Thursday 23. July 2009 - EskoArtwork announces its participation to Luxe Pack 2009, the luxury Goods Packaging exhibition taking place from October 21-23 in Monaco.

At the show, EskoArtwork will demonstrate a range of dedicated integrated packaging design tools that enable brand owners and creative packaging professionals to streamline their entire packaging supply chain. At this edition, EskoArtwork will also present prestigious and innovative cases from branding and packaging design companies.
Product highlights demonstrated at Luxe Pack 2009 are:
Visualizer: this software creates and shares realistic digital mock-ups and soft proofs of complex packaging and label design with special print effects such as embossing, hotfoil, metallic inks and different substrates. Esko Visualizer shows how packages will look when handled and moved in a variety of lighting environments and backgrounds. Structural design information can be taken directly from ArtiosCAD or Studio Toolkit for Flexibles.
Studio & Studio toolkits: Studio is a plug-in for Adobe Illustrator that enables interactive 3D packaging design. Studio offers a 3D viewing environment where designers can see their artwork applied instantly on packaging. And, by creating a 3D PDF file from Studio, they can share their ideas with clients for review and approval. Studio reduces the need for time-consuming mock-ups and allows the designer to track errors faster, taking away the guesswork from 2D flats.
Apart from the Studio plug-in, EskoArtwork also presents Studio Toolkits which help designers to prepare packaging shapes themselves. Studio Toolkit for Flexibles is a stand-alone application to design flexible packaging shapes very fast. Studio Toolkit for Boxes is an Adobe Illustrator plug-in that generates a rectangular box, based on dimensions, or folds any keyline drawing into a 3D structure.
Dynamic Content for Adobe Illustrator : The EskoArtwork Dynamic Content plug-in establishes dynamic links between brand owners and their suppliers. XML is used to connect to the brand owners content management system. Dynamic Content gives designers full control over formatting and positioning of objects and enables the brand owner to edit and maintain text from outside Illustrator CS.
