CGS supports Color-Logic file format

The Color-Logic file format necessary to print its Process Metallic Color System is now supported by CGS 3D visualization software, meaning designers and brand managers using the CGS system can see Color-Logic special effects and metallic colors on their monitors, and visualize package prototypes and other materials as they will appear on the finished product.

Developed for brand managers, product managers, corporations and advertising agencies, Color-Logic said the Process Metallic Color System gives licensees the ability to differentiate themselves and their clients from the competition by simplifying the design and print production process and implementing eye-catching decorative effects into their branded products and associated collateral.

The Color-Logic system is compatible with offset, inkjet, flexography, digital presses, screen printing and gravure processes, and is suited for multiple end uses, including packaging, pouches, direct mail, point-of-purchase material, signage, postcards, literature, booklets, labels, shrink sleeves and calendars.

CGS’s IC3D Suite is the world's first 3D real-time packaging simulation and design application to combine multiple packaging disciplines in one tool, so reducing the time spent on 3D mock-ups and prototypes by at least half.

Mark Geeves, director of sales and marketing at Color-Logic, said: ‘Time to market is a huge issue for brands and the combination of the Color-Logic system and the IC3D Suite speeds up design time by reducing the production of 3D mockups and prototyping.’
