Design In-Context
You need to ensure that your product or packaging design stands head-and-shoulders above the competition. But how can you incorporate your competitive landscape (online or in-store) as you design? What is needed is a way to rapidly iterate, in real-time, with virtual prototypes in a range of competitive environments. The good news: You can with Foundry's products.
Rapidly Iterate
By designing using Foundry’s 2.5D and 3D tools, you are able to rapidly iterate on your creative design based on color, texture, graphics, and material. This allows you to see photo-realistic design variations, in real-time, and choose your final design, all without the need to produce unnecessary physical samples or prototypes.
Seamlessly Communicate
Communicating design intent requires pixel-perfect renders. With Foundry, the same photo-realistic renders you create in design can be sent to manufacturing, marketing, and sales. This means that you can seamlessly communicate your design directly to the manufacturer and the end-user.
Build Workflow Resilience
In today’s distributed workforce, you need the tools to collaborate from anywhere. Whether you’re in the boardroom or a local cafe, you need to work with the members of your team or other departments. With Foundry’s tools, you’ll be able to work with virtual twins of your product and packaging and seamlessly communicate your design intent, across the street or around the globe.
Enhance Sustainability Efforts
By designing with Foundry’s 2.5D and 3D tools, you not only make your design workflow more sustainable by eliminating unnecessary physical prototypes, but you dramatically reduce your design times (by up to 90%) and iterate on your designs in any real-world context imaginable.

Foundry’s tools help consumer packaged goods companies win in the fierce competition to gain market share. We provide the tools to dominate the store shelf and e-commerce sites.
-
Footwear
Digital Design Collective enables footwear brands to dramatically decrease CO2 equivalent emissions by using virtual samples to rapidly iterate on their designs without the need of most physical samples.
-
Accessories
Accessories brands now have the ability, using Foundry’s products, to create virtual prototypes and see how they will perform in any context imaginable, ensuring their designs are irresistible.
The difference is clear
When working on your design, you need more than just mathematical proportions. You need to see how your designs will look online and in real-world scenarios. With CAD software, you get a sense of the product’s dimensions and overall appearance:
- Is the cap proportional to the body?
- Is the overall structure of the packaging design as intended?
But look at what the 3D render tells you. Yes, it tells you everything the CAD render does, but it also informs you on:
- What will the design look like in likely marketing scenarios?
- How does the light play with the overall packaging design?
- How does light interact with the label design?
- Will this design be appealing in this scenario?
Rapidly iterating in-context with Foundry
Foundry’s powerful toolset means you can rapidly iterate on your designs in any context imaginable. In this way, you can see how your products or packaging will perform, even before it rolls off the production line.
