Design: Focus on Shape, color and front graphics (Primary Design Panel)
Ignorant of technical challenges

““““Concurrent Design””””
Always consider shape and artwork together

Prepress• Finalize artwork (eg. Barcode)
• Separate for the different color stations
• Trapping: Reduce visual effect of press mis-registration
• Fine-tune the contone images for press colorants
• Deal with shrink distortion…
• Deal with other limitations of the plate/press/substrate
• Make a contract proof to match the press
• Check and fix the bleed and back-match
• Separate for opaque white or other effects
• Step & Repeat to fill the entire printing cylinder
• Make plates/cylinders
• …

Deal with Shrink Distortion
Know the Distortion
Know what you want (Design Intent)
Adapt the artwork

Know the Distortion
In the Past
• Print & shrink a grid
• Tape measure
• Repeat
Now
● Shrink Simulation
● 3D model of container
● Sleeve specs

Shrink Simulation
Frowning at flat panels, due to build-up of tension
Non-contacting areasshaped by an equilibrium between shrink force and elastic tension.
Shear and vertical distortiondue to constraints from asymmetrical container
Uneven shrink around container, due to friction between sleeve and container.
![Page 18: Design and origination for sleeve labels Website...Shrink Simulation Frowning at flat panels, due to build-up of tension Non-contacting areas shaped by an equilibrium between shrink](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042111/5e8c2b96e0cc1047cd0820c2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Once you have the virtual 3D grid for a container, you can preview any artwork on it
• No more need for print- and shrink-tests
• Automatically pre-distort selected graphic
• Check the back-match
• Tweak the placement of design elements

Know What You Want:
The Design Intent
Design: The agency focuses only on the primary design panel (Photoshop’ed front view)
Artwork is laid out on a 2D template, undistorted.
Prepress: The artwork that is handed over to the converter is still dubious.

Design Intent: Examples

For wider features, a constant
width can look unnatural.For narrow features,
A constant width
is desirable.
Too close to the seam
to preserve width

Full Backgrounds
Impossible to pre-distort as a single image.
• Leave it distorted
• Or split into separate images
Mind the back match.

Opaque White
• Sleeves are transparent: Printed white base allow windows
• Tools exist to facilitate the creation of this separation
• Tools to visualize
