Hybrid Software, a provider of enterprise software for the packaging and printing industry, has released PACKZ 12, the latest version of its PDF editor for packaging prepress. The release introduces an AI-powered assistant that helps users work more efficiently, along with support for Amazon Transparency codes for product serialization and authentication.
The multilingual AI assistant reportedly provides context-aware guidance for PACKZ tools and workflows, giving new users quick access to relevant information and step-by-step assistance for routine tasks. It can also generate PACKZ Action Lists, dynamic information panels, print marks and scripting code, helping prepress teams automate routine processes and develop custom workflows more quickly.
PACKZ 12 supports Amazon Transparency Codes through its barcode and variable data printing capabilities. Together with Hybrid Software’s Artflow artwork management software and CLOUDFLOW enterprise software, PACKZ forms part of an end-to-end workflow spanning code retrieval, artwork approval, barcode generation and print production.
The integrated solution enables scalable serialization and accurate production of Amazon Transparency codes and supports emerging GS1 Sunrise 2027 initiatives through the adoption of data-rich 2D barcodes.
