Artwork

Artwork is the final visual content used for packaging, labels, or marketing. It can include logos, text, images, barcodes, regulatory information, and design elements. Every detail is important and all assets must be formatted with precision for printing or digital use.

In regulated industries like pharmaceuticals and medical devices, artwork needs to be accurate and follow strict rules. Even a small mistake, like a missing dosage instruction, can have serious consequences. That’s why proofreading, version control, and compliance checks are essential. 

Quality control tools such as GlobalVision Desktop (GVD) and Verify spot critical errors before they are submitted for approval. They are key in ensuring flawless artwork in even step of your quality control workflow.
