Color Confidence said it has seen ‘unprecedented demand and interest’ in FFEI’s RealVue 3D-Packager since it was appointed UK distributor.

RealVue 3D-Packager is a 3D visualisation tool for use in the design, communication and production of print and packaging designs.

Simon Prais, technical director of Color Confidence, said potential customers are impressed by the combination of ease of use, cost and feature set.

‘Feedback from brand-owners, design agencies and packaging printers has all been very positive, expressing how this solution addresses the challenges of creative packaging design for which to date there had not been any ideal solutions,’ he explained. ‘A key benefit is that RealVue 3D-Packager has a simple intuitive interface that integrates within your workflow providing a tool that can be used as required from design concept and presentation through to that of an accurate print-production verification tool and also a sales/support asset.

‘From our own experience, it took less than 30 minutes from the point of installing the software to visualise a package design – including constructing a die-line that would normally exist and creating the flat artwork.’

The software can be used early in the creative process by designers for carton packaging and POS display units, while also providing verified soft proofing for later print production stages.

The software’s features include:

* True simulation of reflections, emboss and other material and print effects

* Artwork and print finish effects can be applied to both sides of the material

* Support for curved surfaces

* Support for multi-component packaging

* Visualisation and construction of POS carton displays

* Definable time line for movie presentation

* Output in interactive 3D viewer format (and web browser) with ability to see folding sequences

* Notes for client sign off can be added to any surface of the design

A single license costs £3500 ex-VAT and site license options are available.
