PageProof and Ziflow are two online proofing tools that packaging suppliers use for artwork. They differ in where they come from, how they price, and how they connect to other systems.

Pricing changes often, so check the PageProof and Ziflow pricing pages.
Where PageProof suits
PageProof suits packaging suppliers who want packaging-aware checks such as separation previews and barcode scanning, and who value a product with Australian and New Zealand roots. Deeper connections to other systems use its licensed SDK.
Where Ziflow suits
Ziflow suits teams that need structured review workflows with many reviewers, and that want a public API to connect proofing to other systems.
Which suits you
- Most of your proofs are packaging with barcodes and separations. PageProof’s packaging features are a strong fit.
- You need to connect proofing to other systems quickly. Ziflow’s public API makes this simpler.
- You mainly need clear rounds and a record of who approved what. Either will do the job.
Whichever you choose, Otopack automates the work around it
Neither tool knows about your quote, your sales order or your supplier PO. Otopack links them: it starts each proof with the brand’s named reviewers, keeps every round tied to the job and SKU, and attaches only the approved version to the sales order and the supplier PO, so nobody prints an old file.
