PackLib, the resizable library of packaging and point-of-sale designs

PackLib, the library of packaging and point-of-purchase display designs give you acces to a large range of resizable templates.

PackLib provides you with FEFCO and ECMA standards, as well as other packaging and point-of-purchase display libraries— all in parametric models: the tool is productive from day one.

The drawings can be resized to your dimensions without having to redraw them. PackLib is a module of the Picador suite, just like the 2D and 3D modules, and it is also available as a standalone application and also via an on-premises web service.

A powerful, ready-to-use library

FEFCO Standards — corrugated cardboard
ECMA Standards — solid board
POS and in-store display libraries — displays and sales stands
Stackable boxes
Cross-bracing
Parametric resizing — the model adapts to your dimensions; cut and crease lines update automatically
Material thickness management — based on a defined value or a list of material profiles. Each parametric model adapts to the desired material.
Graphical navigation — find a model visually rather than by reference
Animated 3D visualization — verify folding and assembly before production
Imposition and nesting
Box packing and palletizing calculations

Designs can be exported in DXF, CF2, DES, PDF, and Ai formats and can also feed directly into cutting table.

Create Your Own Parametric Models

The second feature of PackLib: building your company library. What your teams have already designed becomes a reusable asset, rather than having to be redrawn for every new request.

Convert an existing drawing into a parametric model
Design new parametric models directly in Picador to enrich your library
Build a professional library specific to your company, in addition to the included standards
Share across teams and sites
Related calculations—thread length, cut area, nesting by format or machine, scrap rate

This feature is designed for companies that have their own recurring models and a design office to formalize them. Each parametric model pays for itself through all its future reuses.

Who is PackLib for?

Depending on your situation, one or the other aspect will take precedence:

Printers and converters — having a reliable set of starting points without a dedicated design department
Design agencies and POS studios — exploring variations based on proven templates
Cardboard manufacturers and converters — respond quickly by starting with a standard design, then formalize their own recurring templates
Brands and manufacturers with multiple sites — standardize packaging across sites and suppliers

PackLib in the Picador suite

The Picador suite covers the entire packaging design process, with each module handling a specific step:

Picador 2D and 3D — structural design and virtual prototyping
PackLib — the library of templates, delivered and continuously updated
StackBuilder — case packing and palletizing optimization

Use Cases

Redesign — starting from a standard to address a new constraint
Eco-design — comparing variants and deciding on the material to use
Digital manufacturing — feeding data directly to cutting stations
Sales presentation — presenting a catalog of solutions to a client
Client/supplier communication — sharing an interactive 3D model rather than a drawing
