What comes back

Three artifacts, from one file. These are the real ones.

  1. The specification, read from your file

    DETECTED SPECIFICATION FAMILY Stand-up pouch SIZE 4.5 × 6 in + 2 in MATERIAL 260 laminate · matte COLORS 7-color gamut CLOSURE PTC zip · tear notch ZIPPER POSITION open question

    Size, construction, material, colors and finishes, pulled off the artwork or dieline you already have. What it can't determine is flagged as an open question rather than guessed.

  2. The specification, read from your file

    DETECTED SPECIFICATION FAMILY Pressure-sensitive label SIZE 8.25 × 4.75 in MATERIAL White BOPP · matte lam COLORS CMYK + UV ink FINISH High-build varnish UNWIND DIRECTION open question

    Size, stock, colors and finishes, pulled off the artwork or dieline you already have. What it can't determine is flagged as an open question rather than guessed.

  3. The artwork, read back to you

    Flat artwork · front panel

    Flat front panel of the FIELD & FIRE stand-up pouch artwork, marked with four numbered readings 1 2 3 4
    1. 1 Brand block: largest type on the panel
    2. 2 Coarse halftone, high-build varnish over it
    3. 3 Net weight declared · 150 g
    4. 4 Bleed 3 mm: edge coverage confirmed

    Every line on the specification card comes from somewhere in the file. This is where — marked on the flat artwork, before anything is tooled.

  4. The artwork, read back to you

    Flat artwork · whole label

    Flat artwork of the SENSORY STOUT label, marked with three numbered readings 1 2 3
    1. 1 Die: rounded rectangle, measured off the cut line
    2. 2 High-build varnish, a plate of its own
    3. 3 Invisible UV ink: found as a separation, though it never shows in print

    Every line on the specification card comes from somewhere in the file. This is where — marked on the flat artwork, before anything is tooled.

The 3D view

See it before anything is tooled

Six designs on one pouch, generated rather than photographed. The same parametric geometry the quote is priced against, turning so the finish reads off-axis.

Your quote comes with a 3D view built from your own file, not artwork pasted onto a stock model: cut to the die we measured, with each finish rendered from the same plates the price is worked out from. Turn it into the light to check foil, varnish and soft touch while it’s still a quote — not after a print run.

The scope

What it quotes today

Print chosen by volume

  1. Digital ≤ 4,500 lm labels and short pouch runs · no tooling
  2. Flexo 4,500 – 50,000 lm wide web · plates per color
  3. Rotogravure 50,000 lm + cylinders per color

Sourcing analog runs · tooling and lead time quoted for both

  • Domestic 15–60
  • Intl · ocean 39–57
  • Intl · air 23–32

Business days, door to door. Offshore is not the slow lane, and its tooling is a flat $150 a carrier against $300 a flexo plate or $800 a gravure cylinder at home.

Connected to production

Built by the people who make the packaging

packOS comes out of Calyx Containers, a tenured packaging manufacturer and supplier. The pricing engine runs on the same equipment, materials and run rates the plant and manufacturing partners quote from.

That's why the quote you get is a number someone can actually stand behind.
