ECO3 Unveils Amfortis v4 and PackIQ to Automate Packaging Prepress and Eliminate Manual Bottlenecks

ECO3 announced the release of Amfortis v4, the latest evolution of its packaging prepress workflow software, designed to address the growing complexity and speed demands facing converters and packaging printers. At the core of the update is PackIQ, a new automation module that analyzes incoming files and automatically groups them into production-ready jobs based on metadata, naming conventions, and job tickets.

By eliminating manual file handling and reducing the risk of operator error, PackIQ directly targets one of the most persistent inefficiencies in packaging prepress. As job volumes increase and run lengths shrink, this level of automation enables faster turnaround times and more reliable production workflows. Additional enhancements in Amfortis v4 include conditional production marks, support for custom barcodes, and improved integration with third-party systems and die-cutting data formats.

The new release reinforces ECO3’s focus on open, connected workflows that integrate across offset and flexo environments. Early adopters report measurable gains in efficiency and cost control, particularly in mixed digital and conventional production environments. ECO3 will showcase Amfortis v4 and its full packaging solutions portfolio at ExpoPrint & ConverFlexo 2026 in São Paulo, positioning automation as a key driver of scalable, high-quality packaging production.
