Packaging design, without the licence fees.
CannaZip needed a user-friendly tool for clients to create compliant, print-ready packaging designs. The tool had to offer a 3D preview, allow extensive customisation, and generate files ready for print production, all while preserving IP ownership and eliminating recurring licensing fees from third-party solutions.
Production
Designs must be print-ready
3D
Live 3D preview required
Owned IP
Third-party licensing was costly
Usability
Tool had to be intuitive
A live 3D design builder with print-ready file generation.
We built a web-based 3D design tool where users select pouch types and materials, customise with text, images, and shapes, and apply effects to match branding. A live 3D preview provides an accurate model, and finalised designs are saved as print-ready, industry-compliant files. The interface offers zoom controls, drag-and-drop, and layer management, and the WordPress backend handles real-time 3D rendering and print-ready file generation in SVG and PDF.
From environment to a live tool: scope, build, ship.
