Custom Packaging Artwork Readiness Checker
Direct answer: Check whether a pouch or flexible-packaging artwork package is ready for supplier preflight. The checklist covers the approved dieline, bleed and safe zones, fonts, linked images, color and white-ink instructions, barcodes, mandatory copy, finishes, SKU version control, and final approval. It is a planning tool, not a regulatory, barcode, color, or print-production approval.

Interactive preflight checklist
Check the production artwork package
Mark only items that are confirmed in the files you intend to release. A high score means the package is ready for supplier preflight—not that printing, color, barcodes, claims or regulatory copy are approved.

SKU, market, language, barcode, quantity, filename, revision, approver and release date for every artwork.
Approval boundaries
A supplier proof is not every type of approval
| Review | Primary owner | What it should confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Prepress proof | Packaging supplier + brand | Layout, separations, dieline position, print instructions and version. |
| Regulatory and claims | Brand + qualified market specialist | Required statements, language, claims and legal responsibility. |
| Barcode | Brand / barcode authority | Correct encoded data, symbol construction and verification plan. |
| Color target | Brand + printer | Reference standard, substrate effect, process limits and acceptance method. |
Turn the screening result into a sample brief
Send the variables that determine the final specification
Share the tool result with your product, equipment, processing, quantity, and market details. Our technical team will use it as a starting point for sample planning—not as a substitute for filled-pack validation.
Get direction on pouch type, film structure, closure, finish, and shelf-life risk before locking a specification.
Share your target run size so we can compare digital, custom, and bulk production trade-offs.
Include filling method, pack size, material preference, artwork status, and launch timing for a more precise reply.
Decision tools
Plan a low-MOQ launch without hiding the trade-offs.
Start with quantity per SKU, shared specifications, print route, and sample readiness. A 200-piece starting point can be practical for eligible digital projects, but pouch construction and validation still determine feasibility.
