Building Packaging Expertise with the Right Technology 

Founded in 2001, M-Press is as a Bulgarian commercial printer that expanded into packaging production in 2020. Today, the company specializes in folding cartons, rigid packaging, and instruction manuals, with a strong focus on technically demanding packaging solutions. 

Its expertise includes complex box constructions, multi-component packaging, precision-fit inserts, and packaging designed for automated packing lines. These projects require accurate structural engineering, functionality, and careful production planning. 

As M-Press entered the packaging industry, the company recognized that professional structural design software would be essential to building its engineering capabilities and supporting long-term growth. 

The Challenge: Building a Professional Packaging Design Workflow from Day One 

Unlike manufacturers replacing manual processes or outdated CAD systems, M-Press was entering an entirely new business segment. The challenge was to establish a reliable packaging development workflow from the beginning. 

The company needed a solution that could support accurate technical drawings, physical prototypes, and increasingly complex packaging constructions while remaining accessible to new employees. 

It was equally important to communicate packaging concepts professionally, giving customers confidence in the proposed designs before production. Rather than introducing software after operational difficulties emerged, M-Press made EngView part of its packaging strategy from the outset. 

The Solution: Choosing a Scalable Solution for Long-Term Growth 

M-Press selected EngView Packaging Suite for its intuitive interface, comprehensive design capabilities, and flexibility to support the company's growing technical expertise. 

Another deciding factor was the personal approach and responsive communication of the EngView team, particularly Vladimir Dimitrov, who helped make the selection and implementation process straightforward. 

Drawing on previous CAD experience, Simeon Markov quickly became familiar with the software. More importantly, the company discovered that new employees could also learn the system efficiently. 

The user-friendly environment encouraged knowledge sharing between colleagues and made it possible to develop in-house packaging engineering expertise without extensive training. EngView became the foundation of a workflow that could evolve alongside M-Press's ambitions. 

The Results: Greater Accuracy, Faster Workflows, and 98% Cutting Success 

As M-Press expanded its packaging capabilities, EngView began delivering value across structural design, customer communication, sales, and production. 

98% Success Rate in Varnish Blanket Preparation and Cutting 

One of the company's most significant measurable achievements came from implementing EngView's Varnish Blanket solution. 

The solution automatically generates cutting files for varnishing blankets with built-in compensation, reducing manual preparation, and the risk of human error. Since implementation, M-Press has achieved a 98% success rate in preparing and cutting varnish blankets, eliminating material waste caused by errors during plotter cutting. This improvement has made the workflow more reliable while supporting greater production accuracy and cost efficiency. 

Faster Quotations and More Efficient Sales Processes 

The sales team can now use the software to prepare quotations and technical drawings more efficiently, significantly reducing the time required to respond to customers. This connection between sales and structural design helps streamline internal communication and supports a more responsive customer experience. 

Clearer Visualization and Smoother Customer Approvals 

EngView allows the team to communicate complex structures clearly, helping customers understand and evaluate packaging designs before production. The improved presentation process strengthens confidence in the proposed solutions and contributes to smoother design development and approvals. 

More Reliable Prepress Integration 

Following its investment in a Heidelberg Speedmaster XL press, M-Press introduced Prinect Production Manager into its workflow, using EVD files generated by EngView. This integration enabled a new print file approval process, providing customers with a more structured and convenient experience while improving internal control over file accuracy and consistency. 

The result is a more transparent connection between customer approval and production preparation. 

What M-Press values most about EngView 

As M-Press expanded from folding cartons into rigid box manufacturing, its use of EngView evolved from basic layout and one-up design to more advanced structural engineering. 

Master Canvas has become one of the team's most valued features, particularly for complex, multi-component rigid packaging. By providing a clear overview of individual components within a single project, Master Canvas makes it easier to understand how interconnected elements fit together, maintain control over the construction, and manage modifications. 

Combined with EngView's 3D design capabilities, it has helped M-Press transition smoothly into more sophisticated rigid packaging projects without changing its design platform.
