Demand for sustainable packaging, especially food packaging, keeps growing all over India as well as around the world. At the same time, there is now a global movement to save food and eliminate, or at least decrease, food waste throughout the food supply chain from farm to fork (in our case, from post-harvest to thali).

Esko has given its 3D packaging design software Studio 16 a makeover with the launch of Esko Studio 16, a part of what it calls Esko Software Platform 16. Esko Studio’s tools allow 3D packaging with a virtual reality type of animated rendering on 2D screens. This kind of animated feedback allows the substitution of a variety of materials and decoration effects  to be able to see them in virtual store simulations in various placements and lighting conditions. Designers can virtually hold the pack in their hands.
