Volkers Lab

Tomorrow's craft, built on a hundred years of print

Innovation is not a side experiment for us. We build our own software, automate every step that does not need a human, and keep the specialist where the difference is made.

01

AI-driven artwork checks

Our development team and AI specialists build checks that verify copy and specifications automatically and highlight differences between artwork versions. Errors are caught before they reach the printer. The final check stays with an experienced repro specialist.

  • Automatic copy and specification checks
  • Visual comparison between versions
  • Smarter use of client and production data
02

3D digital twins

We build an exact 3D wireframe of every pack format. With your real artwork on it, it becomes packshots, hero images, MOIs and 3D mockups. Ready before the product exists, and simply re-rendered when the artwork changes.

  • Packshots before production
  • Always colour true from the artwork
  • One model, every channel
03

Artwork Connect

Our own brand asset management platform. All artworks, versions and approvals in one place, with process steps in the right order. Clients report up to 50% faster time to market and 30% fewer errors.

  • Version control per SKU
  • Recorded approval flows
  • One source for brand, agency and printer
04

Connected production

Printers order plates through our portal or with an XML integration from their own system. Batch-specific plates with variable codes are built automatically, including a proof PDF for approval.

  • Portal and XML integrations
  • Automatic proof PDF
  • Less manual work, fewer errors

Digital is sustainable too

Automating and digitising the packaging process (proofing and 3D packshots instead of extra print proofs and photo shoots) lowers failure costs in the chain. Fewer failure costs means less pressure on the environment.

Build with us

We have serious software ambitions and are looking for people who want to help build our platform and ERP landscape.
