While print technology has improved over the years, it’s the responsibility of the brand to make sure the packaging and labeling that is released to the market is correct in all respects. The onus of checking that the quality of the labeling is correct is with the brand owner and this can be accomplished by using ManageArtworks offline print inspection tool.
