Pre-press tools for sleeve
production
Francoise
Coudert, Senior Application Engineer, Esko, France
The use of shrink sleeves as label is increasingly
requested by the CPC's for manufacturing purposes.
However, it has a dramatic impact on the graphic design
which needs to take into account the anamorphic distortion
and deformation the shrinking will induce. Clever
software tools are there to pre-calculate the deformation
in order to design and to visualise the result in
3D. It opens a whole new range of possibilities for
the usage and production of shrink sleeves and flexible
packaging.
Françoise Coudert, after 10 years in production
(design and pre-press ) became responsible for training
and software demonstrations for various suppliers
in the packaging world. Since 2002, her duties with
Esko have consisted in flow analysis, project management
and assistance with the integration of new technologies
for clients on the packaging market.

Challenges and solutions for managing
multiple colours for multiple printing techniques
Jan
De Roeck, Director of Software Product management,
ESKO, Belgium
The printing of packaging colours is characterised
by the multitude of colours beyond the conventional
four-colour printing in order to respect the branding
and to render specific subject colours. Similarly,
it needs to get optimised for each printing technologies
on a diversity of substrates. To manage and master
this complex area intelligent colour management software
must be embedded in the total pre-press system. The
session will describe solutions for multi colour process
printing.
Jan De Roeck (1966) leads and coordinates from the
Gent - Belgium headquarters, in the function of Director
Product Marketing Software, the product marketing
activities for Scope, Esko-Graphics' integrated packaging
software suite. With a general printing and pre-press
background and a specialization in Graphic Design,
Jan started back in 1989 with Barco as application
specialist for digital image retouching. Over the
past 10 years, Jan has held different product management
positions developing a particular interest and experience
in solutions and workflows for the Packaging Industry.
Since the merger of Barco Graphics and Purup-Eskofot
into Esko-Graphics in March 2002, Jan holds the position

ATT digital tags : security and
customer relations
Alain
Foucou, Vice-Président, ATT Advanced Track
& Trace, France
• Authentication
of products and components
• Mastering
the traceability of single products
• Personnalised
customer relations : information, activities, loyalty
schemes
• Integrating
digital tags in the digital workflow
• New areas
for innovation
Two examples of the integration of authenticators
in the digital workflow :
- The ATT Seal Vector : secured unit authentication
and traceability
In today’s world, counterfeiters can produce
packaging and labels that look exactly like the originals,
making it very difficult often to distinguish between
real and fake.
In order effectively to combat counterfeit, ATT uses
secure solutions in the digital environment, well
upstream of the means of production and without modifying
the processes involved.
The ATT Seal Vector Authenticator makes it possible
to detect copies and prove the origin of the products,
their packaging, components and accompanying documents.
The Seal Vector also provides for identification of
each product in an invisible manner that cannot be
copied, with a view to fighting diversion and parallel
markets and thus fully controling marketing channels.
The inclusion of ATT Seal Vector Authenticators in
a digital production chain creates considerable value
and provides new solutions for the whole supply chain.
- Combination of digital workflow and mobile phones
for CRM
The ATT Seal Tag and CRM (client information/loyalty/games,
etc.) The ATT digital tag is a matrix of intelligent
data in different shapes (square, circle, rectangle,
triangle, logos, etc.) and colours that can be found
on consumer goods, newspapers, posters, etc. A Seal
Tag can contain a large amount of information; it
can provide information on the composition of a product,
its mode of use, its history, origins, etc.
Sensed by a mobile phone, a Seal Tag on a product,
catalogue, advertisment, etc. provides direct access
to a web page. It is thus possible to link a consumer
to a brand and give him the possibility of accessing
sites, photos, videos, information, games, etc.
Seal Tags are decoded with a simple mobile telephone
equipped with a camera. After launching the application
and identifying the tag simply by aiming the lens
at it and centring it on the telephone display, there
is a direct connection with the corresponding service.
A series of organised, secure numbers (ATT QSV.1)
can be included under most of the tags and provides
a connection to the sites using a keyboard.
Produced in a digital creation and printing chain,
Seal Tags thus provide a direct, personnalised brand
/ consumer relation.
