At Pocket Packet, I handle customer requirements and factory communication. I am also developing a packaging-design prototype, with AI supporting the technical implementation.

The problem it explores is specific: some visual ideas are difficult to explain in words. Seeing a layout may make it easier for a customer to point out what needs changing.

I want previews to help with discussions about artwork and layout. Dimensions, materials and production requirements still need to be confirmed with the factory; a screen image cannot answer every manufacturing question.

For now, I am developing the prototype separately from the packaging business. I would judge it by whether a preview helps a customer explain a requirement more clearly.
