Demands Change. How Fast Can Your Labels and Packaging Artwork?

As consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies look to drive growth and brand differentiation, they work to expand their presence in global and emerging markets, along with ramping up customer engagement and expanding e-commerce offerings. To do this, these companies are looking for ways to create new efficiencies, react faster to changing customer requirements, address product customization, improve tracking and tracing of product, and even help thwart counterfeiters. Find out below how the right Enterprise Labeling and Artwork Management Solution can help.

Enterprise Labeling for Consumer Products

Easily build and share templates that comply with regulatory standards bodies (e.g. REACH, RoHS)
Support serialization, holograms and other technologies to further increase efficiency, help prevent counterfeiting
Extend labeling to suppliers, contract manufacturers, 3PLs to eliminate relabeling—save millions in inventory costs
Leverage standardized enterprise-wide labeling and GS1 standards to improve traceability in event of a recall
