Artwork Online

Enables you to create your own artwork in minutes!
A simple, fast, cost-effective method of creating and extending ranges of packaging artwork in a logical and secure way.

Artwork Online can be used to amend texts, colours, complex graphic elements, images and even barcodes within an approved artwork template. This guarantees consistency and accuracy, and crucially also saves time and money.
Users can be empowered to new artworks and brand guidelines are applied automatically. The text, colours and images are applied to the template and are instantly available online, therefore range extensions can be ready almost immediately, reducing lead times from weeks to minutes.

Content Management

Content Management has been developed to support the collection, collation and validation of data for packaging and related processes.
Integrated with our Workflow and Artwork Online extensions it provides a powerful mechanism for delivering approved content directly onto packaging artwork, drastically reducing rework cycles and associated time and costs.
The system allows you to store product/item specific data collected via Content Management. Product data can be related in sophisticated ways, using masters and parent products to allow data inheritance, enabling you to perform extremely efficient and accurate data updates across your product portfolio.

  • Integration – built in comprehensive import/export functionality allowing you to integrate with existing systems.
  • GS1 compliant - your content compliant from the start!
  • Multi update - efficiently manage master and parent items to update your product data.
  • Master data – can act as a master data system that feeds other systems after approval.
  • Workflow - by using the workflow extension connected to Content Management you can control who does what and the sequence by setting up custom workflow.

Web to Plate

Web to plate is a service allowing you to upload a graphic file to our web portal Atom Millnet for automated production of plates making files. This without any intervention on our part, apart from the actual engraving production of the plate or the sleeve. 

This service is for you who have the file ready and have a need to purchase printing plates and sleeves only.
