Bensalem, Pa. – November TBD, 2025 – Allen Field Co., Inc., a leading provider of innovative packaging components and solutions for the structural packaging industry, today announced its selection by Esko as an approved component partner in the ArtiosCAD 3D component library. The addition, featured in Esko's latest product release (ArtiosCAD 25.11), represents a significant competitive distinction and validates Allen Field's commitment to supporting the packaging industry's digital design ecosystem.
With Allen Field components, including box clips, handles, and other critical handling components, now officially available in ArtiosCAD's library, packaging designers and manufacturers can access verified, production-ready Allen Field specifications directly within the industry-standard structural design software. This selection reflects Esko's confidence in Allen Field's product specifications, quality standards, and commitment to supporting integrated digital workflows.
How to Reduce Packaging Design Cycle Time with Integrated Component Libraries
ArtiosCAD is recognized across the packaging industry as the leading structural design software, with widespread adoption among packaging professionals, design firms, and in-house design teams. By adding Allen Field components to the ArtiosCAD 3D component library, the integration enables designers to:
- Select Allen Field components from within the ArtiosCAD design interface and automatically incorporate them into packaging designs
- Access precise component specifications and geometry data directly from the design environment
- Automatically sync 2D structural design files with official Allen Field component specifications, eliminating manual data entry and reducing errors
- Accelerate prototyping cycles by accessing verified, production-ready component information during the initial design phase
"Being selected for inclusion in Esko's ArtiosCAD component library is a significant recognition of Allen Field's commitment to quality and digital integration," said Robert Ahearn, vice president of marketing and sales at Allen Field. "This partnership validates our approach to supporting designers where they work and ensures that Allen Field components are a seamless choice in the packaging design workflow. It's a rare distinction in our industry, and we're proud to be part of Esko's ecosystem."
Gaining Competitive Advantage Through Digital Ecosystem Participation
One of the key advantages of official inclusion in the ArtiosCAD library is immediate visibility and credibility at the critical moment when packaging specifications are defined. Because Allen Field components are now part of Esko's official component library, designers recognize them as validated, production-ready options and can select Allen Field components at the moment sourcing decisions are being made.
The official integration also reduces the risk of design-to-production mismatches and rework, ultimately lowering costs and improving supply chain efficiency. For in-house design teams, this translates to faster design cycles and reduced dependency on manual component specification lookups. For design agencies and packaging consultants, it represents an opportunity to enhance client deliverables with verified, production-ready component data. For brand owners and retailers, it contributes to more reliable packaging specifications that support efficient supply chain execution.
