Packaging errors can be detrimental to brand image and can potentially be harmful to consumers if they are given incorrect information on ingredient labels.
Avoid costly mistakes on your packaging by implementing WebCenter workflow management with robust online proofing and packaging quality control that reduces errors and catches mistakes before the product hits the shelves.
WebCenter is a thorough label, artwork, and packaging management system that can be integrated with an online artwork proofing system.
There are a number of ways an online artwork proofing system can work together with WebCenter to improve quality in packaging.
Barcode Inspection
Barcodes can be decoded and graded according to ANSI/ISO standards to make guaranteed scannable barcodes.
Braille Inspection
Braille (both glue dots and embossed), can be inspected and translated against the PDF file to ensure that that there are no missing or added dots.
Spelling Correction
Typos are acceptable for those in elementary school, but not for brands trying to win customers over.
And More...
Every brand—regardless of industry—should strive for perfection with its packaging label and artwork. By using online proofing software, brands can reduce errors and experience many benefits, including:
For brands operating in the consumer-packaged goods (CPG) and pharma and life sciences sectors, perfect packaging isn’t just a recommendation; it’s a requirement. The Food and Drug Administration, as well as other regulatory bodies worldwide, have strong guidelines and rules to follow when it comes to packaging.
But that hasn’t stopped many brands from making errors. The FDA estimates that an astonishing 51% of food and drug recalls can be attributed to labeling errors. But these packaging errors won’t just lead to product recalls or fines, they can also put the health of the consumer (and patients) in jeopardy.
The opinion of the consumer is also vital to the health of the brand; incorrect labelling can cost the company more than just regulatory fines—it could cost them the business from any consumer who sees or hears about the error.
WebCenter is more than just a proofing tool. This Esko solution is a workflow management software to help track, manage, and automate the packaging and labeling management process.
As an auditing tool, WebCenter will automatically maintain version control of all documents and archive older interactions, ensuring that only the latest and approved version is used throughout the workflow.
For a single packaging project, many different departments need to collaborate, like Legal/Compliance, Packaging Engineering, Marketing, Design, Pre-press, and Printers. WebCenter makes it easy for different teams to work together effectively to complete projects on time and without errors.
For highly regulated industries, compliance and adherence to the guidelines and principles of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) are critical to success. WebCenter is a dedicated management system for GMP labeling and packaging artwork change management. It helps companies control and maintain GMP compliance with ease.
