Esko Studio 10 And Visualizer Studio Toolkit For Shrink Sleeves -
Esko Studio 10 and Visualizer Studio Toolkit for Shrink Sleeves: A Comprehensive Guide
- Structural Design: A 3D model of the container (bottle, can, tub) is imported. This can be created in Esko ArtiosCAD or imported from other 3D CAD software.
- Sleeve Definition: The user defines the size of the shrink sleeve (flat dimensions) and positions it on the 3D container.
- Design Application: The undistorted ("anamorphic") artwork is created in Illustrator.
- Distortion Application: The Studio Toolkit applies the distortion map. The software warps the 2D artwork so that when the virtual sleeve is "shrunk" in the 3D view, the artwork appears geometrically correct.
- Inspection: The user rotates the 3D model to inspect the fit, checking for text that might warp too severely over curves or be hidden by seams.
- Output: The distorted artwork is exported as a high-resolution production file.
