Software company, Esko, has launched a new tool designed to streamline processes and automate compliance standards checks for packaging brands
Packaging software solutions company, Esko, has launched a new tool designed to streamline complex processes to help brands meet packaging compliance standards.
The tool, which is a new module for Esko’s WebCenter packaging management solution, aims to dramatically reduce errors, reworks, and regulatory risk.
Esko Comply offers automation capabilities which validate critical components of product packaging and promotional materials, using customisable rules and AI to check labels and packaging for missing allergens, incorrect barcodes, FDA formatting violations, and other potential errors.
Abilities of Comply include creating custom rulebooks based on brand compliance and requirements like logo, copy, language, industry requirements, and mandates. The tool can also be used to verify barcodes, as well as ensure image accuracy.
The solution, which was designed with input from compliance officers, brand managers, and creative teams, also offers automated image measurement capabilities. When operators set the required dimensions of images and logos for image position, dimensions, colours, and brand elements, an AI systems performs all the measurements, reportedly without any additional operator input.
The tool offers a full audit trail and reporting logs, maintaining a history of checks, approvals, and changes for traceability.
Chief marketing officer of Esko, Jan De Roeck, says: “With this new innovation, we are complementing our existing preflight tools and bringing additional quality assurance validation to our customers’ workflows.
“Ensuring artwork compliance has traditionally been a time-consuming and error-prone process, involving multiple rounds of manual reviews and approvals. With this latest solution, we’re transforming compliance from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage by helping teams identify and address issues early and move faster with confidence.”
Esko Comply is now available to Esko’s pre-release community, ahead of a wider release in November 2025. The solution was recently presented to an audience of industry professionals as part of Esko World 2025, which took place from June 3rd to 5th in St. Louis, USA.
