For converters & printers
Keep the press running. Otopack handles the paperwork around it.
Converters and printers quote runs, take artwork through prepress and ship finished stock. Otopack runs the estimating, proof rounds and new brand setup around your ERP, so your team spends less time chasing files and sign-offs.
Sound familiar?
Where a converter’s day goes.
- ESTIMATE
Estimates wait on one person
Costing a run means board prices, make-ready and freight, and one estimator knows how.
- PROOFS
Proof rounds by email
Brands send marked-up PDFs, and prepress works out which file is final.
- SETUP
New brands arrive half set up
Spec sheets, dielines and approvers turn up over weeks.
- FILES
The wrong file reaches the plate
A superseded version goes to print because it was attached to the job.

Straight answer
Otopack is not for you if...
We built Otopack for packaging businesses with real volume and real artwork risk. Here is who we turn away.
You want to replace your ERP.
Otopack works on top of Dynamics and CartonCloud. If you are shopping for a new ERP, we are the wrong call.
You sell plain stock boxes with no printed artwork.
Most of what Otopack does is proofing, compliance checks and repeat SKUs. Without artwork there is little for it to run.
You want nobody to check artwork.
Otopack prepares and checks every proof. A named person on your team or the brand always signs off.
You run a handful of jobs a month from one inbox.
If one person can hold every order in their head, keep doing that. Come back when they cannot.
Questions
What packaging teams ask us.
Does Otopack schedule the press?
No. Production scheduling stays in your own systems. Otopack prepares quotes, proofs and job details before the job reaches production.
Can our prepress team keep their tools?
Yes. Designers keep their own software and upload each version to the proof round.
Does it work the same way for every business?
No. We set it up around your process, your systems and your approval rules. What you see here is a typical setup.
Bring one real order. Watch it run.
Pick a quote, a proof round or a call-off from this week. We will walk it through Otopack on top of your own systems, so you see exactly where the hours go.
