    Challenges in packaging projects

    Precise corrections required

    With packaging, every millimetre counts. Vague feedback like “a bit more space here” leads to costly printing errors.

    Multiple stakeholders

    Marketing, product management, legal, quality assurance – they all have to approve packaging. Coordinating them is complex.

    Print data requirements

    Colour profiles, bleed, spot colours – technical details have to be communicated precisely. Emails aren't enough.

    Costly printing errors

    Once printed, errors are expensive. A systematic approval before going to print is essential, but often chaotically organised.

    Packaging approval workflow with structured feedback

    Structured feedback process

    With draftgo, you collect all comments and approvals in one place. The visual feedback system makes corrections precise and traceable.

    • Place comments directly on the design
    • Automatic notifications for new feedback
    • Clear version history

    How draftgo supports packaging projects

    Precise point annotations

    Mark the exact spot on the packaging that needs correcting. No more misunderstandings.

    Check colour rendering

    Comment on colour deviations directly in the design. Perfect for proof reviews and colour approvals.

    Multi-page packaging

    For multi-page packaging (folding cartons), you can comment on and approve each page separately.

    Prepress check

    Structured checklists for technical requirements: bleed, colour profiles, resolution, fonts.

    Approval Loops

    Define who has to approve in which order. From the first design review to final print approval.

    Version control

    Every design iteration is versioned automatically. The complete development history remains traceable.
