Natural Balance Foods
How St. Anne's helped
Natural Balance Foods started working with St Anne’s at the very beginning of their journey to a major player in the Health and Energy bar market.
Natural Balance Foods had great control of the concept, design and manufacture of their products aided by their Inhouse Design team. But were finding difficulties in realising this vision at print and across their Bar films, Multipacks and Shelf ready packaging.
St Anne’s started working closely with the Marketing and Design teams to help guide them in the limitations and the effects of the different printing methods. Taking on the tasks of artwork creation and full Reprographics for their complete range of packaging we worked hard to ensure a colour match across the multiple packaging and printing types.
As St Anne’s was now holding all the Artwork and Print ready files, we were best placed to then help control the copy and content.
Our expert team make sure the correct copy is applied and approved and the many legal requirements of food packaging are followed.
Close ties were built up with all the printers and full Reprographics for all SKU’s were applied at St Anne’s.
St Anne’s again worked with the printers to create accurate colour and proofing settings so that we could produce press accurate colour proofs for approval by NBF before items had gone to print.
Flowmation our Online Approval and Library system was then used to gain Approvals and make any amends needed.
Manufacturers and legal approval were also brought online giving NBF full oversight and control.
Once all this was approved St Anne’s sent print ready final files to the printer along with press target colour proofs.
Using our online Approval system Flowmation, full artwork, repro and proofing services NBF has gained full control of their packaging chain.
