Hybrid Software Brandz Adds AI and Compliance Power

Hybrid Software Brandz is sharpening its focus on workflow automation and packaging accuracy with the latest updates to Artflow and iC3D. In Artflow 26.03, the company is introducing AI-powered automation that directly addresses one of the biggest pressure points in packaging production: getting copy and compliance right the first time. Automated copy import from PIM systems, paired with intelligent proofing against GS1 regulatory standards, allows teams to catch errors earlier in the process and reduce the manual burden traditionally associated with artwork validation.

The update goes beyond automation and into workflow intelligence. A strengthened rule engine now validates spelling, units of measure, and brand-specific rules, while a new customizable dashboard gives teams real-time visibility into projects and task status. On the visualization side, iC3D expands support for complex packaging formats with native CF2 dielines for applications such as pouches and sachets, alongside improved asset categorization across product lines and standards. As Igor Vandromme notes, “With AI-driven automation in Artflow and enhanced capabilities in iC3D, we’re helping our customers simplify workflows, reduce errors and bring products to market faster.” This is a clear signal that packaging software is moving further toward intelligent, standards-driven automation rather than standalone design tools.
