Hybrid Software Brandz, provider of artwork management and packaging visualisation software has made new AI-powered advancements to its Artflow and iC3D solutions.
The updates introduce automation and enhanced compliance capabilities in Artflow, alongside expanded functionality in iC3D, helping packaging teams improve accuracy, reduce manual effort and accelerate time to market.
According to the company, the AI-powered capabilities added to Artflow 26.03 help to streamline artwork creation and validation. Automated copy import from Product Information Management (PIM) systems, combined with intelligent proofing of regulatory content using GS1 standards, enables teams to identify errors earlier and significantly reduce manual review.
“Packaging teams are under increasing pressure to deliver accurate, compliant and visually compelling products at speed,” said Igor Vandromme, vice president of Hybrid Software Brandz. “With AI-driven automation in Artflow and enhanced capabilities in iC3D, we’re helping our customers simplify workflows, reduce errors and bring products to market faster.”
Artflow’s enhanced rule engine can further strengthen compliance by automatically validating copy sheets against defined criteria, including spelling, measurement units, and custom rules aligned with internal guidelines.
Hybrid Brandz has also introduced new functionality in its iC3D 3D packaging visualisation software. Enhancements include advanced asset categorisation, enabling users to organise assets by product line, GS1 standards or other criteria.
iC3D now also supports native CF2 dieline formats for applications such as stand-up pouches and sachets. Users can create and edit dielines using the PACKZ PDF editor, generate accurate 3D visuals and export CF2 files, streamlining workflows for packaging professionals working with complex structures and formats.
