During the lifecycle of a packaging artwork, the team requires / creates several documents that support the final artwork. How does the team manage all the documents?
To answer this, ManageArtworks provides a central library that helps the team to store and manage all the required documents.
The typical document types that are managed are as follows:
S. No. | Document Type | What does that mean? | Typical File Formats |
1. | Artwork Brief | Details of the text that should go into the Artwork | Word, Excel, XML |
2. | Approved Copy | Some Companies do not have the digital copy of the Artwork with them and so they can upload the scanned copy of the file. This can be used as a reference file (in a workflow) for revising the artwork | Pdf, jpeg |

6. | Mock | Pharma & CPG (FMCG) companies use Mock Files in different contexts. Pharma Companies are required to submit the Mock file to the regulator for drug approval.
