Quick Answer: Professional designers use AI packaging tools for rapid ideation (10x more concepts per hour), client presentations, design variation exploration, and first-draft generation. AI does not replace the designer — it eliminates the blank canvas problem.
How Designers Use AI
1. Rapid Ideation
AI generates 5–10 starting concepts in 5 minutes. Designer selects and refines.
2. Client Presentations
AI mockups in minutes instead of hours. Present more options, win more projects.
3. Variation Exploration
20+ color/layout variations in the time it takes to try 2 manually.
4. Production-Ready First Drafts
Cubit generates structurally accurate dielines. Designers refine artwork, not structure.
| Stage | Without AI | With AI |
|---|---|---|
| Ideation | 4–8 hours | 10 minutes |
| Client presentation | 2–4 hours | 30 minutes |
| Variation testing | 1 hour each | 60 seconds each |
| Total project | 2–3 weeks | 3–5 days |
