Automated and electronic proofreading, text verification and label inspection

The packaging development stage is a critical step in deciding how quickly a product reaches the market. This process is a time-consuming and challenging task with pressing deadlines and lengthy approval processes. Global Vision's automated and electronic proofreading solutions are designed to:

• Decrease approval times
• Accelerate time-to-market
• Increase packaging accuracy
• Protect brand identity
• Reduce costs

Global Vision's end-to-end automated inspection systems can improve every step of the packaging process:

• QA/QC: inspects incoming packaging or labels for errors prior to market release
• Package design/graphics: compares artwork revisions to ensure accuracy
• Prepress: ensures that the plate matches the approved file before printing
• Printer: catches undetected defects before it's too late; our offline system provides for quick and accurate checks of press sheets

By implementing Global Vision's inspection solutions at every stage of the workflow process, companies can ensure that no costly errors get through. Ensure brand protection and faster approval and market launch times by having Global Vision's automated proofreading solutions fully integrated into your packaging workflow.

Document comparison and label inspection

Docu-Proof™ Enterprise, a text verification tool, automatically inspects text for differences, regardless of layout or format. No more manual character to character comparisons. Docu-Proof Enterprise even supports the inspection of foreign language characters and Braille. Differences such as changes in font type or size, text, spelling and location changes will be easily detected by Global Vision's Docu-Proof Enterprise. It is perfect for comparing and verifying labels, leaflets, inserts, marketing materials, contracts and all other critical documents.

Artwork and graphics inspection tool

Digital Page™ is a powerful artwork and graphic inspection tool that allows for the comparison of graphic files in seconds instead of hours. Digital-Page dramatically increases packaging accuracy while reducing inspections times. It quickly detects and identifies missing text and graphics, incorrect fonts and text size as well as broken type and color deviations. Digital-Page is intended for the inspection of electronic files only.

Print inspection system

Scan TVS™ offers a comprehensive inspection system for the complete inspection of all printed components from proofs, labels, brochures, cartons and nested press sheets of both printed (hardcopy) and electronic files. Scan TVS finds print defects, missing added or broken elements and color differences between a wide array of file types. With its various add-on modules, Scan TVS™-CS also offers Braille (verification and translation), Barcode (grading and decoding) as well as Booklet inspection options.

Bottle, tube and cylinder inspection

Scan 360™ is the world's first cylindrical and tube artwork scanning system ideal for packaging and manufacturing environments. Scan 360 scans the surface of a cylindrical item and renders a flat, two-dimensional digital file proof for easy inspection and comparison. Working in conjunction with Scan TVS software, the Scan 360 is a powerful proofreading tool that is well suited for the production end of the print and packaging workflow.

True quality control Braille inspection

BraillePoint™ is a Braille verification workstation that uses the latest in precision laser technology to scan, read and evaluate embossed and screen printed Braille on cartons, labels or any type of packaging. BraillePoint looks at presence, dot height, dot width, dot spacing and line spacing. BraillePoint also reads and translates Braille directly onto the screen for instant verification and validation. Scan a label with Braille in seconds and ensure accurate, error free, readable text on all packaging. BraillePoint has customizable maximum and minimum dot height settings and provides extensive reporting detailing pass and fail grades for each Braille dot. BraillePoint is the most powerful and accurate Braille dot measurement system on the market today.
