FAST AND ACCURATE OUTPUTPACKZ GRAVURE guarantees identical RIPping of every repeated station in the layout, resulting in identical printed results. PACKZ opens the resulting engraving � le for inspection, and the Densitometer tool allows accu-rate measurement of each individual pixel.

CLOUDFLOWCLOUDFLOW connects with 3rd party applications to re-trieve parameters and other vital pieces of information to automate production, eliminating double entry and operator interventions.

The gravure work� ows in CLOUDFLOW can use ERP/MIS data to generate automatically step and repeats, 8-bit TIFF data, and Hell Jobtickets for Hell Gravure engravers.

The solution brings cylinder engraving to the next level, where user errors are reduced and delays are avoided.

HIGHLIGHTS• Identical RIPping of all stations

• Separated or Composite 8-bit TIFF � les

• Oversampling parameters

• Fast forward data � le

• Mirror, rotate and gamma correction

• Fastest solution in the market

• Full automatic gravure output and Hell Jobticket

PACKZ Gravure cylinder engravers require a grayscale image for each color separation since the density of the grayscale determines the intensity of the print. PACKZ GRAVURE option is the fastest cylinder layout and grayscale TIFF output in the market.

Using its powerful multiprocessor capability, PACKZ GRAVURE outputs 8-bit composite or separated TIFFs in mere seconds to any engraving technology that supports this � le type.

Rotation and mirror functionality is available in PACKZ GRAVURE so that engravers do not have to do the transformations anymore. Gamma corrections can be applied immediately during export. Oversampling is applied on the stepped result for maximum quality, and registration marks are skipped by default.

Additionally, fast forward data can be generated which ensures that non-engraved areas are passed over quickly on the engravers for maximum throughput.

CUP DEFORMATIONGrids can made using technical layouts or created using numeric values through a cup generator. The resulting source and destination grid creates the link between the rectangular design and the warped result. Vector shapes, shadings, and image objects are deformed in record time. A single click creates a 3D model for real-time feedback.

METAL CANPACKZWARP uses a powerful can modeler to generate a framework for the mechanical distortion of the metal can. With a few distortion measurements, Packz gener-ates the destination grid, warps the rectangular design around the metal can and shows the 3D result instantly.

The PACKZWARP option in PACKZ is a powerful non-destructive and professional deformation solution. PACKZWARP distorts a part or a complete design to compensate for the deformation the printed product will undergo when it adopts its � nal three-dimensional shape. The distortions applied to the graphics are based upon grids which are created within the same module and are dependent on the type of warping necessary.

ASYMMETRIC SHRINK SLEEVEA 3D shaped model coming from a 3D application is the basis for the creation of the shrink sleeve. The direct link between PACKZ and the optional IC3D software from Creative Edge provides a real-time simulation of the shrink sleeve on the 3D model. The shrink sleeve design is adjusted where needed after the warping results are displayed.

HIGHLIGHTS• Conical cups and labels

• In-mold labels

• Shrink sleeves

• Non-destructive deformation

• Grid generator from technical layout

• LIVE 3D simulator

• 3D modeling and 3D PDF

SYMMETRIC SHRINK SLEEVEThe technical design or the unique Path Edit tools in PACKZ allow users to create a vertical crosscut of the symmetric shaped model. The spinner calculates the deformation parameters. The Live 3D preview instantly shows the result allowing intervention on objects where adjustments are needed. PACKZ creates a mask to com-pensate the change in ink density caused by shrinking.

PACKZ DYNAMIC ARTWORKCLOUDFLOW

CLOUDFLOW connects with 3rd party applications to retrieve parameters and other vital pieces of information to automate production, eliminating double entry and operator interventions.

CLOUDFLOW and PACKZ DYNAMIC ARTWORK retrieve data from databases or customized web pages and delivers it direction to the production work� ows. As result, the work� ows can deliver updated designs auto-matically.

HIGHLIGHTS• Dynamic label and packaging from templates

• PDF-based variable data solution

• Reduce errors by eliminating double entry

• Reduce cost of producing multiple � avors or languages

Reusing assets in the label or packaging design boosts the value and e� ciency of the content. PACKZ DYNAMIC ARTWORK makes it easy to create PDF templates that link objects to external content and generates updated labels and packaging de-signs.

FEATURES• Create variable objects in shape and color

• Synchronize text lines and blocks with an external data source

• Format text using HTML tags

• Link images to an external data source

• Update barcode parameters with data from an external data source

NESTED STEP AND REPEATNested Step and Repeat is an option in PACKZ to impose folding carton designs using the CF2 cutting die re-trieved from the CAD system. The user browses through diecut libraries using the Quick Look Function, and sees the preview without the need to import the � le.

PACKZ generates full colored step and repeats or dy-namic templates that can be reused at any time. A single click instantly creates the back side out of a front repeti-tion. The Translucent Quality Assurance tool shows the register between front and back side.

Di� erent single designs may be combined in a repeti-tion, in which each station can de� ne its own station number, positioning and bleed handling. The Common Knife tool detects, highlights and allows users to set the bleed priority in the stepped result. De� ning and storing these priorities in the 1-up station can automate the process.

Seamless Step and Repeat

TABULAR STEP AND REPEATTabular Step and Repeat creates web-fed printed label or � exible packaging layouts.

PACKZ includes block repeated multipage single designs with staggered vertical and horizontal stepping. The Seamless Calculator produces continuous lanes with a staggered diecut. The result is a dynamic template or full color � le that can be reused at any time.

Each block has its own trim path, positioning and bleed handling. Bleed follows the irregular shaped label and PACKZ can nest the blocks for the optimal label repeat.

INTERACTIVE STEP AND REPEAT AND GRID IMPOSITION

The Interactive Step and Repeat for sheet-fed labels allows assembling templates or full color repetitions of custom-sized blocks, for mass production of cut and stack labels. The Grid Imposition combines many di� er-ent designs of the same size on a sheet. This repetition function is suitable for greeting cards, credit cards, name cards, playing cards, and more.

PACKZ stores registration marks in central or local librar-ies and applies them to the Step and Repeat. The marks automatically transform and update when changes are made, since they are driven by repetition parameters and the 1-up design.

HIGHLIGHTS• Highly productive using CF2 die layouts

• Self-contained step and repeat with external references

• Dynamic templates or full colored Step and Repeat

• One application for stepping and single design editing

• High-resolution preview

• Customizable registration marks

• CIP3 output capabilities

• Gravure 8-bit TIFF export

• 3D modeling and 3D PDF

LINKSAlthough the PDF is self-contained, external references are also remembered. Therefore, modi� cations in the referenced designs are tracked, and can be distribut-ed back to the layout. The user sees the full resolution design in the step and repeats. Shortcuts allow easy switching between di� erent view modes. An in� nite deep zoom level allows viewing and editing even the smallest object.

LIVE 3DThe LIVE 3D option can show the 3D shape (folding carton, pouch, sleeve, etc.) instantly on screen, making it easier to verify the seamless connection between the sides or panels. Changes in the 2D single design are instantly synchronized with the 3D view. ACKZ outputs IC3D or Collada � les and can link with 3D modeling applications for the creation of complex folding cartons or 3D models.

DYNAMIC MARKSLive Objects is PACKZ’s innovative technology for mak-ing customized registration marks and other elements. It enables the user to rapidly create Dynamic Live Objects and connect them to the PDF document content.
