Designs can be shared online with collaborators and customers, and then modifications can easily be made to the design based on their feedback. - **Manage design documents:** The software helps better document design elements such as measurements, material specifications, and the bill of materials. Having all of this data in one place results in better communication. Designers can save their designs for future reference and standardized elements can be called up whenever required.  - **Support brand identity:** The software allows designers to maintain a central repository of brand guidelines-based assets, thus making business logos, fonts, colors, and trademarks readily accessible to include in packaging designs.  * * * ## Typical features of packaging software - **3D imaging:** Represent package designs in a 3D environment. - **Asset library:** Create a repository that designers can use to upload and organize creative assets such as logos.   - **2D drawing:** Draw and model designs within 2D flat dimensions.  - **Approval workflow:** Route designs and documents through one or more stakeholders for review and approval.   - **Artwork management:** Streamline design processes and ensure brand accuracy so assets can be pushed live more quickly. - **Materials management:** Document use of hazardous materials and procedures related to their handling and disposal. * * * ## The cost of packaging software Most products in the market are priced on a “per user, per month” basis and can be divided into three pricing tiers based on their starting price. **Price ranges\*:** - $5 - $12 - $12 - $34 - $34+ _\*The pricing included is for the entry-level/lowest-priced offering found on vendor websites on September 17, 2021. These ranges correspond to the 25th, 75th, and 100th percentiles of pricing information gathered from vendor websites of sample products._ The above list summarizes pricing for the base plans of most products. An enterprise or premium product that is priced higher may include additional features such as fully rendered animations, document retention and control, interactive visualisations, shipping labels, and sales templates. * * * ## Considerations when purchasing packaging software - **Deployment options:** As you research packaging software, consider the pros and cons of deploying it via the cloud versus a private server. Typically, cloud deployment takes less time to implement and can have a lower cost than on-premise deployment. These products are available on a subscription basis, and in the long run, companies incur only operational expenses. This choice will also depend on your existing software infrastructure and whether it supports cloud deployment. - **Functionality:** When you start researching packaging software, identify why you want to use it. Is it to conceptualize a 2D or 3D design, use it as a presentation tool, or work with it as a rendering tool? The cost of the software varies depending on product features, so it's important to determine your needs early on.  * * * ## Relevant packaging software trends - **Intelligent packaging:** [Intelligent packaging](https://brands.esko.com/top-packaging-trends/) refers to the application of technology into product packaging. Packaging with near field communication (NFC) chips or QR codes can be scanned to provide more information about the product such as its price, expiration date, manufacturing date, and ingredients. They can also provide insight into your products as they move from the manufacturing site to the store, and eventually to the point of purchase. You can track how long your products are sitting on shelves before being bought, as well as how efficiently your operations are moving. * * * **Sources** Products evaluated for the pricing calculation were taken from Capterra’s [packaging software directory](https://www.capterra.com/packaging-software/).
