Description

A brief explanation of the service, who it's for, and what it solves.

The Pain Point: Why Packaging in 2D Costs Sales

  • Flat mockups don’t show depth, folds, or cover alignment
  • Customers struggle to judge size and proportions
  • B2B buyers hesitate on large orders due to lack of visualization
  • SMEs lose orders worth hundreds to thousands because packaging can’t be previewed realistically

According to a study by Packhelp, 72% of consumers say packaging design influences their purchasing decision (Packhelp, 2024).
