Druckwerkstatt is a Vienna-based printing company, founded in 2004. Over the years it has developed from a relatively small print shop into Vienna's biggest and most modern full-service print provider with three main business areas: Print, covering high-quality digital and offset print with a strong focus on short runs and tight deadlines; Packaging, spanning folding cartons, sleeves, inserts and custom corrugated packaging from prototyping to series production; and POS (Point of Sale), including displays, standees and signage. The company combines craftsmanship, innovation, and advanced technology to serve brand owners, agencies, and industrial clients across multiple sectors. 

Despite this success, their packaging process faced persistent inefficiencies, until they started using EngView Package & Display Designer. 

The Challenge: Manual Workflows and Costly Production Errors 

Before implementing EngView Suite, structural packaging design at Druckwerkstatt was a manual and time-consuming process. Each new design or adjustment meant hours of redrawing and checking, with constant risk of production errors. Key drawbacks included: 

• Every new design or adjustment required hours of manual redrawing and checking 

• No 3D visualization meant customers could not preview designs before production 

• Heavy reliance on physical samples to verify fit and function 

• Small mistakes only became visible after cutting, leading to wasted materials and repeated sample-making 

"The process was much more time-consuming and prone to errors. Without proper templates, every adjustment required significant manual work, and we had no reliable way to show customers what the final result would look like before production." — Andreas Haider, Technical Manager, Druckwerkstatt 

The Solution: EngView Packaging Suite 

EngView Packaging Suite transformed Druckwerkstatt's workflow with a professional, parametric design system and intuitive 3D visualization tools. The parametric library significantly reduced design time and enhanced consistency, while 3D previews and folding simulations improved professionalism and accelerated client approvals. Production-ready outputs ensured precise, error-free cutting and creasing. 

Why EngView made the difference: 

• Parametric design library: Speeds up design time and ensures consistency across all packaging formats 

• 3D folding simulation: Makes communication clear and builds client trust 

• Production-ready outputs: Reliable, error-free data for printing and cutting 

The Results: Hours Reduced to Minutes 

The transformation was noticeable almost immediately: 

• Projects that once required hours now take minutes 

• Reduced need for physical samples before client approval 

• Improved consistency across packaging formats 

• Stronger client communication through transparent, visual 3D previews 

"EngView confirmed that we are on the right technological path — building our print and packaging business on a solid, future-oriented foundation." — Andreas Haider, Technical Manager, Druckwerkstatt 

Druckwerkstatt's Favorite Features from EngView 

Key standout features for the Druckwerkstatt team include the 3D folding simulation, which allows customers to realistically visualize and evaluate packaging before any physical sample is produced, and the parametric design library, which ensures consistency and dramatically speeds up adjustments across different formats and projects. 

What Does Druckwerkstatt's Team Say? 

When asked whether they would recommend EngView to other print and packaging companies, the Druckwerkstatt team answered that EngView software has become a key part of their strategy for packaging design and production — a future-oriented foundation they would not want to build without.
