Artech Images provides prepress graphics, production artwork, file preparation, proofing, and technical support for label printers, packaging converters, and flexographic printing companies.

Our prepress work helps prepare artwork for production, reduce file problems, improve print consistency, and support accurate flexographic plate production.

Proofing options

Kodak Approval and dot proofing

For customers who require a closer production reference, Artech Images can support Kodak Approval-style proofing where applicable.

This type of proof can help review colour, content, layout, and print expectations before production.

Epson proofing

Epson proofs provide a practical and cost-effective way to review colour, layout, graphics, text, barcodes, and packaging details before final production.

This helps customers catch issues early and approve files with more confidence.

3D proofing

We can prepare 3D PDF proofs from final artwork and packaging specifications so customers can preview the package before production.

This is useful for reviewing structure, panels, graphics, and overall presentation.

Barcode and packaging support

Production-ready barcode files for labels and packaging

Artech Images prepares barcode files and packaging artwork support for labels, flexible packaging, cartons, and other printed packaging applications.

We can help generate and prepare high-quality barcode files based on the required coding information and production specifications.

Barcode support can include UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN, ITF, QR codes, and other common barcode formats used in packaging and label production.
