Artwork Review/Quality Check - Overview
Companies looking for quality artwork and labeling require artwork quality check and labeling quality check to ensure perfection, not just in terms of product technicalities, but also in terms of communicating the product usability to the end-user. Even a simple typo on the final artwork or artwork defects could cost an organization millions of dollars and a comprehensive artwork review could be the best solution.
There are several reasons why companies are unable to address this issue of artwork defects. Some of them include:
- Lack of proficient artwork label proofreading/QC professionals, with Regulatory artwork background
- Absence of electronic proofreading tools in the process
- Limited knowledge of Regulatory requirements
In such scenarios, companies must bear the consequences if they fail to address the gross technical, contextual, and content-based artwork defects.
With specialized knowledge of Regulatory aspects, Freyr’s artwork label proofreading and review services stand apart from other artwork studios.
Equipped with the right resources to handle manual and software-enabled artwork reviews, we have successfully handled proofreading for various Tier-1, mid-sized, and small industries/companies. Freyr’s artwork review complies with the 4-Eye approach due to which quality proofreading is established as an integral function to cater to customers. As part of artwork proofreading services for pharma and life sciences, Freyr performs the below list of critical checks.
Artwork Review – Critical Checks Performed
- Check brand name consistency
- Check active ingredient availability
- Check the dosage displayed on all panels of a carton or folding box (in the case of a leaflet, check dosage consistency in all repetitions)
- Check if all annotations are carried out by the stakeholders
- Check if the SAP/Supply Chain ID is visible in the artwork for future tracking
- Check for the Pharma Code required for the production line and ensure it is correct per the new change request
- Check if the artwork is created per the right technical drawing and if all the variable data required is catered and aligned to the specified production site
- Check for colors and separations to make sure no additional color is added, as any variation will lead to artwork non-compliance
