Esko Oﬀers 3 Packages
for New FDA Regulations
ESKO | esko.com
In response to a May 2016 announcement of a new nutrition facts label from
the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Esko has put together three
workflow options for package printers who will face new labeling regulations.
Method 1 is designed for brand owners and printers whose data resides
in various systems or in fi les. Users can create nutritional fact tables (NFTs)
from scratch by entering data into templates, which are then centralized for
review and approval before being placed into artwork.
Method 2, for users whose data isn't digitally managed, features an
Adobe Illustrator plug-in that provides NFT templates and inserts them into
artwork. Nutritional information can then be updated and routed for review
and approval, while in the background, the plug-in centralizes the data for
future updates.
Esko calls Method 3 "full system integration," for users whose nutritional
information is available in a structured fashion within other external systems.
Users can automate the data collection, routing, and approval steps.
