and Line are the relevant plans for 3D review. Packdroid does not provide downloadable 3D models.
Accounts require email verification and are licensed to one person. Generated dielines can be used for commercial manufacturing and client work without attribution, while Packdroid's template library and engine remain proprietary. The generated structure is a production starting point: the supplier still needs to confirm tolerances and how the chosen material behaves.
