Perfect Package
Design Winning Experiences
Improved Collaboration: Improved between internal stakeholders
and external agencies involved in the Package and Artwork development
process and decision-making
Develop Digital IP : Single version of truth, enable product derivative,
virtual design & visualization, component reuse, accelerate the pace of
package and artwork design review and approval
Cut packaging design time up to 50%. Process simplification
& standardization, streamlined workflows to minimize wait time and waste in
the development process, real time visibility into project status
Reduce packaging material and design costs between
30% to 50%. Detect and correct package errors in the development
process, avoid cost of real mockups, eliminate labeling errors to prevent
product recalls and reducing the product time to market.
Virtually eliminate packaging related recalls. Sustainable
Packaging design, material choice, and increase regulation by enabling
stakeholders in review and approval process

Challenges Unique to Consumer Goods Simulation
❑ Complexity of materials – far easier to model steel,
aluminum than paper
❑ High to extreme deformation – many problems at
the very edge of what can be achieved with
Lagrangian approach in FEA.
❑ Highly non linear contact.
❑ Complex physics, often requiring a first principles
approach.
❑ Unique automation and deployment challenges
