Introduction

Time to market pressure has never been so high! With todays demanding packaging specification and content this is more challenging than ever. Major issues that slows this process down in packaging artwork creation are the large number of revisions and amendments that occur to the packaging graphics.

The product

WebCenter is a powerful web-based Packaging Management platform to manage business process, approval cycles and digital assets.

Integration with CHILI publisher

Esko has developed a new plug-in for Adobe® Illustrator®, enabling users to open packaging designs in WebCenter to create, edit and modify the packaging content. A designer or artwork creator will be able to publish an Adobe® Illustrator® document to a WebCenter project. Content like nutrition facts, regulatory compliance data and other can then be provided by the brand owner simply by going online, opening and editing the document using the CHILI Editor within the WebCenter browser window and output workflows.

The benefits

• Achieve cost savings on artwork creation and increase speed to market
• Remove the annotation flow out of the collaboration and approval process
• Gain the ability to see the impact of text changes, directly in the context of the branded solution
