For those familiar with the design and packaging industry, the challenges of securing artwork approval are all too familiar. While some might underestimate the complexity of the review and approval process within product creation, it’s essential to acknowledge that every facet, including design review, is crucial in upholding a product’s quality and reliability. Navigating through these multifaceted steps demands collaboration with a wide range of specialists in order to develop a product that not only meets but exceeds market expectations. 


This is where lies the crux of the issue: the difficulties that come with working together, especially if you are not in one office. We have recently completed a study that revealed an astonishing fact: around 70% of professionals still relied on email-proofing for their approval workflow management despite email being a flawed medium. You know the drill: emails get lost, require extra time to be composed and delay the project at its core. This is the point at which an online proofing tool becomes essential.


Not only can an online proofing tool help you to make design and collaboration processes more efficient, but also it can provide an almost painless design review process. You can annotate, scan barcodes, discuss online, view differences in comparison modes, and more using Approval Studio’s review tool.
