We possess a diverse range of service disciplines - they serve as a foundation for comprehensive and dependable solutions.
The Graphical Life Cycle of a prepress file involves several stages, starting with photography, design, artwork, separation and finally omni-channel media outputs. It encompasses preparing the file for printing, ensuring technical specifications are met, but also the creation of high quality digital assets. Effective communication and collaboration between the design, prepress, and e-commerce teams are essential throughout the entire cycle.
We stage and photograph your products, make special features visible, such as ingredients or contexts, and thus bring them to life. Photography is a craft, not a commodity. Professional and well captured images create an emotional connection between the product and your customers.
With our in-house or external resources we ensure to provide the best results for your brand.
Once the strategy, visual identity and rules are defined, we implement (adapt) the individual designs. So flavors, sizes and promotional variants match your brand’s policies, the brand book and master design.
We take a sensitive and creative approach to the packaging design, and at the same time we stay focused on efficient production.
Optimised for the digital shelf, Hero Images answer the most important customer questions at a glance. Who is the brand? What is the product? Which variety is it? How much of it is there?
We bring the core visual assets together, building a “micro artwork” out of them.
We create our renderings, computer-generated images, directly from the native artwork file. They are tailored to the needs of all digital touchpoints, whether it's e-commerce or omni-channel.
The technologies used are the key to success. Various tools, applications and networked processes support us and our customers in overcoming the special challenges in the pre-media sector.
As printed films may shrink or expand in the subsequent packaging production process, the brand and design can be seriously compromised.
Artwork anticipates and compensates this by repositioning, pre-distorting or warping the design accordingly – to guarantee the brand’s genuine look and feel.
Chaos In > Structure Out

The physical spectrophone extension and the corresponding app turn the iPhone into a professional mobile spectrometer. Validation of colour has never been more direct, intuitive and flexible.
A true game changer.
Application examples: Wherever different parts of a packaging, which are not manufactured in the same process, have to match each other, e.g. plastic cover of a PET bottle to the brand color on the banderole of the PET bottle.
Whether digital or analogue - our products support the graphic life cycle at various points. Many of our products fill the gaps between the individual process steps and thus help to communicate information in a tailored manner.
Mockups simulate the final packaging with great attention to detail and in realistic colours. They represent tactile impressions such as embossing and surface structures through the use of genuine materials, as they are found in the later original.
We are working closely together with external partners in different parts of the world.
Our colour cards set and define the standards for any substrate, any printing process, anywhere in the world - ensuring your colours remain true to your brand. Loved by printers for their clarity by combining both scientific and physical references.
Our Colour Cards Pro specifies and describes your colour DNA in various colour models such as Hex, RGB, CMYK, Pantone, RAL or HKS. This ensures as-consistent-as-can-be brand colours in industrial applications way beyond print.
Individual Brand Colour Guides are tailor made to show you a short-list of colours, pre-selected by our print experts.
These colours will work well in a fixed / limited pallete setting, where “spots” are made up of base colours.
These guides support non-technical people in the early stages of the process, where colours for ranges, flavors need to be chosen wisely.
For your aerosol and beverage cans, we provide a conceptual digital prototyping solution – allowing you to see, touch and feel them already at the design stage.
With 99% accuracy to the final industrial printed product, our samples are digitally printed on the original substrate and shape (white or transparent cans).
Deeply interwoven with the Janoschka network, we can guarantee the highest imaging quality and fast turnaround times
for printing tools.
Remote contract proofing offers tremendous time savings. The validated repro separations are transmitted via a cloud service to a calibrated remote proofer located onsite at the client’s office.
Validation of the results can happen within minutes.
