PitStop hosted in the cloud and integrated in your web solution
Speed is the name of the game in web-to-print, but all too often, it's a game slowed down by outdated processes and the need for manual file checks.
Non-embedded fonts? Low-res images? RGB instead of CMYK? No bleed? Transparency? Overprint? Discovering these usual suspects late in the PDF production process hits where it hurts most: your pocket, your deadlines, and your customers' trust.

In 2025, Panda Game Manufacturing ran roughly 37,000 files through PitStop Library Container. Around 20,000 of those came back with problems, and the clients deleted the files and uploaded corrected ones without anyone at Panda stepping in.
That's pretty substantial for us, to not have to step in and help every time. The prepress team is very happy that they don't have to do the very simple tasks. They get to do the more fun stuff.
