MIS & ERP · Flexographic prepress

The operating system for flexo prepress shops.

One platform for every step — artwork intake, prepress and screening, plate imaging and QC, delivery and invoicing by plate area. Purpose-built for flexographic trade shops.

Built with prepress shops, not retrofitted for them.

Product

Every step of the plate, in one system.

Flexoworks replaces the spreadsheets, sticky notes, and disconnected tools most prepress shops run on — with an MIS purpose-built for plate production.

Quoting & job intake

Receive artwork from brands and converters. Flag press-incompatible files up front. Quote by plate area, complexity, and rush window — not guesswork.

Prepress workflow

Track color separation, trapping, dot gain compensation, and screening (HD Flexo, Crystal) against the target press and substrate — all versioned to the job.

Plate imaging

Hand off imposed artwork to your CDI with substrate and press specs attached. Pull back imaging logs, exposure data, and finished plate metadata automatically.

QC & plate tracking

Log defects, register accuracy, and dot structure checks on every plate. Know exactly where each plate stands — imaging, washout, drying, finishing, shipped.

Delivery & logistics

Build plate kits by job, generate labels and carrier manifests, and give converters real-time status from your floor to their receiving dock.

Customers & invoicing

A single system of record for brands, converters, and designers. Invoice by plate area and rush fees with AR aging and statements built in.

How it works

From artwork to delivered plates — without the handoff chaos.

Every stage of plate production tracked, versioned, and connected in one system of record.

  1. 01Start

    Artwork arrives

    Brands, packaging designers, and converters submit artwork in any format. Flexoworks checks files against the target press and substrate, flags issues, and opens a job ticket.

  2. 02

    Prepress & screening

    Your team runs color separation, trapping, dot gain compensation, and HD Flexo or Crystal screening. Every revision is versioned against the job, customer, and press curve.

  3. 03

    Image, process, QC

    Imposed artwork hands off to the CDI. Plates run through washout, drying, and finishing with timestamps, exposure logs, and QC checks tied to each plate.

  4. 04

    Deliver & invoice

    Plate kits ship to the converter with tracking. Invoices post automatically — priced by plate area, complexity, and rush window — and land in AR aging.

Integrations

Works with the equipment you already run.

Flexoworks plugs into your existing prepress stack — imagers, screening tools, photopolymer families, carriers, and accounting — so you don't retool to adopt it.

Why Flexoworks

Not a generic ERP bolted onto prepress.

Generic MIS software doesn't understand plate area, press curves, or rush windows. Flexoworks was designed around the way trade shops actually run.

Priced like prepress

Quotes in plate area, not widgets.

Most ERPs think in SKUs and units. Flexoworks thinks in square meters of imaged plate, rush windows, repeat-job rules, and the pricing quirks real trade shops actually use.

Understands your press

Press curves live in the system.

Screening, dot gain, and QC are captured against the target press and substrate — not generic job data. Every plate ships tuned to the converter running it.

One record per everything

A single home for brands, jobs, and plates.

Every brand, converter, artwork revision, and physical plate has one canonical record. No more chasing emails or spreadsheets to find a plate's current status.
