Collage for Packaging Gravure

The ultimate in flexibility, quality and productivity

Collage, the premier job layout software for the packaging and specialty printing industry, is designed to increase your productivity and expand your options with the highest quality results.

Perfect for the mixed shop, Collage can output jobs for any machine: Spectrum, Prism, Gravostar, or Hell engravers. Learn a single workflow for the best productivity. Hell Output Module is optional.

Are your suppliers providing full-up (completely stepped-and-repeated) images? Use Collage to set up the output parameters and use Collage's quality improvement tools. Or, step-and-repeat a single one-up image with Collage. The most complex layout can be created in Collage: nested, stepped, or multiple images of different sizes. Images in PDF, PostScript or Tiff can all be used.
