Case Study: Columbine Label boosts prepress efficiency with Hybrid Software’s CLOUDFLOW and PACKZ

Columbine Label cuts proofing from days to under 24 hours with Hybrid Software

Columbine Label, a custom label converter, faced significant bottlenecks and delays in its prepress proofing process, which could extend over a week and cause errors across departments. Their previous automation system was ineffective, leading to production backups. To address this challenge, they worked with vendor Hybrid Software to implement the CLOUDFLOW workflow production software.

The solution from Hybrid Software interfaced CLOUDFLOW with the company's existing Label Traxx system, enabling immediate file access and automatic error detection. Using Hybrid Software's PACKZ for editing, the new system allowed all departments to spot and alert errors quickly. As a result, proofing time was reduced from several days to under 24 hours, speeding up production, increasing capacity, and freeing up employee time by improving file accessibility and archival.
