Structured Engagements.
Transparent Pricing.
Every engagement begins with a free 30-minute discovery call to establish scope and fit.
Colour Management
& Standardisation
Consistent brand colour across every run is not a creative decision — it is an engineering outcome. Achieving it requires structured press characterisation, documented approval workflows, and substrate-specific ICC profiles.
This engagement delivers a measurable, repeatable colour management system directly applicable on press.
What is covered
- Press fingerprinting and characterisation curves
- G7 / ISO 12647 implementation and qualification
- ICC profile creation and validation
- Substrate characterisation for sustainable materials
- Expanded Colour Gamut (ECG) feasibility assessment
- Brand approval workflow design
Who this is for
Mid-sized converters running food, beverage, or personal care packaging with recurring brand colour compliance issues.
Typical Engagement
3–5 day on-site press qualification + remote follow-up.

& Ink Room Management
Ink room variance is one of the most consistent sources of hidden cost in flexo and gravure operations. Undocumented recipes, informal viscosity protocols, and untracked transfers create deviation that compounds across shifts and press lines.
This engagement delivers structured SOPs, measurable KPIs, and a digital management system directly applicable to your existing operation.
What is covered
- Ink room audit — recipes, viscosity, transfer protocols
- Makeready waste analysis and reduction roadmap
- SOP development for press operators
- KPI dashboard design: waste, makeready time, colour deviation
- Digital ink room management — implementation and team training
Who this is for
Converters with high makeready waste, colour inconsistency across shifts, or ink room knowledge held informally by senior operators.
Typical Engagement
Remote audit: 1 week. On-site implementation: 2–3 days.

Governance
Equipment vendors present their products in the best possible light. A mid-sized converter investing $2–5M in a new press line deserves an advisor whose only interest is the buyer's outcome — from specification writing through final commissioning.
This engagement provides independent technical governance at every stage of a capital investment decision.
What is covered
- Technical specification drafting for new equipment
- Vendor RFP evaluation and independent scoring
- Factory acceptance testing (FAT) supervision
- Installation and commissioning oversight
- Expert witness services for technical disputes
Who this is for
Operations investing $1M–$10M in new press lines, slitters, or converting equipment without a dedicated internal engineering team.
Typical Engagement
Full support throughout specification, FAT, and commissioning.
$15,000–$35,000
depending on scope and travel requirements.

Transfer
When a senior press operator retires, they take years of institutional knowledge with them. Structured training programmes and documented SOPs ensure that operational expertise remains in the plant — independent of any individual.
What is covered
- Flexo and gravure press operator training — on-site
- Colour management fundamentals for QA teams
- Ink room management and SOP rollout training
- Operator onboarding documentation packages
Who this is for
Plants experiencing knowledge gaps as senior operators retire. Mid-sized operations building structured internal competence for the first time.
Typical Engagement
2–4 day structured on-site program.
