Hybrid partners with PACKZ

Hybrid Software is to partner with PACKZ Software to distribute and support its new pre-press tools for the labels and packaging markets worldwide.

PACKZ Software was launched earlier this month and has been established to provide a range of tools to simplify and improve packaging and label workflows, and make high-quality editing accessible to small, medium and high production volume professionals.

The software incorporates a complete set of pre-press, editing and quality assurance features such as trapping, separation handling, barcode creation and recognition, dynamic creation of marks and information panels, and object-based screening.

With its modern multi-core 64-bit architecture, running under OS-X and Windows, the native PDF editor ensures optimal performance and user friendliness. Interactive editing up to output stage remains in the native PDF format.

Guido Van der Schueren, chairman of PACKZ Software, said: ‘For too long our industry has been craving innovation.

‘As the commonly used pre-press products and solutions come to the natural end of their lifecycle, there has been a stagnation of advances in productivity. With PACKZ we have created a supreme editing tool that gives anyone - even those with limited design or production skills - the ability to easily and quickly manipulate native PDF content.’

Christopher Graf, chief executive officer of PACKZ Software, added: ‘The level of positive feedback from the early adopters during the go-to-market period has been overwhelming.

‘We are thrilled that our very first product offers such a degree of innovation, enabling professionals in the labels and packaging industry to incorporate and combine native PDF functionality in a way that results in productivity that is second to none.’
