Get to know Snakeprint, a young flexo printing company specialising in flexible packaging, and how they have become even more flexible since integrating PACKZ.
Snakeprint’s entire graphic processing with 1-up editing, step-and-repeat and print marks is done singularly in PACKZ. HYBRID has enjoyed working with Snakeprint and we’re thrilled to see their renovated digital editing process, which smoothly covers all steps from registering customer data to final output.
PACKZ integration
Snakeprint is a specialized foil printing company in Bensheim, Germany with many years of experience in the field of foil production in flexo printing. Snakeprint’s catalog of services includes professional advice on individual foil packaging solutions, optimal preparation of the print images in the in-house digital prepress and the high-quality production process with printing and finishing.
HYBRID is a reliable partner in the digital prepress sector. Print shop manager Oliver Schöne recalls: “It was clear to us that we would need a powerful, easy-to-use solution that could meet our high-quality standards and at the same time enable us to implement jobs efficiently and quickly. We also knew that only a PDF-based approach was an option for us, as this is clearly the format of the future. This is how we became aware of HYBRID Software and PACKZ.”
After a training and set-up phase, Snakeprint will implement the processing of the digital print images 100% in PACKZ, as well as the creation of the overall forms and the decoration of the print marks. David Geschwind, the technical director of Snakeprint shares: “Since we are supplied almost exclusively with PDF data in our daily work, PACKZ is the perfect tool for us. We can start work directly without any major conversion. The fact that we can operate the entire digital editing process, from checking customer data and single-up processing to cross-feed and special flexo screen configuration, with a single application makes everyday life much easier! With the help of the integrated checking mechanisms, we can also identify critical areas and errors early on and avoid unnecessary correction rounds.”
Oliver Schöne is looking forward to the future: “At Snakeprint, we offer extremely high-quality, special solutions and want to provide our customers with a very special quality through our expertise and modern production methods. Of course, we are very pleased about the successful start-up phase, in which our prepress department has benefited greatly from the professional support provided by HYBRID Software. Even in times of COVID-19 we are very confident that we are needed and that Snakeprint will be a model of success. And we are happy to have strong partners on our side!”
