EngView to host DACH Webinar on Smarter Packaging Design and Production

Packaging manufacturers across Germany, Austria and Switzerland will have the opportunity to explore how parametric design and production optimization can help reduce waste, shorten packaging development processes and improve manufacturing efficiency during an upcoming EngView webinar on September 30 at 10:00 am CEST. 

The session, titled “From Design to Production – Intelligent Packaging Development for Maximum Efficiency,” will focus on practical ways packaging teams can move faster from structural concept to production-ready design. 
 
The webinar is designed specifically for packaging professionals in the DACH region and will be delivered entirely in German.

Packaging Development Under Growing Pressure 

Packaging producers are increasingly expected to deliver shorter lead times, greater flexibility and more sustainable production. 

For design and production teams, this often means creating more packaging projects in less time while keeping errors, material waste and production delays under control. 

The webinar will look at how modern packaging design tools can support this process by automating repetitive work, standardizing recurring projects and giving teams better visibility before a design reaches production. 

Participants will see practical examples and live demonstrations covering topics such as: 

• Speeding up packaging design by automating repetitive tasks 

• Creating correct structures with parametric components 

• Finding design problems earlier with 3D checks 

• Using less material through better design and production planning 

• Making teamwork easier for customers, designers and production teams 

From Parametric Design to 3D Verification 

One of the main topics will be the role of parametric packaging design. 

Instead of rebuilding a similar box or display for every new project, designers can work with adaptable structures whose dimensions and parameters can be changed while maintaining the underlying construction logic. For companies handling frequent size variations or repeat jobs, this can reduce manual work and help create more consistent workflows. 

The webinar will also explore how 3D verification can help packaging teams identify problems before production begins. 

A structural file may appear correct in 2D but still create issues when folded or assembled. Reviewing the package as a virtual 3D model can help teams spot potential problems earlier, reducing the risk of unnecessary prototypes, corrections and production rework. 

Material efficiency will be another part of the discussion. When the same optimization is repeated across many jobs, even relatively small reductions in board usage can contribute to lower production costs and less waste. 

Improving the Design-to-Production Workflow 

Efficiency also depends on communication. 

Packaging projects often involve several parties, including customers, structural designers, graphic designers, and production teams. Changes can move back and forth multiple times before a design is approved. 

A more connected digital workflow can make it easier to review designs, confirm changes and identify potential issues before manufacturing begins. 

Practical Experience Behind the Webinar 

The webinar will be presented by Christian Theiss, who has more than four years of experience supporting packaging companies with specialized software solutions. 

His work focuses on understanding customer challenges and helping businesses optimize their workflows. His expertise includes packaging design, training and customer support, giving the webinar a practical perspective based on real packaging projects. 

As packaging manufacturers continue looking for ways to improve speed, sustainability and production efficiency, the question is becoming less about individual design tools and more about how the entire workflow can be improved before production starts.
