Five versions of the truth
Retailer, agency, supplier and printer each work from a different file. Details slip through the gaps.
Packaging specification & artwork platform for private brands and CPGOne spec. Every party.
One spec. Every party.
Right first time.
SpecOne™ puts retailer, agency, supplier and printer on one live specification — and checks every label, artwork and translation against EU and FDA rules before it ever reaches the printer.
The problem
Packaging errors are expensive. Most are avoidable.
Specs live in spreadsheets, artwork lives in inboxes, and mistakes surface after the testing lab, after the printer — sometimes after the run. Every one costs you money and weeks.
Mistakes found too late
Errors surface at the testing institute or on press — when fixing them means reprints, delays and lost shelf time.
Translations that don't sell
Word-for-word translation reads wrong on pack and misses the mandatory wording each market demands.
One live spec
Specification, artwork and translation. Locked together as one.
Everything on a pack starts from the same approved specification. SpecOne™ keeps all three layers connected, so a change made once reaches every artwork, every language and every party — instantly.
Specification
Product data, label copy and print specs, validated the moment they're entered.
Artwork
Checked against the spec and the law of every market before it goes to press.
Translation
Every market language carried from the same approved copy.
Artwork scan
Every artwork, checked like a senior compliance specialist would.
Upload the print file and SpecOne™ checks it against the law of every target market — EU and FDA — against your own specification, and against your printer's report. Every finding is pinned to the exact spot on the artwork, in a report you can send straight to your designer or printer.
EU: name of the food, ingredients and QUID, allergen emphasis, nutrition declaration (completeness, order and math), net quantity and the ℮ mark, date marking, storage and use instructions, food business operator, origin, lot code and alcohol strength, under EU 1169/2011 and each market’s national rules. US: statement of identity, net quantity of contents in US customary and metric units, ingredient list, the nine major food allergens and the “Contains” statement, the Nutrition Facts panel (format, rounding and % Daily Value) and the name and place of business, under FDA 21 CFR Part 101 and FALCPA.
dieline and bleed, inks and spot colors, barcode validity and GTIN/UPC match, quiet zone, certification symbols and market marks — from EU marks like Triman, deposit and material codes to US recycling claims and state warnings such as California Prop 65.
nutrition and health claims checked against the EU Register of nutrition and health claims and FDA rules for nutrient content and health claims (21 CFR 101.13 and 101.14) — and against the numbers on your own pack.
minimum type sizes (EU x-height rules and FDA minimum type sizes, including net-quantity size by pack or principal display panel size), contrast, field-of-vision and information-panel placement, and language coverage per market.
every language version checked against the others: ingredients, allergen emphasis, mandatory particulars
the artwork compared line by line with the print specification and label copy you entered, and cross-checked against the printer's inspection report
the whole pack is read as a senior consultant would — wording, claim risk, design issues. Always clearly marked as advisory; never a substitute for your final sign-off
every report states what was checked, what passed, what failed, and what could not be judged and why
Catch it before the artwork exists
Your product specification — legal name, ingredients, allergens, nutrition, claims, net quantity, dates — is checked against the same rulebook the moment it's entered. Problems get fixed at the spec stage, not in round three of artwork.
Packaging translations, not literal ones
Label copy in every market language, written the way packaging actually reads. Mandatory particulars carried across, every language checked against the others, and every translation ready for human sign-off.
Platform
Everything your packaging needs. One platform.
From first brief to approved print file — the spec, the checks and the people who sign it off, in one place.
Work orders & specs
Capture every packaging detail once, in clear, validated fields everyone fills in.
Compliance scan
Instant checks against current EU and FDA labeling law, block by block.
Artwork scan
Every print file checked against the approved spec before it goes to press.
Translations
Packaging-ready label copy in every market language.
Roles for everyone
Retailer, agency, supplier and printer each see exactly their part — nothing more.
Approvals & audit trail
Nothing ships without sign-off. Every change stays on record.
How it works
From brief to print-ready in three steps
A turn-based workflow with dual approval. No spreadsheets, no chasing, no outdated versions.
01
Agency kicks off
Open a packaging work order and the supplier and printer are invited to their turn.
02
Suppliers & printers fill in
Product data, label copy and print specs go into structured, validated fields — no more email attachments.
03
SpecOne™ checks everything
Compliance and artwork scans run at every step, and the print file is only released after dual approval.
Why it pays
One reprint costs more than a year of checks.
Catch errors while they're still a file: fewer external review fees, fewer approval rounds, and no reprints for avoidable mistakes. Customers typically save hundreds to thousands of dollars per artwork — and weeks of time to market.
Human sign-off on every checkEU and FDA rules built in
You only spend credits when you run a check — a scan costs a fraction of a single reprint.
