Participating for the first time at PrintPack India, UK-based Arden Software will showcase its workflow and design tools during the five-day trade show. Arden Software develops integrated solutions for packaging design and manufacturing process, from the first sketch to final delivery. The company recently set up its office in Ghaziabad, India. This latest office launch marks its fifth international headquarters, alongside other offices in the UK, Germany, North America and Denmark. The new India office is being led by Manish Bhaskar, who took on the role of business head – Asia, after working in the print and packaging industry for more than 20 years.

At PrintPack, Arden Software plans to highlight Impact CAD, their primary product, used in designing and visualization of paper-based carton, corrugated boxes and display solutions. Impact’s automatic layout feature is capable of simultaneously calculating multiple interlocking patterns to ensure maximum on-press efficiency and reduce waste. Additionally, it keeps track of material type and flute/grain direction to ensure correct orientation in packaging design. Its advanced 3D modeling feature helps to experiment and imagine the various structural models. Apart from designers, Impact enjoys high demand from die-makers too, due to the creative mix of automation and manual control.

In addition to the above solutions, Arden plans to soon introduce tools WEBcnx and cloud-based Impact Enterprise. Impact Enterprise helps to connect the multiple facilities to a centralized database and workflow automation tool while WEBcnx enables communication among all stakeholders in the packaging supply chain, thus allowing real-time collaboration, better control and flexibility in the projects.
