The prepress renaissance

Schawk helped Unilever Bestfoods North America improve quality standards for gravure printing, cut time-to-market, and reduce costs. Three of Schawk's operating units combined efforts to do separations, engraving, and cylinder proofing, while working closely with printers to achieve these gains.

By developing new workflow standards, Schawk made it possible for Unilever to achieve the highest quality reproduction of its packaging that prints via gravure, regardless of the substrate or ink system. It gave Unilever greater freedom in the design concept phase, allowing the company to take full advantage of shrink-wrap and foil-laminated substrates.
