The software development company Hybrid Software introduced PACKZ7, a new version of the intelligent automation and personalization PDF editor for the package and label industries. It offers a most effective blend of automated actions and dedicated prepress tools.
“The web-to-pack-and-label industry is growing rapidly because of the demand for more eye-catching boxes and personalized labels. Folding carton and corrugated converters are entering the digital print space, while prepress and platemaking service providers are using their know-how to refocus on streamlined workflows with direct connectivity to digital pressrooms. Such advances on all levels of the industry lead to PACKZ 7”, says Pascal Wybo, Product Manager Editors.
