From design to technical artwork, right first time
Prepress
The best design loses its power as soon as a colour drifts, a cutter line is missing or the printer sends the file back. Prepress prevents that: your design is translated into complete technical artwork, ready for press.
The technical link between design and press
In prepress (repro) your design is turned into production-ready artwork step by step. Colours are separated and checked, resolution is right, cutter and fold lines sit in the right place and barcodes scan. Only when everything is technically right does the file leave our hands.
We know the print profiles of most printers at home and abroad, so we tune your artwork to the specific press and substrate in advance. Automated checks catch errors the human eye misses; our repro specialists do the rest.

Our full prepress package
Technical artwork
Colour separation, resolution and file build tuned exactly to print method and material. No rework afterwards.
Technical keylines
Accurate cutter, die and fold lines that match your pack format exactly. One wrong line and the carton folds crooked.
Colour management
Exact conversion to Pantone, CMYK or process colour. Your brand colour looks the same at every printer and on every material.
Proofing and press checks
A contract proof up front and our colour expert at the first print run, anywhere in Europe. We correct deviations on the spot.
Frequently asked questions
Which print methods do you prepare files for?
Flexo, gravure, offset and digital. If you master flexography, you can deliver quality on more standardised techniques too.
What is the difference between proofing and a press check?
A proof shows in advance how your packaging will print. During a press check our specialist stands next to the press and checks the result against the approved proof.
What happens if you find an error in the supplied file?
We report it straight away with a concrete proposal. Better one question up front than a full print run that is wrong.
