Abstract
This paper discusses work towards developing a packaging solution on a virtual platform. Specifically, it addresses the techniques investigated to create a mold (package) for a single product item that needs to be packaged. Packaging in the context of this paper refers to designing packages for solids. It addresses the issues of offset and vertex blending that arises during the process of creating a mold-like package design for a product. The goal of package design in this paper is to create an aesthetic mold that can be manufactured easily. Simple polygonal patches have been considered for small offsets while cubic rectangular, triangular and n-sided Bezier patches have been discussed to blend the offset planes when the amount of offset is large, leading to larger gaps between planes.
