Module 02 · Packaging Operations
Artwork and repro through to print approval.
We turn approved designs into print-ready data: final artwork, repro and colour management, language and market adaptation, preflight and coordination with the printers. For single launches or entire ranges.
The problem
After design approval a draft becomes a production task.
After design approval, texts, dielines, barcodes, print profiles, languages and supplier requirements all come together. This is where most correction loops and the most expensive errors happen.
- 01
Errors get expensive
A wrong mandatory declaration, a broken barcode or a faulty separation can stop production and listing.
- 02
Every language its own file
Every market version has its own mandatory texts and its own approval. Maintained by hand, the checking effort multiplies with each one added.
- 03
Promotion windows are fixed
Listing and promotion dates in retail do not move when an approval is stuck.
Scope
What this area covers.
Artwork & final artwork for packaging
Approved designs become print-ready data, for single launches or the whole range.
Repro & Colour Management
Images and colours matched to substrate, print process and spot colours.
Language Adaptation & Packaging Rollout
One master artwork becomes every language and market version, through to the approved print file.
Do the math
What correction loops cost.
Four questions: you see how much internal time and budget your correction loops tie up, and how much of that a clean artwork process saves.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Yes. We take over existing files, templates and approval records and carry on from there. Switching does not have to mean rebuilding everything.
Through colour-managed production and a multi-stage preflight, from mandatory declarations and barcode through to the final print data. Fewer files then go into a second correction round.
Yes. Through our Automation module we connect PIM, DAM and ERP so master data is maintained only once.
