Prototyping & Structural Design
Battlefield Press offers custom packaging prototyping and structural design services to help bring your ideas from concept to production. We create 3D mockups with art, physical prototypes, dielines, and testing samples so you can evaluate fit, structure, materials, and presentation before moving forward. From folding cartons to specialty packaging projects, our team helps ensure your final piece is practical, polished, and production-ready.
Packaging Innovation & Prototyping
Bring your packaging ideas to life with custom packaging prototyping and structural design services from Battlefield Press. Our team creates practical, production-ready packaging solutions with support for 3D mockups with art, physical prototypes, dieline testing, and material evaluation. Whether you are developing a folding carton, retail package, display piece, or specialty print project, we help test structure, fit, function, and presentation before moving into full production.
With in-house prototyping capabilities, we can review how your packaging looks, folds, assembles, and performs in real life. From early concept development to final production planning, Battlefield Press helps ensure your packaging is built with purpose, accuracy, and impact.
Custom Packaging Prototyping, Built for Production
From folding cartons to specialty packaging, our prototyping and structural design capabilities are designed to help bring packaging ideas to life before they move into production. Using ArtiosCAD, we create custom dieline drawings that support both the look and function of the final piece.
Our process helps test structure, fit, assembly, and performance early, ensuring each package is practical, accurate, and production-ready.
What We Prototype
Every packaging project is different, so our prototyping process is tailored to each client, product, and structure.
We create prototypes for a range of packaging solutions, including:
- Blank Physical Prototypes
- Custom Folding Cartons
- Retail & Consumer Packaging
- Product Inserts & Dividers
- Specialty Packaging Structures
- Printed Physical Prototypes with Supplied Artwork
- 3D Mockups with Supplied Artwork
Using our precise Kongsberg cutting table, we produce physical prototypes to test form, function, and fit before anything moves to press or full production.
We can also create digital 3D mockups with supplied artwork placed directly onto the dieline to review artwork placement, panel alignment, typography size, pattern flow, and barcode positioning.
3D Mock Ups with Artwork
We can create 3D mockups using supplied artwork placed directly onto the dieline. This helps confirm that the design fits the structure and appears as intended once assembled.
This step is especially useful for reviewing typography size, artwork placement, pattern alignment, panel transitions, and barcode positioning. It helps ensure both the structure and design work together before production begins.
Designed for Form, Function & Fit
Packaging is not just about design and aesthetics. It also needs to work in real use. Our structural design process helps test how the package assembles, how the product loads, how the structure performs, and whether the design supports the intended function.
For packaging that requires inserts or internal supports, our team can help develop an efficient and cost-effective solution. We consider material use, assembly, product protection, and production efficiency to help create packaging that performs from every angle.
