Web-to-Pack for Corrugated Boards
Turn corrugated packaging into a design masterpiece with packQ — folding cartons, adhesive closures, slip lid cartons, and more, configured from proven FEFCO models and previewed in interactive 3D.
packQ lets your customers design custom corrugated board packaging online — folding cartons, adhesive closures, slip lid cartons, and much more — configured from proven models and previewed in interactive 3D. Customers build the box to their exact product, see it in three dimensions, and order with confidence that what they approve is what production makes.
Corrugated packaging has to protect a product, ship efficiently, and look the part, and traditionally that means slow, CAD-driven design work. packQ turns it into an online design process that is both precise and creative, so customers get structurally sound boxes without sacrificing the finish that makes packaging a design masterpiece.
A full catalog of corrugated structures
packQ starts customers from the industry-standard FEFCO catalog rather than a blank die-line. Its library includes around 290 parametrized corrugated models — folding cartons, adhesive closures, slip lid cartons, and many more box styles — each fully adjustable to a customer's exact dimensions and requirements. Live, real-time pricing follows every change directly in the browser.
This breadth is what lets one platform serve very different corrugated needs. Whether a customer needs a simple shipping carton or a structured retail box with a specific closure, they configure against a proven FEFCO model, so the box is sound to fold and build before any artwork is added — no structural guesswork, no engineering bottleneck.
Use cases: where custom corrugated earns its place
Corrugated board does the heavy lifting across commerce, and packQ supports the full range of it:
- E-commerce and shipping boxes: online sellers configure right-sized shipping cartons that protect the product and cut wasted volume, ordered on demand rather than held as generic stock.
- Retail-ready packaging: brands design shelf-ready corrugated boxes with closures and finishing that look considered in-store, not just in transit.
- Product and subscription boxes: DTC brands create branded corrugated packaging for a memorable unboxing, tailored to the product and reordered as they grow.
- Transport and secondary packaging: manufacturers configure sturdy outer cases and trays sized precisely to their goods.
- Small and mid-size runs: businesses that were never profitable to serve with manual CAD get custom corrugated economically, because the design and data are automated.
What ties these together is the same demand: a structurally correct corrugated box, tailored to the product, produced without the cost and delay of traditional bespoke packaging.
Make it a design masterpiece — and see it in 3D
The interactive 3D preview is what turns a corrugated box into a design masterpiece with confidence — customers see the exact box, from every angle, before they order. packQ renders an accurate 2D and 3D view live in any browser with no plugins, so customers can judge how graphics wrap across panels and flaps and how the assembled box actually looks. Interactive vectorization and embellishment let them refine artwork and finishing with precision, so the design ambition is matched by production quality.
This visual certainty is what prevents costly mistakes. Corrugated is a structural, folded product, and errors are hard to spot on a flat proof — a graphic that breaks across a fold, a panel that reads wrong once assembled. Seeing the real box in 3D catches those issues while they're still easy to fix.
Precise structure, guaranteed to production
packQ processes corrugated data down to the finest detail — from fold-line definition to price calculation — and guarantees the produced box matches the version approved online. When a customer submits, the Dynamic Preflight Check validates the file automatically, catching resolution, format, and data issues before production, and approved jobs pass straight into the production workflow through a headless architecture that connects to nearly any ERP or MIS. Because the structural data is exact and the approved design is locked to what production receives, the corrugated box that ships is the one the customer signed off — no drift, no surprises.
Built to scale and integrate
packQ is modular, expandable, and enormously scalable — from a single source. Its headless architecture integrates with nearly any e-commerce system, ERP, or MIS, so corrugated ordering fits into your existing production landscape rather than replacing it. The technology is award-winning — packQ has earned both the EDP Award and the InterTech™ Technology Award — and it scales from small custom runs to high-volume corrugated production.
