Packaging is geometric
Packaging design is geometric in a way that posters and business cards are not. The print surface wraps around a 3D object. Dielines define cut and fold paths that the customer must respect or the package will not assemble.
The most common point of confusion in packaging web-to-print: the customer ignores the dieline overlay. They design across the fold lines, ignore the bleed, run text into the score, and the box arrives looking wrong.
3D wrap previews
PrintIntegrator's 3D preview wraps the customer's artwork onto a model of the actual product — folding carton, label cylinder, pouch, tube. The customer rotates, sees the design where it will land, and adjusts before they pay.
The 3D preview is not a separate render. It is the same engine that produces the print-ready PDF; what the customer sees is what the press will produce.
Substrate-aware pricing
Different substrates cost different per-unit and per-setup. White paper labels are cheap; metallic foil labels are not. The pricing engine accommodates this; the configurator surfaces it. Customers see the price change when they switch from gloss to metallic without needing to email you.
Roll-quantity logic
Labels print on rolls, and roll-based pricing is non-linear. PrintIntegrator's pricing calculator handles roll-quantity tiers: per-label rate at 1,000, at 10,000, at 100,000. Mixed roll lengths, multi-up imposition discounts, and per-roll setup all configure through the same calculator.
