Synchronizing the Digital Shelf

Printron helps improve consistency between online and retail stores.

Consumers are purchasing more and more products online these days. Consequently, it has become important to give consumers a consistent experience whether their path to purchase uses the “Digital Shelf” (online) and/or the “Physical Shelf” (retail store). To accommodate this shift, more companies are using 3D renders instead of traditional photography for their eCommerce needs. 3D pack shot renders can be made from final packaging artwork, and don’t require the logistics of shipping, staging, and photographing physical product samples; saving precious time and effort in the process.

Printron offers an integrated solution for these “Pack Shots”, 3D renders made right from the same files used for print! Our methods provide seamless synchronization between the physical and the digital shelf. We use industrial tools designed specifically for the packaging graphic services industry.

What is a Pack Shot?

A Pack shot is a specific type of a 3D render. We often refer to them as pack shots because these renders are meant to show a product in its CURRENT and OFFICIAL packaging, just the way you would see it on a physical retail shelf.

From the rise of mobile-driven eCommerce, websites, social media, and other omni-channel marketing applications, product renderings can be syndicated in many different ways. Technical requirements for these images can range from a simple JPEG or PDF file to a more defined industry standard such as GS1. The GS1 standard provides specifications for image size, resolution, and product angles.

Why is the Market Transitioning from Photography to 3D?​

Pack Shots can be created via photography or 3D software.

Although photography is often cheaper than 3D, photos are static images which capture a product and its packaging at a fixed resolution and perspective. Because photos are two-dimensional, you cannot alter the image perspective, rotation, angle, lighting, and/or shading for one; and second, you cannot change the label or packaging on the product unless you edit the image, which can be more expensive than having it recreated.

At Printron, our 3D renders are produced from the same artwork used to create the printed packaging. This is an important distinction when the end goal is to synchronize the digital shelf with the physical shelf.

Faster Marketing Support

Printron provides a faster, more efficient way for businesses to achieve marketing support with their integrated solution for eCommerce Pack Shots. Unlike traditional photography methods, Printron can create detailed 3D renders of products in just two weeks, compared to the 11 weeks that conventional solutions require. These Pack Shots can be used for both print and online marketing, making it an ideal option for businesses looking to improve their online presence while also staying consistent with their print materials.

Printron offers an integrated solution for eCommerce “Pack Shots” – 3D renders made right from the same files used for print.
