Prepress Services for US Packaging & Print Projects
Prepress is one of those things that nobody thinks about until something goes wrong at the printer. A missing bleed here, incorrect trapping there, a barcode that fails grade testing and suddenly your entire print run is delayed or reprinted at significant cost.
Langoor Designs has been doing prepress for 13+ years across some of the world’s most demanding print and packaging environments. For US brands, printers, and packaging suppliers, we offer end-to-end prepress services that ensure your files print correctly the first time, every time.

Our Prepress Services for US Clients
-
File Preparation & PDF Optimization
We prepare print-ready PDFs to exact printer specifications correct color profiles, embedded fonts, proper bleeds and crop marks, flattened transparencies, and optimized file sizes. Whether you're printing flexo, gravure, offset, or digital, we know what each process needs.
-
Trapping
Trapping prevents white gaps appearing at color boundaries during printing a critical technical step that's easy to get wrong and expensive to fix after the fact. We apply trapping to CMYK, spot colors, and Pantone builds, tailored to your specific print process and stock.
-
Color Separation
We handle color separation for flexographic, gravure, and offset printing managing ink counts, overprints, knockouts, and process vs spot color decisions to keep your print costs controlled while maintaining color accuracy.
-
Barcode Verification
Every barcode we produce is verified for GS1 compliance and grade-tested to meet retailer requirements. US retailers including major supermarket chains and big-box stores have strict barcode standards we make sure yours passes every time.
-
Artwork Quality Check (QC)
Our multi-point QC process covers technical accuracy (bleeds, trapping, resolution), legal compliance (FDA requirements, mandatory label elements), barcode performance, color accuracy, and overall print readiness. Nothing leaves our studio without passing this check.
-
Print Proof Coordination
We work directly with your printer to manage proof reviews, flag any production concerns, and ensure the approved proof accurately represents the final printed product.
