Know if your packaging artwork is ready to print.

We check and prepare the file, then show the expected print conditions in a detailed digital proof. Add a FOGRA physical contract proof when colour must be judged on paper.

Is this artwork ready to approve?

We find the details that are easy to miss, show them clearly and give your team a practical basis for approval before the job reaches press.

  1. 1
    Show us what you have

    The artwork, intended print process and available printer requirements.

  2. 2
    We map the right scope

    We review the file and confirm the digital and physical proof scope you actually need.

  3. 3
    Receive a useful outcome

    A checked digital print proof and, if ordered, a colour-managed physical reference.

No technical brief required. Send the project as it stands and we will ask for what is missing.

ENHANCED PRINT PROOF

Convert and check the file for print.

Send the client-supplied artwork together with the available printer requirements. We review the complete file, make the agreed technical corrections within the proofing scope and present the result in a digital print proof that is easier to review and approve.

What we check

  • Color profiles and color separations
  • Image composition, where present
  • Overprint conditions
  • Printed and unprinted areas
  • Varnish cut-outs and varnish types

Production details

  • Special effects, including Braille, embossing, foil and UV varnish
  • Dimensions and dieline relationship
  • Printing method
  • Available printer specifications
  • Clear proof and version information

Example: You send a finished carton file and the printer specification. We check the separations, overprint, varnish, effects, dimensions and print method, correct the agreed technical issues and return the digital proof for approval.

Several similar artworks? When a batch shares similar features, structures or repeatable checking requirements, we can offer more advantageous volume pricing after reviewing the files.

Eligibility: one standard-scope artwork per new B2B client, subject to file review, available capacity and written confirmation. Graphical creation, major reconstruction, physical proof and urgent delivery are excluded.

PHYSICAL CONTRACT PROOF

See the expected colour before production.

We produce a colour-managed physical contract proof on FOGRA-certified proofing paper. Under standardized proofing and viewing conditions, it provides 99% color accuracy to the expected printed result in the target print condition.

What is included

  • One physical contract proof from the approved print-ready file
  • FOGRA-certified proofing paper
  • Colour-managed output for the agreed print condition
  • 99% color accuracy to the expected printed result under standardized conditions
  • EU-wide standard shipping

When to use it

  • Before approving colour-critical packaging
  • When stakeholders need a physical reference
  • To align client, prepress and printer expectations
  • As a documented colour target before production

Example: After approving the enhanced digital proof, you request a physical contract proof to compare the expected colours under controlled lighting before authorizing production.

What it does not simulate: the contract proof is a colour reference. It cannot simulate special effects such as Braille, UV varnish or embossing, and it does not reproduce the exact production substrate, surface texture, metallic inks, foil or other finishing effects. The final press result can vary with material, ink, machine and production conditions.

Order a physical contract proof

Use the two proofs in sequence.

The digital proof resolves technical questions first. The physical proof then gives decision-makers a controlled colour reference.

1

Approve structure and technical detail

Review the enhanced digital proof for separations, overprint, varnish, effects, dimensions and printing method.

2

Review the physical colour reference

Use the contract proof under standardized lighting to assess the expected colour result before production.

Combine and save: order at least two services together for the same artwork and receive 15% off their combined total. This discount cannot be combined with separately agreed volume pricing. Compare the services.

The digital proof checks what the file asks the press to produce. The physical contract proof provides the controlled colour reference.

PROBLEM 8

White text or another object may disappear.

Overprint simulation and separation review expose output behaviour hidden by an ordinary PDF view.

PROBLEM 9

The file contains the wrong separations.

Spot inks, process colours and non-printing technical layers are identified before approval.

PROBLEM 10

Screen colour is not the press target.

Use a contract proof when stakeholders need a physical reference for a defined print condition.
