What Packdroid is
Packdroid generates packaging dielines from standards-based templates and lets users inspect them in 2D and 3D. Its catalogue lists 248 templates across FEFCO, ECMA, rigid-box, and bag families. Users can place artwork on a flat dieline and view it wrapped around the folded package in 3D. The editor exports production files as SVG, PDF, or DXF. A Developer API accepts a template code and dimensions, then returns a file in one of those formats for workflows such as web-to-print, ERP jobs, or quoting tools. New accounts start free and can inspect any template’s full 2D dieline; during the first five days, they can also download four branded cut files from DEMO templates. Bench includes 45 monthly downloads, Workshop 90, and Line unlimited downloads; Workshop and Line include 3D folding. Packdroid is listed for Android, iOS, web, and API. Before mass production, users are advised to verify dimensions, tolerances, tooling, and material behavior with their packaging manufacturer.
