iC3D is a real-time, all-in-one 3D packaging design software that allows users to ideate, design, and visualize packaging on the fly. It supports multiple packaging types including cartons, labels, bottles, shrink wraps, and flexible bags.

iC3D supports AI, PDF, PSD, OBJ, Collada, and other standard file types. It integrates easily into existing workflows with PACKZ, CLOUDFLOW, Artflow and Adobe Illustrator

iC3D Ray Tracer provides ultra-high-quality rendering with reflections, shadows, and transparency for premium visual outputs.

Yes, iC3D is ideal for eCommerce. It creates high-quality 3D packshots and animations that accurately represent packaging from all angles, allowing brands to showcase products online without physical prototypes. These visuals enhance digital marketing, virtual shelf displays, and consumer engagement.

By enabling instant 3D mockups and eliminating the need for physical prototypes, iC3D helps reduce design iterations. When paired with CLOUDFLOW and Artflow, this speeds up decision-making, approvals, and hand-off to print production — drastically cutting time-to-market.

iC3D offers both subscription-based and perpetual licenses depending on your needs.

iC3D is purpose-built for packaging, combining real-time 3D visualization with packaging-specific tools like shrink distortion, dieline folding, and spot finish simulation. Unlike traditional 3D software, it requires no 3D modeling expertise and integrates directly with Illustrator and prepress workflows, making it faster and easier for packaging professionals to create accurate, print-ready mockups.

iC3D acts as the front-end visualization engine for packaging design and concept development. It complements Hybrid Software tools like CLOUDFLOW (workflow automation) and PACKZ (PDF editing) by providing fast, photorealistic 3D mockups that integrate into a unified prepress and production workflow.

Yes, iC3D allows real-time updates to artwork, structure, materials, and lighting. Changes made in PACKZ, Illustrator or within the software are instantly reflected in the 3D model, enabling rapid iteration and faster decision-making without re-rendering.

Yes, iC3D uses a patented Hybrid rendering engine that provides real-time, photorealistic visualization.

No. It’s a standalone application with all visualization tools built in.

Yes. iC3D integrates with CLOUDFLOW Proofscope for browser-based approval and can be automated as part of an end-to-end prepress and visualization workflow. In addition to CLOUDFLOW iC3D also works with PACKZ for production visualization.

Yes. It integrates with CLOUDFLOW for browser-based 3D approvals and 3D workflow automation for rendering multiple SKUs.

Yes, iC3D includes a Shrink & Shrink Correction tool that realistically simulates the distortion and warping effects of shrink sleeves. Additionally, Capture 3D can be added to increase accuracy of capturing the distortion grid information.

Yes. When paired with CLOUDFLOW and Artflow, iC3D-rendered mockups can be automatically routed through job ticketing, artwork approval, version control, and stakeholder feedback — reducing cycle times and increasing collaboration.

Yes, we offer 30‑day trial access to iC3D. No payment required—just complete the try-a-demo form and one of our sales team will reach out to schedule a one‑on‑one walkthrough tailored to your brand’s needs.

Yes, iC3D includes dynamic lighting, HDRi environments, and ray tracing (with iC3D Ray Tracer) for high-quality final renders.

Yes. iC3D lets you quickly generate 3D mockups for multiple SKUs by swapping artwork or product variants. When combined with CLOUDFLOW, you can automate the creation, versioning, and approval of these SKU variations, streamlining the review process across packaging lines or campaigns.

Yes, users can create custom shapes using built-in templates or import complex models.

Absolutely. Brand owners can start the ideation process with iC3D, manage artwork revisions and project tasks with Artflow, and flow assets into CLOUDFLOW for production, ensuring a seamless digital thread from concept to shelf.

iC3D supports cartons, labels, bottles, cans, shrink wraps, flexible packaging, POS/POP displays, and more.

Yes, iC3D can simulate foils, varnishes, embossing, metallic inks, and other special finishes with high realism. Using material settings and texture maps, you can preview effects like gloss, matte, holographic foil, and transparent elements directly in 3D. For photorealistic results, the iC3D Ray Tracer enhances reflections and lighting.

iC3D is built for packaging designers, brand owners, prepress professionals, and marketing teams who need fast, photorealistic visualizations of packaging.
