Inspection System

An inspection system in print and packaging is a technology or setup that checks printed materials for errors, defects, or inconsistencies. It can detect problems like misaligned text, color deviations, missing elements, smudges, registration issues and much more. 

‍

Inspection systems can be manual (visual checks) or automated using cameras and software, and they help ensure the final product meets quality and regulatory standards. 

‍

Solutions like GlobalVision, a leading player in automated proofreading and inspection, streamline this process by comparing printed materials against approved digital files to ensure every detail matches.

‍

Why it matters:

‍

Inspection systems prevent costly mistakes from reaching the customer. They ensure that packaging is accurate, visually consistent, and compliant with brand and regulatory requirements, protecting both the brand’s reputation and the bottom line.

Platforms like GlobalVision and Verify help teams catch errors early and standardize quality across all production stages.
