See how GlobalVision and Esko bring integrated quality and power AI-driven quality control in your packaging workflow.
Yet, prepress directors and packaging teams are still battling manual bottlenecks, disconnected tools, and the constant pressure of tight deadlines. You are being asked to increase production capacity without adding headcount, all while maintaining flawless quality control across text, graphics, barcodes, and braille.
It is a near-impossible balancing act. But it doesn't have to be.
The era of siloed tools and manual checks is behind us. The solution to scaling production while eliminating costly recalls lies in integrated quality, embedding automated, AI-driven quality checks directly into the workflows you already use every day.
Here is how GlobalVision and Esko are joining forces to make flawless packaging a scalable reality.
Join our webinar to find out more.
What Is Integrated Quality?
Integrated quality is an approach that embeds quality control directly within packaging and artwork workflows rather than treating it as a standalone activity performed at the end of production.
Instead of relying on manual inspections, disconnected software tools, and multiple handoffs between teams, quality checks become part of the production process itself.
Every stage of packaging development, from content creation to artwork approval and final production, benefits from automated verification and continuous quality monitoring.
The goal isn't simply to catch errors. It's to prevent them from moving downstream in the first place.
The Cost of Disconnected Quality Processes
Many packaging organizations still operate with fragmented workflows.
Their artwork is created and approved in one system, while quality inspections take place elsewhere.
Teams rely on spreadsheets, emails, PDFs, and manual review cycles to bridge the gaps.
These disconnected processes create several challenges:
- Rework caused by errors discovered late in production
- Delays introduced by manual inspection activities
- Limited visibility across teams and locations
- Inconsistent quality standards between sites
- Growing pressure on already stretched resources
The problem becomes even more significant as packaging volumes increase.
Every additional market variation, language update, and regulatory requirement creates more opportunities for errors and more work for quality teams. In fact, 63% of printers say missed errors and defects are still a major challenge today.
The Quality Pillar: Uniting the Best in Packaging
For over a decade, GlobalVision and Esko have worked side by side to help packaging teams eliminate errors and accelerate production. Now, that partnership is entering a powerful new chapter.
GlobalVision is now officially Esko’s Quality Pillar.
What does this mean for your prepress department? It means we are establishing GlobalVision’s industry-leading inspection technology as the quality backbone of the entire Esko ecosystem.
By uniting the pioneer of packaging automation with the leader in AI-powered quality control, we are giving prepress teams a seamless, foolproof way to ensure accuracy at every touchpoint. No more jumping between disparate platforms. No more blind spots. Just undeniable, standardized quality.
Automation Today: Streamlining the Prepress Workflow
You don't need to wait for the future to start maximizing efficiency. Integrated quality is already transforming how top-tier packaging teams operate today.
Through our current integrations, you can leverage GlobalVision’s Verify directly within Esko’s Automation Engine. Think of it as your solution that automatically checks every file in the background. Without leaving your prepress platform, you can run over 100 automated quality checks simultaneously, including:
- Text & Copy: Instantly catch typos and mixed copy.
- Graphics: Detect missing elements, registration shifts, and unintended graphical changes.
- Barcodes & QR Codes: Verify scannability and grade standard compliance.
- Braille: Translate and ensure precise braille dot placement.
The results speak for themselves. In fact, a recent case study with Fortis Solutions Group revealed an incredible 83% time savings simply by catching errors earlier in the process. Their previous system relied on more manual server workers, leading to frequent system failures. They also annotated PDFs in Acrobat manually, which led to errors that were often "glazed over."
By embedding automated proofreading tools early in the workflow, their team was able to drastically reduce their turnaround times and improve their quality control processes.
Building the Future of Packaging Quality
The future of packaging operations isn't about adding more review cycles. It's about making quality an automated and constant part of the workflow.
As organizations continue to pursue greater efficiency, integrated quality will become a critical capability for maintaining both speed and accuracy at scale. The companies that succeed will be those that eliminate the traditional divide between workflow automation and quality control.
Instead of treating quality as a checkpoint, they'll treat it as infrastructure.
Join the Minds Shaping Integrated Quality in Packaging
By embedding automated proofreading into every stage of the packaging artwork lifecycle, you don’t just ensure compliance, you save time, avoid rework, protect your margins, and ultimately build unwavering trust with your customers.
Are you ready to crush your deadlines and protect your margins without stretching your team to the limit?
