Packaging/Label

This video demonstrates an easy and quick way for an MIS operator to create an estimation including shape creation and automatic layout creation, without involving the CAD or prepress department.

In this video, we showcase the full integration between Business Manager and Prinect for creating products, including processing and approval at the 1up level. We also demonstrate the management of product, shape and tool information, along with their interdependencies.

The efficient creation of production orders is made possible by ganging sales orders for existing products. The ordered products contain complete processing information and can be seamlessly integrated into the workflow. Since the products have already been checked and approved in Prinect in the "1up workflow" (see video 2), no further PDF processing in Prinect is necessary. This ensures maximum process security and reliability and reduces the number of steps in prepress.

In this video, we introduce the Prinect Package Designer Integration, a fast solution for generating essential cost calculation data — perfect for customers without an MIS. Watch as we demonstrate how to create shape requests in Prinect Cockpit, which can be completed manually or automatically in Package Designer Integration using customizable templates.

This video guides you through creating a tool from a customer-provided file using a manual process. We also demonstrate how to generate a production job from this request, simulating a customer order for two articles.

Using the example of a packaging job, we show how you can convert manually set marks into Automarks and thus easily switch between different working methods.

If you save Automarks as Automarks Sets in the resources, you can use them to quickly create layouts in new jobs.

With the "Cover mark line type" auto mark, you can, when loading the CFF2 file, specify multiple line types that automatically create knock out panels such as glue flaps or dust flaps.

In this video, we present the Station Number, PageCutIndex mark as well as the Glue Flap Code and the ink zone-based Ink Pickup Bar as typical marks for packaging printing. 

The use and benefits of these marks for production are explained in a theoretical overview.

In this video, we show the practical application of the StationNumber mark, the PageCutIndex mark, the GlueFlapCode mark and the ink zone-based Ink Pickup Bar as typical marks for packaging printing.

In both Signa Station and Packaging Pro, you can set for each shape whether the trim paths for front and back printing should be identical or different. The video shows an example of how to create a layout without manually editing the paths.

This video tutorial gives you a brief introduction to the Nesting Wizard. It shows you how to import the files, start Label Pro and then create a nested layout for the labels with the Wizard.

As of version 2021.10, the "Multi Sheet Layout" function is availabale in the Nesting Wizard, which can be used to split the 1ups across multiple press sheets.
