I know we use Artios. Our guys like it because it is very easy to create boxes based on standards. All they need to do is plug in the dimensions.
I have not heard of Engview, but im also not a cad guy.

Heidelberg Prinect Package Designer is build on Engview.

I was thinking of purchasing it, spoke to a rep today about it.
yea Heidelberg Prinect Package Designer is built on engview(if not just rebranded), as engview is a business partner of Heidelberg.
can give you prices
Engview Standard with AI integration is 3900 Euro
Engview Lite is 2900 Euro.
way more expensive than i thought it would be but when you compare it to artioscad or impact which are like £20k it is very cheap.

look up Cimex.
Cimex Corporation
it's oddly simpler, and nicer than Artios, and MUCH cheaper. the packaging Designer is only $3,000 USD.
My die maker uses it, and I'm envious of the packaging standards it has. Artios has a lot of neat features, but if you're just looking for designing dielines, it's a touch pricey for a lot of bells and whistles that you may not need. Last number I looks at was around $15,000 USD.
I don't know much about Engview though.

Another option for structural CAD and 3D visualisation is Arden Software (can also drive Esko and other brand sample/cutting tables):
Impact - Packaging design and manufacturing CAD software, WEBcnx - Enterprise and workflow management solutions for the packaging industry

We use ArtiosCAD here and it works great. I'm in the graphics side, but our designers send us the ARD file from Artios, we have a plugin that lets me place the file in Illustrator. I can do the graphics work and export it as a 3D rendering right from Illustrator.
The only potential drawback (aside from price) is that ArtiosCAD only works on PCs. I do run it successfully through Parallels on my Mac though.
