Finishing is part of a creative vision. With DREAMCOMPOSER®, LEONHARD KURZ takes design processes to a whole new level. The design software brings finishing for packaging, labels, and other print products to life digitally - realistically, efficiently, and surprisingly easily. Whether you're a designer, brand manager, or creative strategist, DREAMCOMPOSER® is the key to impressive visualizations, faster workflows, and more efficient communication - from the initial idea to the finished product. Just in time for Labelexpo 2025, KURZ, the finishing specialist, is now launching a comprehensive update to its innovative 3D design software, including a new, free basic version and a premium version.
DREAMCOMPOSER® is more than a digital design tool. It is a virtual stage for creative ideas, where finishing is not the final touch but a central design statement. It allows KURZ transfer products to be applied directly to labels, packaging, and other print products - without production samples or lengthy coordination loops. The software brings realistic finishing effects to the screen in real time, making results immediately visible and streamlining the creative process. What used to be time-consuming, expensive, or difficult to communicate is now intuitive, flexible, and efficient - regardless of whether you are working alone on a concept or developing complex brand projects together with partners.
With the introduction of a free basic version, DREAMCOMPOSER® is the ideal entry-level solution for anyone who wants to gain initial experience with finishing or visualize individual projects efficiently. The free version allows you to work on up to five projects simultaneously and offers unlimited access to the entire range of KURZ transfer finishing options. Designs can be shared directly online – simply via a link, quickly, easily and without additional software. The free version offers all the basic functions needed to plan and present creative concepts convincingly. It is aimed at design professionals, start-ups and agencies and provides barrier-free access to the world of digital finishing.
Those looking for maximum design freedom and working increasingly professionally with finishing will benefit from the expanded premium version of DREAMCOMPOSER®. Not only does it offer unlimited project editing, but it also comes with a range of new features developed specifically for the high-end sector. Users will now be able to export their own 3D shapes and work seamlessly in other 3D workflows. In addition, high-quality premium substrates can be used that have been specially developed for demanding packaging solutions. Another new feature is the environment upload. This gives users the option of designing the lighting directly in their designs to be as realistic as possible. The whole thing is complemented by new professional lighting scenarios that ensure realistic material effects. With the new book generator, the software also offers a tool that provides structured support for publishing processes – ideal for print experts and brand architects who want to showcase entire catalogs, lookbooks, or collections. The premium version is available as a monthly subscription or as an attractively priced annual package, offering full flexibility depending on project volume and frequency of use.
With DREAMCOMPOSER®, KURZ has a clear goal: To remove the creative barriers to embellishment design while simultaneously improving design quality. Would you like to get to know DREAMCOMPOSER® first or take advantage of its full range of features right away? The new model system makes both possible. While the free basic version is primarily designed to facilitate access and is ideal for small projects, the premium version offers additional creative depth, more technical control, and expanded export functions. Both versions naturally feature the full range of KURZ transfer products and allow projects to be shared via a direct link.
The new version of DREAMCOMPOSER® will be available on the official KURZ platform from September 2025. The company is thus setting a milestone in digital design development: A tool that simplifies creative processes, realistically stages finishes, and unlocks the full potential of modern print design – regardless of whether you want to sketch initial ideas or design comprehensive brand worlds.
