Governance

Validated before release.

Separation and trapping validated by systematic preflight before any file is released.

Efficiency

Ready for Plate. Ready for Press.

Fast, reliable packaging artwork production that scales with you when demand rises.

Technical prepress services

Color separation

Print-ready packaging artwork built to your brand and print specs, checked against them before release.

Trapping and overprint

Mandatory copy placed and validated to spec, so regulated content is correct on every SKU.

Imposition and step-and-repeat

Barcode and GS1 placement validated for scan accuracy, so codes read cleanly at retail.

Dieline application

Artwork applied to your supplied dieline and prepared for the downstream workflow.

Print-process-ready output

Output prepared for flexo, litho, gravure, and digital, ready for your printer to run.

Governed revisions

Revisions handled under version control, every change tracked and accountable.

How the prepress work is governed

Prepress quality you can verify

Preflight before release. Every file passes systematic preflight before it ships, so problems are caught upstream of the plate.

Validated separations and traps. Separations and traps are validated for the specific target process, so what you approve is what the press receives.

Plate-ready, checked to spec. Plate-ready output is checked against your printer's spec, and every job carries a version-controlled audit trail you can follow.

Right-first-time as method. The work is built to be correct before it ships, so corrections do not impact your schedule. Learn more about ARTiViA's packaging color and ΔE measurement.

ARTiViA's lower cost is the result of our lean, no-legacy structure, not corner-cutting. The governance stays; the overhead does not.

How a prepress project works

GET STARTED →

1. Start with a pilot project

We take your design assets, brand specs, print specs, and dieline, and confirm scope up front for a pilot project.

2. Governed prepress & QC

Separation, trapping, imposition, and step-and-repeat. Preflight and validation against your printer's spec.

3. Scale after success

Plate-ready files are delivered with a version-controlled audit trail. After the pilot, increase volume under an SLA and we operate as your preferred vendor or second source.

Where WE ARE going

The future of premedia

ARTiViA is built on expert human production and measurable governance. That is what we deliver today, and it is the foundation everything else stands on.


We believe the future of premedia is AI-powered production matched with human expertise and governance. Agentic intake and AI-native quality control make governed production faster to start and easier to audit, with human experts owning every judgment call.

Questions, Answered

Prepress artwork FAQs

Yes, it ends at plate-ready. We handle color separation, trapping and overprint, imposition and step-and-repeat, print-process optimization, and plate-ready and press-ready file preparation, all validated by preflight. We prepare the files your platemaker or printer needs. ARTiViA does not make plates or run presses.

Flexo, litho, gravure, and digital. Each has its own separation, trapping, and screening rules, so we build files to the specific process and press rather than a generic default. Tell us the process and printer, and the files are prepared and preflighted to that target.

Every job runs through systematic preflight before release. We validate separations and traps for the target process, confirm plate-ready output against your printer's spec, and attach a version-controlled audit trail. The goal is right-first-time: the file is built correct before it ships, not corrected after.

Production artwork is completed within 2–4 days. Prepress and color work are delivered in 2–3 days. Rush options are available when timelines shift. We provide surge capacity to handle seasonal SKU spikes that a single vendor may not be able to support. Client-specific SLAs are defined during pilot scoping.

A second source runs in parallel with your current vendor, not instead of it. You route overflow, surge, or specific programs to us to protect your timelines and margins, and you keep full control. Most engagements start with a scoped pilot before volume ramps under an agreed SLA.

You retain full ownership of your files, artwork, and data. Work runs through controlled access with a version-controlled audit trail on every job.

No. Today's production is expert human work with measurable governance: ΔE color control, right-first-time, and a full audit trail. We never use AI to generate your brand artwork or to answer a quality question.
