Packly is a web platform for designing and printing packaging. It creates structural packaging designs, generates dieline templates and turns uploaded artwork into interactive 3D mockups, which can show finishes such as gold, silver or varnish. ShareLinks let people view a model on any device without receiving native files. The free Basic plan provides three dieline templates and three mockups per month; Light+ costs €37/mo, Pro+ costs €379/year and Custom starts at €699/year. Plans set monthly or annual allowances, and unused templates and mockups expire at the end of the subscription period. Printing is optional: a subscription is not required to buy printed packaging, and designs can be printed through Packly or elsewhere. Packly says it accepts custom box orders from 1 to 1 million pieces without a minimum order quantity. Studio Mode supports custom thickness from 0.2 to 1.8 mm and a 1200×1700 mm work area, but printing is unavailable in that mode. The company lists its headquarters and production facility in Campochiaro, Italy.
