Prepress readiness checker

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.

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.
