From September 10 to 12, over 800 exhibitors from around the world will present the latest advancements in printing technology in Las Vegas. The attendees of Printing United will have the unique opportunity to explore state-of-the-art equipment, innovative solutions, and groundbreaking techniques that are shaping the future of the printing and packaging industries.

EngView team will be at Printing United and invites all attendees to visit EngView booth #C126 to experience the latest version of its flagship software: EngView Package & Display Designer. It provides a wide range of tools that speed up and automate the day-to-day jobs of structural and graphic designers, diemakers and salespeople. The software functionalities cover the entire process of 2D drafting, 3D modelling, real-time graphics visualization and preparation for optimal production.

EngView offers a complete end-to-end solution for packaging and display production that works on both Mac and PC. Designers have access to a comprehensive library of over 2500 resizable boxes and displays for carton, corrugated board and other sheet materials. The software is integrated with Adobe® Illustrator® to deliver pixel-perfect graphics and optimizes the production files that feed the printing and packaging machines. 

Bringing innovation with every new version, the EngView software helps packaging and display producers optimize their workflow and increase profitability.

This new release introduces seamless integration with Hybrid’s PACKZ prepress software, the industry’s leading PDF editor for packaging and labels. This powerful combination promises to expand automation capabilities and boost productivity for the folding carton industry, offering a seamless workflow from design to prepress.

Hybrid-EngView integration to boost productivity for the folding carton industry

The newly released EngView Package & Display Designer Suite 2024 features an advanced integration with Hybrid’s PackZ software, marking a significant leap forward in the automation and efficiency of packaging design and prepress processes. This collaboration between EngView and Hybrid has been in the works for several months, with both teams dedicated to enhancing the user experience for professionals working with folding carton and corrugated packaging.

The design process begins with EngView Package & Display Designer, where users can select from an extensive library of ready-to-use parametric designs or create custom boxes from scratch. EngView’s advanced CAD software allows for precise modifications and resizing, providing users with unparalleled flexibility and control.

With the new integration, users of both EngView and Hybrid software benefit from an automated, continuous workflow that connects the entire design and prepress process. Projects created in EngView can be easily shared in a designated cloud space accessible to the entire team. Hybrid’s PACKZ users can then access these projects directly from the EngView cloud, opening dielines and layouts into their prepress workflow to add graphics and finalize files for printing.

New Features in EngView Shared Space

EngView’s commitment to innovation extends beyond integration with Hybrid’s software. The 2024 release also introduces powerful new features within EngView Shared Space, designed to streamline the customer approval process and enhance collaboration.

Designers can share live 3D models of the final structure with clients and team members, complete with graphics, finishing effects, and folding sequence animations. These models can be exported as videos, offering a versatile tool for presenting and sharing designs.

One of the most exciting features is the incorporation of Augmented Reality (AR). This functionality allows customers to visualize their packaging or display in a real-world environment before production begins. By using the camera on their smartphone or tablet, customers can place the 3D model of their packaging or display directly in the store or on the shelf where it will eventually be displayed. This immersive experience provides the most realistic preview possible, enabling customers to make informed decisions and confidently approve designs.

In addition, each design uploaded to EngView Shared Space now automatically generates a QR code, making it easier than ever to access and interact with designs on mobile devices. This feature simplifies the process of reviewing and approving designs, enhancing the overall flexibility and convenience of the platform.
