Packaging design made easier

Impact CAD software has been created in order to make life easier for packaging designers.
It has been developed based on our real world experience of packaging design and feedback from our customers.

Impact gives you every tool you need in one integrated package, with a library of existing designs and an easily adaptable interface

The existing design library on Impact for designers

Comprehensive library of designs

Starting from scratch on a project is time consuming and often unnecessary. You’ll be able to access a library of existing designs that are easily customisable to your current project.

The designs available cover every industry standard and take into account the materials you will be working with from corrugated to card. You no longer need to recreate common parts and can instead concentrate on developing something unique.

Parametrically driven, if one element of your design changes the system understands the need to change other elements.

Intelligent tools

Typical CAD software doesn’t take into account the challenges of designing for packaging. In the real world materials act in different ways.

Our intelligent tools simplify the process. Say goodbye to unresponsive geometry and welcome lines that react automatically to your needs.

Easy visualisation

When you’re looking to get approval for your designs, it’s so much easier when your customer is able to understand the reality of the packaging.

Impact is great for soft proofing, allowing you to create virtual 3D samples and animated prototypes that can be shared with the customer, who can then see exactly how everything fits together.

Of course, you can also create 2D designs and physical prototyping is straightforward with software that’s fully compatible with your plotters.
