By maintaining strict colour standards, we help brands ensure their packaging looks exactly as intended, every time.
Polyflex was the first in South Africa to launch automated artwork management and approval platforms for brand owners. Our premedia technology allows seamless transfer of artwork across teams and stakeholders, ensuring an efficient approval process. The platform tracks all collaboration and annotations, allowing your project manager to keep timelines on track.
Benefits of Premedia Artwork Approval:
- Seamlessly move artwork between all approvers
- Easily store and review annotations from all collaborators
- Manage project deadlines and feedback with a user-friendly dashboard
- Ensure faster approval cycles and reduce bottlenecks
Polyflex is a leader in digital prepress services, offering certified colour proofs and digital printing approvals. Our prepress printing services include producing accurate contract proofs that represent the final printed job, taking into account press conditions such as substrates, inks, anilox, and tape.
These digital prepress solutions minimise time and material waste at the initial print stage, ensuring your packaging graphics meet expectations from the very first run.
Our Expanded Colour Gamut (ECG) printing services allow for more cost-effective, flexible packaging solutions, enhancing colour vibrancy and consistency while reducing costs. ECG reduces the need for spot colours by making use of a fixed 7-colour ink set, resulting in shorter setup times and higher consistency during print runs.
Benefits of Expanded Colour Gamut printing:
- Reduced press downtime
- Reduced wash-ups on the press
- Increased productivity in the press room
- Lower ink stock and reduced production costs
