Even for experienced architects, model making can be relatively simple or immensely complex. Rough study models can be made quickly with cardboard, polystyrene and foam, but this is as easy as it gets. Complex shapes, organic shapes and geometries need a more detailed approach which takes time. This is

Manufacturing packaging from scratch is an expensive endeavour, especially when that packaging needs to be a custom fit or form. As you scale the production of packaging it becomes economical, but short runs (for limited edition products, for example) always have a high cost. 80% of that cost is setup cost.
