PACKZ is a PDF editor for preparing label and packaging artwork for print prepress. It edits PDF content while retaining layer, group and page structure rather than converting the file to an internal format. Pactions records interactive editing steps as reusable action lists. The application combines one-up editing with step-and-repeat layouts, including tabular, grid, nested and Packzimizer options. Variable data can include text, numbers, barcodes, images and color. Color tools include DeviceLink profiles, PANTONE Digital Color support, links to GMG OpenColor and matchmycolor Colibri, as well as trapping, preflight and quality-control views. Artwork warping and real-time 3D inspection support applications such as shrink sleeves and metal cans. PACKZ Max includes a Harlequin RIP for screening and output. PACKZ connects with CLOUDFLOW and MyCLOUDFLOW workflows and with Arden Software and EngView Systems CAD libraries. It runs on macOS and 64-bit Windows, but Windows Server is not supported. PACKZ pricing is available by contacting Hybrid Software or booking a demo. PACKZVIEW is a separate free app for previewing and inspecting production PDFs.
