The Software That’s Evolving the Digital Workflow

Did you know digital color, workflow, and the worldwide web are driving a new convergence in label printing creating new opportunities to profit and grow for label converting shops?

There are some great new software products that manage these converging technologies. Take Hybrid Software, for example. You can streamline your production, eliminate duplicate data entry and human error, and automate your production to reduce costs, improve printing and production performance.

“Hybrid Software provides the ‘missing link’ between MIS systems, web-to-print portals, and prepress workflow,” said Lee Zerfass, Digital Business Manager for Anderson & Vreeland, Inc. “Hybrid’s product line has expanded to include automated production workflow, customizable job ticketing, customer-facing e-commerce portals, resource-based scheduling, and version control for critical production files,” added Zerfass.

So we know that Hybrid products address four critical areas: customer-facing web portals (Frontdesk), job ticketing & automation (Facelift, Pipeline, Fileforce, Taskforce), soft proofing, and editing (Proofscope, PACKZ), and production workflow (Cloudflow).

These tools are all feature-rich, like PACKZ, which is the only native PDF editor all your production needs. PACKZ contains a complete set of prepress, editing, and quality assurance functions, such as trapping, separation handling, barcode creation and recognition, dynamic creation of info panels, object-based screening, and many more.
