Preflight checks packaging artwork (flexible packaging, labels, flexible film) against your exact print spec and returns a prioritized report in under a minute, with plain-language fix instructions for the person who made the file.
This is exactly what your team sees. Real findings, real fix instructions, generated in minutes on any packaging PDF.
This demo uses a simulated file. Upload your own artwork at preflight.art/tool to see your actual report.
Every print method and substrate has its own rules. Preflight ships with purpose-built profiles for each, starting with digital labels.
Preflight doesn't just flag low resolution and missing bleed. It understands the structure of your artwork: reading callout text, tracing die paths, computing finished dimensions from first principles, the same way a prepress operator would.
"After years in packaging sales, one thing always stood out to me: the knowledge in pre-press is deep, but it almost never reaches the customer in a way they can actually use. We built Preflight to change that. To bridge the gap between what's happening on the production floor and what the sales team can relay to a customer with confidence.
The tools to catch these problems have always existed. They just weren't built for the people who needed them most: the sales reps, the CSRs, the small shops without a dedicated preflight operator. That's the gap Preflight was built to close."
Spot color name, overprint, custom-shape ArtBox support, hairline path detection, alias matching. Flags what your output device sees before it's too late.
Spot color naming and suffix-convention checks, CMYK-derived spot detection, per-profile suffix rules, white ink layer verification, across all packaging types.
Per-side bleed in inches, profile minimums, label dimensions vs. sheet size, including custom die shapes from ArtBox.
Embedding status, missing font detection, minimum point sizes for positive and reverse text by print method.
DPI per image, thresholds by print method (flexo, digital, offset), raster vs. vector classification.
TAC by profile (280% flexo / 350% digital), overprint detection, trapping verification for flexographic printing.
GS1 check digit validation, quiet zone, magnification, vector vs. raster, 100% K check. Optical barcode decoding, live.
Underbase spot color presence and naming for reverse printing on clear, white, or foil substrates.
Sign up and run 3 free preflight checks on your real production files. No credit card, no commitment. When you're ready to talk about full access, we'll walk you through what's available.
Run 3 full preflights on your actual production files. Spot colors, bleed, resolution, and more.
Purpose-built for HP Indigo, Xeikon, and digital press. Flexo labels and flexible packaging profiles coming soon.
Every run generates a professional PDF you can forward to your customer or keep on file.
