From gallery to first fold in five steps

PacFully is a packaging 3D-mockup and dieline design platform that runs entirely in your browser: parametric structures, real-time 3D, and print-oriented exports. This page is the whole product end to end; the rest of the guide goes deep on each step.

  1. 01

    Browse the gallery

    /mockups lists all 11 parametric templates — mailers, cartons, bottles, cans, pouches, tubes. Every card is a live model, not a stock photo. If you specifically need a press-ready dieline, /dielines shows only the 6 structures that generate one. Category filters and counts on both pages come straight from the template catalog.

  2. 02

    Open the editor

    Click any template to open it in the editor at /editor/<templateId>. Opening /editor directly loads the default mailer box. No account is needed to design — browsing, editing, and local saves all work signed out.

  3. 03

    Set exact dimensions

    Type width, height, and depth in millimetres — decimal precision — in the properties panel on the right. The 3D mesh and the 2D dieline regenerate from the same numbers in the same frame, so what you measure on screen is what folds.

  4. 04

    Place artwork on panels

    Upload images, or pick from built-in logos, prints, symbols, text, and patterns in the left panel. Every placement targets a specific panel — front, back, lid, body — with offset, scale, and rotation controls. Toggle safe-zone guides to keep critical art inside trim.

  5. 05

    Export, knowing the gates

    The export dialog labels every option with the plan it needs — PNG renders, dieline SVG/PDF/DXF, share links, embeds — before you click. Free exports carry a PacFully watermark; nothing hides behind footnotes.

Do you need an account?

Not to design. The galleries, the editor, local saves, and share links all work without signing in. A free account (email + password, no card) adds a workspace at /dashboard that lists the projects stored on your account and unlocks the account API — creating projects, uploading assets, and issuing developer API keys.

Plans in one line

Free, Lite, Pro, and Business differ mostly in which exports are unlocked and whether a watermark is applied. The full gate table is on the Exporting page and on /pricing.
