PACKAGING

With the average supermarket stocking over 40,000 separate lines, and an estimated 75% of all purchases more likely to be made on impulse within a 10 second time-frame rather than pre-determined – the pressure upon a brand to stand out on-shelf is intense. Today’s packaging designers must be clear on all the production steps necessary to create work that truly stands out in an increasingly competitive marketplace. OMNiON uses a variety of comprehensive, high-end Esko-based packaging workflow solutions to meet the ever changing demands of the packaging industry. We forge long-term partnerships with global packaging companies, packaging design agencies, developers & implementors that enables them to focus on packaging concepts while we handle their packaging premedia production and technology needs. Our team offers end-to-end design and layout services to packaging companies of all kinds. OMNiON has an experienced packaging team that arranges, co-ordinates and manages all aspects of packaging production from design to prototype through to ‘pass for print’. This production service specifically addresses the needs of packaging companies that outsource their production. We can create dielines for all types of packaging. Packaging companies benefit from the OMNiON’s packaging printing expertise when designing, developing and producing packages. This knowledge, combined with project and process management reduce steps during package production while optimizing workflows and quality. All packages are assembled 100% digitally using the latest ESKO Software Suite. This enables us to use the latest developments in printing technology which reduces the customers overall cost while improving the quality and turn around time of each finished package.
