Packaging and label solutions company Esko has launched an updated online portal for managing packaging artwork and other assets.
The packaging management solution, WebCenter 16, has been enhanced with a new content management module which allows users to expand their artwork services.
Within the two months after it was released at drupa 2016, 30 per cent of the installed base of WebCenter requested to upgrade.
According to Esko, the new content management capability speeds the creation of packaging artwork by up to 50 per cent by automatically linking content to artwork.
This makes it easy to create and manage multiple variants and reduces the number of approval loops and amount of back-and-forth communication that they generate.
The re-use of text, including translations, leads to a reduction in operator time for creation and quality control of artwork and so reportedly cuts costs by as much as 30 per cent.
Automated review using technology from Global Vision provides Braille and barcode checking, plus text and image comparisons in addition to spell-checking.
WebCenter 16 now fully supports HMTL5, making it configurable and responsive on any supported platform from desktop computers to tablets to smartphones, giving easy access from the user’s preferred device.
