Packhelp AR Mobile App - Design your custom packaging using ARKit

by•

We've created AR Mobile App as one of the most challenging problems we had here at Packhelp was how to help our customers better measure packaging before making a purchase. With AR it is so easy to precisely fit and compare your products with our packaging, without the need of ordering samples. You can also easily see your box design come to life.

Guys from PackHelp are doing exceptional work!

Pros:

You can easily check if object fit in your custom designed package. You can also experience your design in AR testing how it will look

Cons:

Sometimes it cannot find surface (probably Apple ARKit issue)

I was looking for a simple way to order different kinds of customized boxes in small volumes. Printing is an "old" business, where things like mobile apps or even proper customer service for smaller clients is not easy to come across. These guys make it more accessible for the little guy.

Pros:

The app allows you to see different designs and prices for different box sizes

Cons:

You can't make an order through the app

Thanks a lot for your review! In fact it's just first version of our app, we will be developing it constantly and placing orders is on our list. :)

Hey! At Packhelp we've just published our AR Mobile App for iOS. We encourage everyone to check it out! It makes use of AR technology included in iOS 11 to display our products in augmented reality. You can literally place a box on your desk and view it from all angles. To us the possibilities of ARKit are mind-blowing and we can't wait to see how other companies are going to use it. It's really important to us as one of the most challenging problems we had was how to help our customers better measure our products before making a purchase. They ask us a lot about it and we tend to send them samples, which is completely inefficient: it's capital and time consuming. You can use our app to pick the right size of packaging thanks to its semi-transparent mode (see it in action in the video below). You can also log in to visualise your own design from our web-app. :)

Congrats team. Shout out to fellow NUMA alumni @patrykkabaj. Really awesome to see this coming out so quickly, and it absolutely makes sense (and kind of blows my mind how much power we have at our fingertips from ARKit already!). Outside of the AR view to help fit products to your package sizing, what other ideas do you have for the app? Any integrated ordering flow?

@davedri Hey, we're definitely thinking of introducing features such as Order Progress Tracking or Reorder functionality. We'll be soon working on the Android version. We're now looking into our clients' feedback and we'll decide what's going to be next. Thanks for the shout out @davedri :)
