Automated Consultation
Chat with our Design Intelligence
Tell our system about your product, brand, and style preferences. It asks smart questions and builds a comprehensive design brief automatically.
One Generation. Everything You Need.
Every AI generation produces a composite image with both your print-ready dieline AND 3D preview — 100% consistent design across both views.
Print-Ready Dieline
All panels laid flat — front, back, sides, top, bottom. Fold lines (dashed), cut lines (solid), glue tabs, and dimension annotations in mm. 3mm bleed included.
3D Preview
See your assembled box instantly. The exact same design from the dieline, wrapped onto a 3D product shot. Perfect for quick validation.
100% Consistency
Both views are generated together. No mismatch between your flat template and 3D mockup. What you see is what you print.
Everything You Need to Design & Refine
View modes, annotation tools, and specialized AI knowledge — all built into one powerful design studio.
Dieline View
Print-ready flat template with fold lines, cut lines, dimensions, and bleed areas. Ready for production.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about the Design Studio.
How does the AI design consultation work?
You chat with our AI Senior Packaging Design Director — a specialized design intelligence that understands your company (loaded from your account), industry, and brand colors. It asks about your product, packaging preferences, and design style, then generates a comprehensive design brief. Once ready, it creates your packaging in under 60 seconds.
What exactly is the 'composite output' I'll receive?
Each generation creates a single high-resolution image (2K-4K) split into two parts: a print-ready DIELINE (flat template showing all panels with fold/cut lines and dimensions) on the left (70%), and a 3D PREVIEW showing the assembled box on the right (30%). Both show the exact same design — 100% consistent.
How do I make changes to my design?
You have two options: 1) Use the canvas annotation tools (draw, highlight, arrow, text) to mark up areas, then describe changes in chat — AI regenerates with your feedback. 2) Simply type what you want changed (e.g., 'make the logo bigger') and AI understands and applies the edit.
What are the 4 view modes?
Dieline (flat print template), 3D Mockup (quick preview from composite), Full 3D Render (high-res photorealistic render generated separately), and Insert View (for multi-component packaging with inserts/trays). Switch between them with one click.
Can I design boxes with inserts or multiple components?
Yes! Tell the AI you need a 'box with insert' or 'gift set with divider'. It generates both the outer box dieline AND the insert dieline separately. You can view and edit each in the Insert View mode.
How does the human designer handoff work?
When satisfied with your AI design, click 'Submit for Review'. A professional designer is assigned to your project. You can chat with them directly, they refine the design for manufacturing specs, and you approve or request changes. Once approved, create an RFQ to get production quotes.
Is there version history?
Yes! Every iteration is saved automatically. You can view all versions, switch between them instantly, and restore any previous version. Nothing is ever lost.
How do I order my packaging after design is complete?
Once you approve the final design, click 'Request Quote' to create an RFQ. Enter your quantity, add any notes, and submit. You'll receive pricing and can place your order — which then flows into Cubit Flow for production tracking.
What Is AI Packaging Design?
A free online packaging design tool that turns a plain-English description into a print-ready dieline and a 3D mockup in under 60 seconds.
AI packaging design is the use of artificial intelligence to generate custom packaging artwork, print-ready dielines, and 3D mockups from natural-language descriptions. Cubit Design Studio is a packaging design AI built specifically for product packaging (not a generic image generator). It produces complete box designs - panel layouts, fold lines, cut lines, bleed areas, and dimension annotations - in under 60 seconds, compared with 2-3 weeks for traditional design. The tool supports 6 packaging types (mailer boxes, rigid boxes, folding cartons, cylinder tubes, sleeve boxes, and pillow boxes) across 50+ industries including cosmetics, food and beverage, cannabis, e-commerce, supplements, and luxury goods. Every generation returns a 2K-4K composite image with a print-ready dieline (70%) and a 3D assembled-box preview (30%) for 100% design consistency.

Free Online Packaging Design Tool
Cubit works as a free online packaging design tool, packaging creator, and packaging design app — with nothing to install. If you want to create your own packaging or design your own packaging online free, describe your product and brand and the AI returns an editable dieline and 3D mockup you can refine in the browser. It is a faster, lower-cost alternative to traditional packaging design software for founders and small teams who need print-ready output.
AI Dieline Maker and 3D Box Mockup Generator
As a dieline maker and box mockup maker, Cubit creates the flat production template (panels, fold lines, cut lines, glue tabs, and 3mm bleed) alongside a photorealistic 3D preview built from the same design — print-ready packaging from AI concept to finished file. Unlike generic AI image generators, every output is a box template maker result you can send directly to a printer. The packaging mockup generator is free with unlimited iterations.
Custom Box Design Online for Small Businesses and Startups
Small businesses, startups, and DTC brands get the most from custom box design online because it removes the $500–$5,000 freelance cost and the 2–3 week wait. With Cubit you get unlimited packaging design iterations — go from concept to print-ready output in minutes, refine without limits, and bring in a human designer only for final production optimization. It also works as a brand packaging design AI and packaging label design tool for product labels and inserts.
How to Design Packaging for Your Product
Designing packaging for a product used to require hiring a graphic designer and a structural engineer. With an online packaging design editor like Cubit, you describe your product, pick a box type (mailer box, rigid box, folding carton, cylinder tube, sleeve box, or pillow box), and the AI generates a complete package design tool output — dieline, artwork, and 3D preview — in under 60 seconds. The packaging content editing tool lets you annotate, adjust, and iterate until the design is perfect.
