Create Hyper Realistic 3D Printing Packaging Solutions

Packaging 3D printing allows brands to prototype, test, and refine packaging quickly using additive manufacturing. It reduces development cycles, cuts costs, and supports creative freedom in a competitive, fast-paced market. 

Designers use PolyJet to create full-color, high-resolution mockups for ergonomic, visual, and consumer testing. With P3 DLP, they can validate fit, functionality, and performance for features like closures, threads, and structural integrity. 

3D printing helps teams iterate faster with fewer delays. Key benefits include: 

• Visual realism for CMF reviews 
• Functional testing for fit and usability 
• Lower prototyping costs and waste reduction 
• Faster stakeholder alignment without waiting for molded samples 

• PolyJet – Ideal for aesthetic prototypes with vivid color, fine detail, and smooth surface finish 
• P3 DLP – Suited for durable, functional testing parts that simulate injection-molded performance 

Stratasys provides: 

• PolyJet photopolymers for rigid, flexible, transparent, and full-color models 
• Origin® P3™ DLP materials for engineering-grade mechanical parts that mimic molded plastics in stiffness, strength, and durability 

Many mockups and functional parts can be printed in under 24 hours, allowing same-day evaluation of packaging features, visual design, and user experience. 

3D printing addresses long lead times, costly tooling iterations, and delays in consumer testing. It enables faster CMF evaluation, better communication across teams, and more sustainable, flexible development processes. 

Yes, PolyJet 3D printing technology can simulate natural materials like glass, wood, and marble, providing realistic textures and finishes. 

Examples include custom bottle designs for beverages, personalized engravings for perfume bottles, and unique shapes for cosmetic packaging. 

Yes, PolyJet™ 3D printers can produce packaging in Pantone-validated colors, ensuring accurate and consistent color reproduction. 

Identify pain points in your current packaging development workflow – especially where delays, iteration limits, or prototyping costs are high. Then consult a Stratasys expert to match the right technology and material to your application.
