Why Use A Digital System For Label & Artwork Management?
Label and artwork management is the structured process of creating, updating, reviewing and approving all product labels and packaging artwork within a business. It covers every detail that appears on your packaging – from layout and typography to ingredient statements, nutrition panels, barcodes, claims, and regulatory text.
This process ensures that every visual and written element of a product’s packaging meets brand, legal and compliance requirements before it reaches the consumer. In industries such as food, beverage, healthcare and cosmetics, where packaging accuracy is tightly regulated, effective label and artwork management is essential to maintaining trust, safety and compliance.
Traditionally, these workflows rely on email threads, shared drives and static PDFs. Files are often exchanged across multiple departments and agencies, making it difficult to track revisions and identify the latest approved version. As a result, errors can slip through the cracks – leading to costly reprints, product recalls, or non-compliance penalties.
By introducing a dedicated digital system like 4Pack’s label and artwork management software, organisations gain a single source of truth for all packaging and artwork data. Every file, comment, and version is captured and stored centrally, giving full visibility and traceability throughout the entire lifecycle.
