The family-owned Leicester-based business said it has created the Zip Core Packaging Suite “to optimise every aspect of packaging design from start to finish”.

Sales and product manager Lewis Evans said: “Our software will provide businesses with a wide range of tools that speed up and automate the everyday jobs of packaging designers, graphic designers and salespeople involved in the creation and production of packaging.

“This will result in jobs being produced at a much faster rate. There are endless packaging templates to choose from within our library of designs, giving the customer the opportunity to create an infinite choice of projects with absolute simplicity.”

He added: “There are two bundles to choose from: Zip Core Design and Zip Core Design Pro. Compatible with both desktop and cloud solutions and integrated with Adobe Illustrator. Meaning you can apply graphics to your packaging designs whilst being able to view a 3D model of the structure before production. Saving you both time and money.”

The software will be commercially available to the market starting from Sign & Digital UK, taking place at the NEC in Birmingham from 22 to 24 March, where Vivid will be exhibiting on stand G50.

It will be available for standalone purchase and also bundled with purchases of the VeloBlade Volta and VeloBlade Nexus systems.

Vivid said the cost will depend on the options taken and that customers need to contact the business for details.
