Packaging solutions
Create hyper-realistic 3D printed packaging solutions!
Create complex, transparent, high-fidelity 3D packaging models in a fully digital workflow while reducing time-to-market and design costs.
Speed up your packaging design!
Design, print, and validate prototypes for beverages, cosmetics, and beauty products in a simple digital workflow!
Streamline your entire 3D packaging design process and free up valuable resources, enabling multiple iterations, better design decisions, and faster time to market. Break free from lengthy, expensive design methods and create complex, high-transparency, full-color 3D packaging with 2D labels and graphics in a fully digital workflow. Print with Pantone-validated colors, simulate natural materials like glass, wood, and marble, and display razor-sharp text and graphics. Be bold without the time constraints of traditional prototyping.
The benefits of 3D printing in packaging

Frequently Asked Questions about 3D Printing
Additive manufacturing allows you to quickly prototype, test and refine packaging; shorter cycle times, lower costs, greater creative freedom.
PolyJet: color, high-resolution mockups for ergonomic, visual, consumer testing. P3 DLP: functional testing of closures/threads/structure with “injection molding-like” behavior.
3D printing helps teams iterate faster with less delay. The key benefits include:
- Visual realism for CMF – Color Material Finish reviews
- Functional testing for fit and usability
- Lower prototype costs and waste reduction
- Faster stakeholder consultation without having to wait for formatted templates
PolyJet – Ideal for aesthetic prototypes with vibrant colors, fine details, and smooth surface finishes
P3 DLP – Suitable for durable, functional testing parts that simulate injection molded performance
PolyJet photopolymers for rigid, flexible, transparent and colored models
Origin® P3™ DLP materials for engineering-grade mechanical parts that mimic molded plastics in stiffness, strength, and durability
Many mockups and functional parts can be printed within 24 hours, so packaging features, visual design, and user experience can be evaluated the same day.
3D printing offers a solution to the problems of long lead times, costly re-tooling, and delays in consumer testing. It enables faster CMF evaluation, better communication between teams, and more sustainable, flexible development processes.
