Why AI for packaging design
Designing custom packaging usually means hiring a graphic designer or wrestling with Adobe Illustrator yourself. For an indie brand, an Etsy seller, or a marketing manager who just needs a clean first draft, neither is fast or affordable. Pack AI takes the brief, your dieline, and your assets, and outputs a ready-to-tune layout in under a minute — typography placed on each panel of the box, side-wall text already rotated, background color applied, logo dropped in.
The seven-step brief
You answer one or two questions per step. The whole brief takes about a minute:
- What's the product (blush, candle, coffee, …)
- Brand name + tagline
- Style — minimal, luxury, bold, playful, handmade, technical
- Background, primary, and accent colors
- Audience
- Size copy, ingredients, origin / "made in"
- Logo upload (optional — background is removed automatically)
Behind the scenes the brief plus the dieline's panel geometry go to a language model, which returns a structured layout spec. The browser turns that spec into editable text and image layers on the right panels.
What you get back, and what you control
The AI draft opens in the same editor you'd use to design from scratch. Every text layer is movable, rotatable, and editable line by line. Every panel's background color is overridable. Logo upload supports automatic background removal so it composites cleanly. You can resize images, change fonts per layer (60+ Google Fonts loaded on demand), and add shapes — rectangles or ellipses with stroke, solid fill, gradient fill, or image fill.
Export what your printer wants
When the design is ready, export as SVG (vector, self-contained), PDF at 300 DPI (the standard print delivery format), AI (opens in Adobe Illustrator), PNG, or JPEG. See the format guide for which one your manufacturer is expecting.
