Eskos WebCenter delivers end-to-end packaging process management, creating a competitive advantage by specifying requirements, managing assets and overseeing the entire design and production process. Online collaboration is also aided by Eskos Dynamic Content Engine that enables online creation, storage, translation and collaborative approval of all text for any kind of packaging. Reducing time from concept to shelf is another demand highly request by packaging specialist and brand owners. Therefore Esko will also highlight the time and cost savings delivered by Studio, a unique set of tools for 3D packaging design. Via ArtiosCAD, Studio links through to third party palletization software and as such multiple components can be visualized together while creating the artwork for each component. Eskos Store Visualizer takes this concept even further by placing the packaged product in a hyper realistic and dynamic retail environment.
One of the most actively discussed topics in the industry is colour management which is why Esko is also showcasing the effectiveness of its Color Engine and the integration with PantoneLIVE.
X-Rite steps up colour conversation
X-Rite Pantone will take the conversation a step further by detailing how PantoneLIVE, has quickly established itself as a vital tool for effective colour management throughout the supply chain.

This fast, accurate and consistent formula creation, storage, approval and retrieval solution for offset, flexographic, gravure and screen-printing inks, is able to rapidly calculate the optimal and most cost-effective recipe based on the printing process, ink, illumination, pigment pricing, and number of components and materials to be used. The new leftover function enables packaging printers to make use of left overs to formulate new colours and reduce costs and waste.
Videojet solutions assure 100% traceability
