The Pkg Advantage

No training is needed to use the power of Pkg to create complete engineering drawings with dimensions and title block data. It takes only a few seconds to choose from thousands of package styles and create a CAD drawing.

Selecting a package style is a simple matter of navigating through a graphical selection process from major to minor style groups. There are no arcane style names or cross-reference tables to look-up. You simply select more and more specific alternatives from each set of choices until you arrive at the exact package you want. You can then add this style to the Custom Library under any naming convention you wish to use. Pkg has a simple mix-and-match capability - opening a broad range of style combinations.

Pkg's Dynamic Standards represent the first and only set of comprehensive engineering standards in the world for paperboard packaging. These standards are published in plain English and are completely user modifiable. The Dynamic Standards allow even native users to create competent designs without user intervention. The standards provide a level of engineering expertise never before found in the packaging industry.

Pkg's unique engineering engine provides you with CAD Independence. With its own integrated CAD viewing and printing capability, Pkg allows you to use whatever CAD program you wish. Pkg will interface with any major CAD program in the market today. Pkg creates the complete drawing, dropping it into the CAD application. As the only registered AutoCAD developer with a packaging application, the makers of Pkg provide you with AutoCAD LT as a part of your Pkg software package. AutoCAD is the most widely used CAD software in the world, and training is available at virtually every college and community college in the country. But you don't need CAD knowledge to use Pkg! As CAD programs become less expensive and more powerful you can benefit from the advances without being locked into a specific product. AutoCAD LT is a fully compatible, Windows 95 and NT, 32-bit application.

Pkg runs in Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows NT 3.51 and Windows NT 4.0, providing you with the ease and functionality of the Windows interface to place your CAD drawing in the latest of graphics programs. Pkg ships with CorelDraw - the world's most popular PC-based graphics program - and you can use Pkg with any of the popular graphics programs.

Pkg integrates its design capabilities with the world leader in optimization and palletization software - TOPS Engineering. Design Axis can provide you with a complete solution to your package development needs - from product to package, case, pallet and truck.

The makers of Pkg are continually developing new solutions to fundamental packaging problems. Our latest enhancement to Pkg is the PkgData extension. PkgData is a Package Specification Database module that maintains a complete set of specifications while giving the user query, reporting, and CAD viewing and printing capabilities. At the core of PkgData is the same database engine that drives Microsoft Access. This is a Windows 95, 32-bit application.

Pkg's developers are packaging people - packaging engineers, designers and manufacturers. We understand the needs of the industry. We developed Pkg in a package manufacturing environment, and we hold a number of package design patents.

Pkg is widely used in all areas of the packaging industry. From diemakers to end-users - from manufacturers to distributors - from brokers to artists - Pkg is having a significant Impact on the way packaging is done. Pkg's Dynamic Standards are so powerful and Intelligent that in addition to its wide use by manufacturers, the end-users of packaging are discovering that they too can now access the wide range of package styles to create instant and accurate designs and specifications. Some of our corporate users include General Motors, Intel, IBM, Kodak, Xerox, Texaco, Compaq and FedEx to name a few.
