From customizable checklists and color accuracy verification to making version comparison quicker and easier, it enables teams to build approval workflows, proofread pack copy and check artwork compliance all in one place &#8211; and right out of the box,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From booth SU-35019 in the South Hall Upper of Las Vegas Convention Center, Esko will showcase how WebCenter Go helps teams move fast without compromising on quality, user experience or regulatory standards. \u201cPre-built templates, transparent workflows, a user-friendly interface, super-easy deployment and the flexibility to adapt to a company\u2019s evolving packaging needs ensure WebCenter Go is the ideal packaging management solution for growing brands,\u201d said Jan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Intelligent and automated compliance validation<br><\/strong>Pack Expo attendees will see firsthand a powerful new tool that streamlines complex processes to help brands meet packaging compliance standards, dramatically reducing costly errors, reworks, and regulatory risk.
