This is the core step where you map the old design to the new shape.
In the packaging industry, creating visually appealing and accurate designs for shrink sleeves and repackaging can be a challenge. Esko, a leading provider of software solutions for the packaging industry, offers two powerful tools to help designers and manufacturers overcome these challenges: Esko Studio 10 and Visualizer Studio Toolkit.
Models can be placed in a virtual store via Store Visualizer to check shelf-impact against competitors before a single sleeve is printed. 3. Strategic Benefits for Repacking
The design process for shrink sleeves and multi-pack repacks typically follows a three-step structure: : This is the core step where you map
Esko Studio 10 is a comprehensive design and pre-production software solution for packaging professionals. It allows users to create, edit, and manipulate 2D and 3D designs for various packaging formats, including shrink sleeves, labels, and repackaging.
Before creating a sleeve, you need an accurate 3D model of the container being repacked.
: The software allows designers to import a 3D CAD file of a bottle or complex multi-pack (repack) and simulate the actual shrinking process. It calculates how the sleeve will conform to asymmetrical shapes, which is vital for repacking disparate items into a single promotional unit. Artwork Pre-distortion : One of its most powerful features is the ability to pre-distort Models can be placed in a virtual store
The heart of Esko's solution lies in the . Esko recognized that physically simulating shrinkage is obsolete. Instead, the toolkit inverts the workflow: rather than guessing how the design will look after shrinking, the software uses mathematical algorithms to physically simulate the shrinking process inside a 3D environment, automatically applying a "counter-distortion" to your artwork to ensure that when the physical film shrinks, the design looks perfectly correct.
Keep text and critical design elements at least 4-5mm away from the vertical seam area.
Visualizer allows designers to apply specific substrate characteristics to the sleeve: It allows users to create, edit, and manipulate
By leveraging the physics-based simulation of alongside the advanced substrate and finish modeling of Studio Visualizer , packaging professionals can accurately pre-distort artwork, mimic virtual heat-shrink tunnels, and render photorealistic digital twins before committing to physical production.
