Tools for More Efficient Cooperation

As a packaging and leaflet printing company, we have observed one thing over the years: the more emails, attachments, and file versions circulating between teams, the greater the risk of errors and misunderstandings. That is why we focused on centralizing data and simplifying communication.

For this reason, we implemented the Cloudflow platform within our organization. It is a comprehensive tool that supports us at nearly every stage of a project. Importantly, when you cooperate with Preston Packaging, you receive access to Cloudflow as part of our service – at no additional cost.

From a graphic file perspective, the key component of the platform is Proofscope – a tool for file analysis and approval. This stage is particularly critical because once the DTP studio prepares the project and submits it for approval, it is time to carefully verify what will ultimately go to press.

What does Proofscope offer? – Three key benefits for our Clients:

1. What You See Is What You Get
When you open a file for approval, you see exactly the same version as our graphic designer and your project manager – without the need to install additional software. All elements are visible, nothing disappears or remains hidden. This ensures that we are all working on the same version and speaking the same language, significantly reducing the risk of errors and misunderstandings.

2. Automatic File Comparison
We understand how responsible the file approval stage is. Proofscope enables automatic comparison of approval mock-ups prepared during the prepress process. The system clearly highlights differences – whether in content, positioning of elements, or layout. Instead of searching for changes manually, you see them instantly.

3. Professional File Analysis Tool
Proofscope is more than just a preview tool. It provides an advanced environment where you can check colors and ink coverage in specific areas, verify barcode readability, measure elements, and view finishing layers clearly separated. These are only a few examples – the tool offers truly professional capabilities for graphic file analysis.

File approval within Cloudflow is quick and intuitive – you add comments directly in the file, and they are immediately sent to our DTP studio. This significantly speeds up the process and makes cooperation with your printing partner simple and convenient.

Because high quality starts at the graphic file stage – and we want that stage to be as easy as possible for you.
