With the development of digital information technology

the use of virtual reality technology in packaging design can not only highly integrated design and manufacture

improve productivity

but also reduce production risk and cost

improve output and preserve the current resources. Nowadays

lean production

agile manufacturing and green design engineering and manufacturing develop rapidly

virtual reality technology has been applied in packaging design. 3D virtual packaging design technology not only changes the way of expression in the design process

it further changes the working mode of designers. With the advantages realized through the design platform of 2D and 3D simulation

it affect the whole art and design system

and inevitably affect and promote the development of packaging design. This paper will explore the application of virtual reality technology in packaging design.
