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
